The Basics of Skeletal Modeling in Autodesk Inventor Part 2 of 2

Part Deux. Autodesk Technical Evangelist Rob Cohee adds another video to his unscripted series. Here Rob goes in depth into what has been a popular topic in his series; Skeletal Modeling. Rob starts with a grey screen and builds out a fully associative assembly file. This technique is especially useful for multiple design iterations, product lines with multiple configurations, and when you are designing for a customer that just can't make up his or her mind. Entertaining, informative, and always off the cuff - Rob offers up some useful tips for modeling within Autodesk Inventor.

[DrWho2008t101]

can you do tutorials on snap fit and ifeatures, difference between make part, make components, feature, inseart feature, drive part, create ipart on the manage tab in inventor 2010. what's the easiest way to do multiple snaps? using ifeature or just create part and just add to the assembly?

That is some great work you're doing there. It was hard to follow partly because I use Inventor 2008, partly because it happened a tad too quickly and mostly because thats not how I learnt to go about modelling.

I model my parts via sketches, and place parts in an assembly. This is creating some particularly troubling situations for lack of common references. More help would be greatly appreciated.

(Or, for now, simply help me with aligning the centre of a cylinder face to a point)
