AutoCAD Training Overview

The Autodesk® Inventor® 2018: Sheet Metal Design student guide introduces the concepts and techniques of sheet metal modeling with the Autodesk Inventor software.

The structure of the student guide follows the typical stages of using the Autodesk Inventor software. That is, to create and edit sheet metal parts, generate flat patterns, and document the designs in drawings.
