Course Overview
TOPThe Autodesk Inventor 2019: Sheet Metal Design course introduces the concepts and techniques of sheet metal modeling with the Autodesk Inventor software.
The structure of the course 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.
The practices and files included with this course might not be compatible with prior versions.
