Autodesk Inventor R6 Intermediate Level: Mastering the Rubicon

Text by Elise Moss

Separate editions are also available for 
Inventor Release 8

Inventor R7:
According to our information, the change from R6 to R7 is based around the ability for R7 to open files from AutoCAD 2004 & Mechanical Desktop R7. Therefore, the SDC Inventor R6 books may be used with Inventor R7. Please note that SDC does not plan to publish an Inventor R7 book.

The goal of this companion book to Elise Moss's Inventor Fundamentals: Conquering the Rubicon is to take the user to the next level, exploring parameters, iParts, Engineer's Notebook, collaboration, and more advanced modeling.
