tips for learning inventor

[sinirrop]

Good morning to all, I have already presented myself in the appropriate section but I bring here my past.
are the holder of a mechanical design study and work mainly with axioms of carpentry parts with mechanisms and cinematisms. project in 3d for about 20 years and I worked mainly with topsolid, a little with solidworks and ptc when still called proe.
I learned how to use these software by self-taught and came to such a level as to use them as a pure tool to design, without finalizing my concentration on the functioning of the cad. with inventor I can't.
I tried to browse the courses that are online, I participated in some course days held by my autodesk provider, but the impression is always the same: they teach the basic modeling for those who have never seen a parametric cad, but the software remains very hostical in everyday use, with a productivity that is not compatible with the times that are required to me (and that they did not represent a problem with other cads).
can you recommend a course, tutorials, a system to deepen the practical aspects of specific use, beyond the general concepts of parametric modeling that I think I know?

depends on what you have to do, I used only inventor, passing by the tecnigraph and then by autocad 2d, with inventor I found myself well. logically if you have to make surfaces is not the program indicated! I suggest you take a course not from a theorist but from a designer who uses it! If you leave well, with the right setting, you will know then use it with maximum efficiency! Otherwise you will always have shortcomings and ways of working incorrectly.

... with inventor I can't.
...the software remains very ostic in everyday use, with productivity that is not compatible...

when I started using inventor, I started working in uk (after 16 years in Italy). I may not exaggerate to say that I had more dificulty with the logic of the inventor than with the English language. I had to learn it quickly because I was forced but every time I bang my head to do some weird new things and eventually I understand the trick I remain amazed by the complexity of the reasoning of those who design the software. The irony is that if your company uses this software and you finally managed to decipher its logic you feel a little indispensable. I've changed two companies, and I've had a lot of salary increases, too, because those who used it for years had a productivity like you say that's not compatible with the times. instead I know that other software could do something in very reduced times I didn't settle

Maybe my luck or bad luck isn't using any other software! and I had to make that go well!

What points are particularly "fastening" for you? Unfortunately for my personal culture I have never managed to deepen the advantages of the upper class cads and I am sincerely curious.

I never thought that topsolid and solidworks were top-class cads. . .
