    I am new to 3D equation curves but would like some basic training on them as I would like to start using them, does anyone know of a good starting point ? Thanks, greatly appreciated in advance

    I posted a similar question yesterday - did you see this

    http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/Autodesk-Inventor/3d-sketch-equation-curve/td-p/3807450

     

    Also there are a couple of Help>Learning Tools>Tutorial examples and a search here on the forum turns up a couple of other user questions.

     

    I have some more I created since yesterday and will have my class coming up with some examples that I will post next week.

    In earlier versions (before Equation Curves) there were a bunch of sample equations I think in Excel format and imported points into 2D and 3D sketches.  I think it was in the SDK folder, but not sure.

    In any case, I can't find them in 2013.

    Can someone with earlier release please post these examples?
