Using the tutorials that Inventor comes with is a good start usually. After that you can surf youtube for video tutorials or grab a book.

Below is a link to some books that are well spoken of around here.

Hi! I personally believe the best way is to learn Inventor is to go through the tutorial at least once. So, you understand the basic concept. Then try to think of a project (real or imaginary one) and use Inventor to create the model. You will have questions and uncertainties. This forum is being watched by numerous highly trained professional Inventor users. I am very sure you will get tremendous help here.

Many thanks!

What Johnson said.  That's how I learned Inventor - I went through all the tutorials back with Inventor 2009, and found a set of blueprints and started to just copy the parts and put the thing together.  I made extensive use of JD Mather's links above, and asked a lot of stupid questions on forums as well.

15,000 hours or so later, I think I'm starting to get a handle on a few bits and pieces of how Inventor works.  😄
