Moving from SolidWorks to Inventor, Need some tutorials and tips please!

Anonymous — Thu, 12 Jan 2017 16:44:10 GMT

I have been working with SolidWorks routinely for a while. I am now moving to a new employer who uses Inventor. I haven't been able to find a good source of basic tutorials to get me going.

Is there a good source that is usually recommended to get someone started in becoming efficient using Inventor? SolidWorks has a large database of MANY different people and great instructional videos on YouTube. Not so much on the Inventor side.

Thanks!

Use the 30 day trial of the software at home ..

They have built in Tutorials of all different levels within the software now.

There are some good ones (and horrible ones) on YouTube

Look at some of the re-sellers they have tons of videos online as well to watch and see how things are done.

and then there is this forum where we help each other

If you do searches on these forums, and on Youtube as well as the built in tutorials, there should be plenty of info to help you transition smoothly.

This topic comes up at least 4-5 times a month.
