Comprehensive Inside Inventor 2024 how to manual?

[Jklein9H5FY]

After my recent issue with trying to radius an edge, I have come to realize there are MANY features of Inventor that I have yet to learn. Is there a comprehensive how to manual that gives the steps for using the various features of Inventor Pro '24 or would this be a massive publication?

Thanks again.....

Hello!  There are many publications out there written by a wide variety of experts, instructors, users etc.  The most comprehensive are your basic textbook size.  In my old job, we always kept at least one in our library just for looking up commands and features not commonly used, to refresh our memory.  For that, they were a good investment, even as new features are being added all the time.

There is also a wealth of knowledge on YouTube, but that tends to be in more bite sized morsels based on specific commands or workflows.

Hopefully others here have more advice on this as well.  Good luck!

Nowadays, The Inventor help site is my textbook.
In my experience, the books will give you a very simple description of the tools (nowadays even if you rest the cursor above a tool, it will give you a pop up with info about that tool).
The better way to know new processes, advanced workflows etc, is by contacting a good instructor and get help (consulting or training) to improve the company workflows.

As far as a manual/book, it's been a while since I looked at the available books, but the Essentials Plus book has always been good.

This intro book might be a good too, if you are looking for something on the beginner end of things:

(note I have no affiliation with either book)

I'm a fan of this site:

I won't recommend a book to you because I don't know the literature in your language. I think that books are great for gaining confidence, because they usually have many good examples, but for obvious reasons they are not able to exhaust the topic.

YT is full of tutorials, but they have another drawback - they are selective and depend mainly on the author's willingness. There are many things you won't find there, and others are repeated many times. You can also see my channel.
