Good Youtuber /Course/Website for inventor

[jeffreyVR4JW]

Hi everyone,

Does anyone have any recommendations of good youtubers/ courses to watch for Inventor? Preferebably, the youtuber/course use or teach good practices. I have been using inventor for 2 years. I am decent at sketching, part modelling, and surface modelling.

If there are any website good website for learning inventor, can you provide the link?

Also, do you have any recommendations to make my learning process fasters?

Thanks!!!! 🙂

Some resources that come to mind:
The "learn" link at the top of this forum:
https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/inventor/learn?sort=score

The tutorials on the customer success learning hub:
https://customersuccess.autodesk.com/

And the youtube channels of these 2 highly respected Expert Elites:
@JDMather  : https://www.youtube.com/c/TheCADWhisperer/videos
@Neil_Cross : https://www.youtube.com/c/tficadtips

There are probably more resources out there, just googling or searching on youtube itself should give plenty of results.

Thanks for the plug @-niels- 

After using Inventor for 2 years someone could be actually quite proficient at it depending on how much involvement they've had and variety over that time.  So it might be a good idea to be a bit more specific on exactly which areas you're hoping to improve on?

I've done well over 350 videos on Inventor, some are full tutorials, some are point niche tips, so feel free to have a poke around the back catalogue.  But it's worth bearing in mind that once someone has grasped the basic concepts of sketching, constraining, drawing creation etc it's almost impossible to put together a single piece of universal learning material as following on from the general 'golden rule' basics almost everyone tends to want to go down different paths.

Hi @Neil_Cross ,

I should probably give some background information about myself. I am on a robotics team, so much of the work I will be doing will be 3d modelling, sketching, assembly, presentation(blown up view of the robot), and a way to animate robot (I am in the middle of a inventor studio tutorial series on youtube.) These would be the best for me to become better at. However, thing 3d modelling we need to make is very basic and only take a 1-2 hours to get a prototype out. Because of this, I decided that I wanted to touch on new subjects in inventor for fun.

Since I have more time during quarantine, I have watched 50 hours of content ( 2x speed, so I spent 25 hours) in the last 30 days. The biggest things I was able to retain was basic concepts of surface modelling(still cannot really visualize making complex part with this), a few sketching tips, and maybe some cool 3d modelling feature. I also am watching tutorials on assembly, drawing, ipart(just a little), and inventor studio.

Do you have any recommendations on what I should focus on?

Also, do you have a recommendation on playlists or classes online?

Thanks so much!!

P.S. Your youtube channel, TFI, was what got me serious about CAD. Haven't watched one of your videos for a while, but I'm planning on finishing most/ all of it in the future.
