How can I make money with Inventor?

[Anonymous]

I'm looking to make some extra money using inventor. Can anyone give my some ideas on how I can use inventor to make money??

If you put a dimension on the drawing and it is not in parenthesis (10.73°) as reference dimension, then it must be inspected.

It is very difficult to measure angles in inspection other than say 10°, 10.5° or 11° half degree increments.  All angles other than 90° are difficult to machine or measure to close tolerance.

An angles of 10.73° and 26.57° are meaningless.

Unnecessary duplication of dimensions (and dimension to hidden lines - I would use Section View).

[JDMather]

Pin location not given and redundant dimension.

@att82glass, who are you looking to do work for?

JD is pointing out issues with the examples you provided.

These are issues most places will not tolerate if they are paying you contract rates.

They are not looking to train you on basic drafting practices.

They might be willing to train you on their in-house standards, but you and your crew need to be very well versed in industry standards to begin with. That's where I would advise you to start.

If you are going to target work in the US, learn ASME standards, Europe, learn ISO standards, etc.

JD pointed out some very basic drafting errors like double dimensioning and over dimensioning (not using Ref dimensions) as well as tolerancing that can't be held in manufacturing processes. These are all things you, as a contractor, should know hands down. Your clients expect that from you.

I haven't looked into any of your modeling techniques yet, I'm sure JD has. Listen to what JD has to say, follow his advice.

As far as I see it, you simply are just not ready to go out on your own just yet. Get the needed experience and expertise under your belt first, then consider going out on your own.

Thank you so much for your help, my team and I will try hard to meet the standards. I also hope you can help our team.

@att82glass, I am an Autodesk Certified Instructor on Inventor and can do online classes.

Send me a private message with specifics of what you want to learn and how many will be in the group.

I can then put together a plan and quote.
