and when you are done select on the top right of the ribbon Finish sketch. us the trimming tool to cut out the un wanted line and other parts of circle etc. When you are done with the dimensions you need to clean your shape and make all the lines connected other wise you will face problems while extruding. To draw different shapes like square and other things you can locate them on the ribbon, there are more shapes un the shape drop down. select your second circle then the dimension will appear and you can specify the exact spacing between objects, not to mention that you can make dimension depend on each other by selecting other dimension will setting the new on.

select the dimensions tool from the sketch ribbonģ. select the second circle this will make it the same size of the defined circleġ.select the first circle with defined dimensions.To make shapes equal each other without the need to do the dimensions all over again. you can directly specify its dimension as you draw it work area shows up with an origin pointĢ. your sketch will show on the object time lineģ. like shapes, editing tools, constrain tools, etc.Ģ. Once the sketch program starts the sketch the ribbon will change to sketch tab showing you all the tools you will need for sketch,ġ. so select sketch then select the plane you want to sketch on Now as I said previously in order to make an object every thing starts with a sketch. top ribbon bar is for the design toolsġst thing to do is give you shape a name to avoid mixing up files with the same name Then thing I need to tell you all about that theġ. and get it ready for 3D Printing.Īs I started the Autodesk Inventor, On the home screen, I have to choose a part or an assembly, what I need to build right now is a part.

Its time to design our filament spool holder. I roughly Sketched The Design And Took the Measurements on a paper, if you don’t want to see the steps on the page and want to watch the video of me designing the object please Click Here I started with Autodesk Inventor and also created a video of me doing the design while explaining. I have started modeling a spool holder for my Tronxy 3D printer, To limit the usage space from the previous one.

Autodesk Inventor has both 3d and 2d designing, How Ever I will be using it here for 3D designing.
