Rectangles
Drawing Lines
A line is defined as the shortest distance between two points. You can draw the lines using the following methods:
Drawing the Lines by Picking the Points on the Screen Drawing the Lines by Specifying the Exact Values
Drawing Circles
You can draw the circle using the two methods specified below:
Drawing a Circle by Specifying the Center Point and the Radius of the Circle Drawing Circles Using Three Tangent Lines
Circle drawn using the center point and the radius of the circle
Drawing Ellipses
An ellipse can be drawn by specifying the center of the ellipse, a point on the first axis of the ellipse, and a point on the ellipse.
Drawing Arcs
You can draw an arc using the following three methods :
Drawing an Arc Using Three Points Drawing an Arc Tangent to an Existing Entity
Drawing an Arc Using the Center point, Start point, and the Endpoint of the Arc
Drawing Rectangles
You can draw a rectangle using the following two methods :
Drawing Rectangles Using the Two Opposite Corners Drawing Rectangles Using Three Points on a Rectangle
Drawing Polygons
A regular polygon is a multisided geometric figure in which the length of all sides and the angle between them are the same.
Creating Fillets
Filleting is defined as the process of rounding the sharp corners and sharp edges of models.

Tutorial 1
In this tutorial you will draw the sketch for the model shown in Figure A. The sketch is shown in Figure B. Do not dimension the sketch as the dimensions are just for reference. (Expected time: 30 min)
1. 2.
Start Autodesk Inventor and open a new part file, Figure C. Choose Line from the Sketch panel bar and draw the sketch by entering the following points in the Precise Input toolbar. Point (X,Y) 1 Coordinates 0,0

The final sketch after drawing should look similar to the one shown in Figure D.
Exit the sketching environment by choosing the Return button from the Command Bar toolbar. Choose the Save button from the Standard toolbar to display the Save As dialog box. Create a directory with the name c01 inside the PersonalProject directory and save the sketch with the name Tutorial1.ipt. The path for restoring this sketch at a later stage is \PersonalProject\c01\Tutorial1.ipt.

Tutorial 2
In this tutorial you will draw the sketch for the model shown in Figure A. The sketch is shown in Figure B. Do not dimension the sketch. The solid model and dimensions are for reference only. (Expected time: 45 min)
1. 2.
Start Autodesk Inventor and open a new part file. Using the following points create the outer loop.

After you have specified all these points, rightclick to display the shortcut menu. Choose Done to exit line creation. Create the rectangle by specifying the first corner as 15,-10 and the second corner as 30,20 so that the sketch should look similar to the one shown in Figure C . Choose the Return button from the Command Bar toolbar to exit the sketching environment. Save the model with the name given below: \PersonalProject\c01\Tutorial2.ipt

In this tutorial you will draw the sketch for the model shown in Figure A. The sketch is shown in Figure B. Do not dimension the sketch as these dimensions are just for reference. (Expected time: 30 min)
1. 2. 3.
Open a new standard metric template using the Open dialog box. Create the upper arc of the sketch with the center at 0,15, start point as 12,15 and the endpoint as 12,15. Draw a line from the endpoint of the arc. Enter -12,0 as the endpoint of the line. Enter 0,-30 as the second point and 12,0 as the third point in the Precise Input toolbar.
