Autodesk Inventor Suite 2008, DVD, Czech 52712-291462-9470 Benutzerhandbuch

Create a wide range of complex geometries by 
easily combining solids and surfaces. Inventor gives 
users precise control of shape characteristics, such 
as tangency and continuity. Advanced modeling 
tools include Loft to a Point, N-Sided Patch, Sweep 
Normal to Surface, Area Loft, Centerline Loft, G2 
Continuous Fillets, Full Round Fillets, and Face-to-
Face Fillets. 

The Inventor API (application programming 
interface) provides access to the flat pattern 
and punch library data required to build highly 
automated shop floor integration to CNC punch 
machines so users can transfer design data  
directly to manufacturing operations and get 
products into production as quickly as possible.

Reduce programming time by eliminating time 
spent cleaning up DXF files for CNC machining. 
DXF/DWG export for sheet metal provides control 
of preprocessing and postprocessing options such 
as DXF/DWG file version, layer mapping, user-
defined chord length for spline simplification, and 
customization through external XML files.

Create models with high-quality surface character-

istics, and check design data for manufacturability 
to avoid costly changes during manufacturing setup. 

Comprehensive analysis tools for checking geomet-
ric properties of a design are available in both the 
part design and construction environments. Tools 

include the following: 

•  Zebra analysis with density control and enhanced 

display accuracy, providing visual confirmation of 
surface continuity and tangency 

•  Gaussian surface analysis, providing feedback of 

surface curvature

•  Cross section analysis displaying wall thickness 

with color-coded feedback of minimum and 
maximum thickness violations

•  Draft angle analysis displaying color-coded 

draft angle based on a pull direction that can be 
defined by an axis, plane, or planar face

•  Check of minimum distance between two 

components or faces in an assembly
