Assembly Drawings in Inventor

1
Assembly Drawingsin Inventor

• Lesson 12, Part 1
• Detail Parts

2
Inventor Assembly

• Bi-Directional Full Associative Functionality
• Direct Adaptive Assembly

3
Assembly Approaches

• Bottom Up Parts already created (as we will do
  in this lesson)
• Top Down Define the Assembly First and then
  Work on Parts
• Middle Out Some parts defined, others added as
  work progresses (Spring Quarter Design-Build)

4
Inventor Lesson 12

• Create individual parts first, make detail layout
  (this presentation)
• Then do the Assembly (future presentation)
• Use Place Constraints Mate, Angle, Tangent,
  Insert
• Use Base-Plate as "Base" component
• Add Bearing Use "Mate" Twice
• Add Collar Use "Insert"
• Add 2 Cap Screws Use ???

5
Creating Parts

• Know Where Origin is

Y
Origin
X
Z
6
Base-Plate Creation

• Use XY as the sketch plane
• Put Origin at the Middle of the Bottom Surface

Assignment

• Base Plate (This is "Detail 1" that you create)
• Follow hints given in this presentation
• Is Origin in Bottom Center?
• Collar (This is "Detail 2" that you create)
• Is Origin in Bottom Center?

15
Save These Detail Parts

• We will do the assembly drawing in Inventor soon
  consisting of the Base Plate, the Collar, the
  Bearing, and the Cap Screws
• In the next few days, there will be additional
  lecture(s) on Assembly
• Make a layout drawing of each detail part using
  the "default" drawing titleblock. Turn in layout
  drawing, not solid model drawing.

Other Needed Parts

• Bearing (Provided - available on H drive)
• Put Origin in the Middle of the Bottom Surface
• Draw Base on YZ Plane and Extrude Up
• Cap-Screws (Provided - available on H drive)
• Need Constraints to Construct Arc for Screw Head
