Inventor AutoCAD Autodesk Inventor is “dimension-

driven design” AutoCAD is “geometry-driven design”

Autodesk Inventor is a feature-based

modeler AutoCAD uses the command line

Autodesk Inventor supports adaptivity

Autodesk Inventor doesn’t use layers AutoCAD is characterized by using

layers

Autodesk Inventor was built

specifically for the manufacturing

industry

AutoCAD was bulit for everyone

In AutoCAD, We create our geometry and then place our dimensions. If

we make changes to the existing geometry, the associated dimensions

update. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could change the value of the

dimension and drive the shape and size of the part?

In Autodesk, You roughly sketch the part you want to create, and then

you control the exact size and shape of the part with dimensions.

Imagine how easy it would be to make changes to your part later by

simply changing the dimension values.

Why does Autodesk Inventor work this way and AutoCAD does not?

Autodesk Inventor has the added intelligence of being a parametric

modeler.

Modelador Paramétrico

Un modelador paramétrico permite modelar la geometría, dimensión y

material de manera que si se alteran las dimensiones, la geometría

actualiza automáticamente basándose en las nuevas dimensiones.

Esto permite que el diseñador almacene sus conocimientos de cálculo

dentro del modelo, a diferencia del modelado no paramétrico, que está

más relacionado con un “tablero de bocetos digitales”.

Modelador Paramétrico

As you create your 3D parts, each extrusion,

hole, chamfer, fillet, and so forth, is stored as an

independent feature in the Autodesk Inventor

browser. This makes it extremely easy to make

changes down the road. If you decide that hole

should have been 10 mm instead of 12 mm, it’s

not a problem to make the change.

In AutoCAD we often find ourselves deleting

and re-creating a specific feature. Such changes

in Autodesk Inventor are as easy as changing

the dimension value.

Modelador basado en Funciones

One of the features that separates Autodesk Inventor from other 3D

modelers is the ability to create adaptive parts. These smart parts

maintain a physical relationship so that if you modify the geometry of

the base part, the adaptive geometry knows to update as well. This

could be as simple as creating a hole that adapts to the size of a rod.

As you change the size of the rod, the hole gets larger or smaller to

accommodate the new diameter of the rod.
