This is by far the best tutorial bar none! I have attended classes run by ‘Autodesk Trained Professionals’ and they have come no where close. I have also purchased other tutorials for Solids Works, KeyCreator and ProE. Your method and ability to simplify the learning process makes me feel as if I am working within a live session. Congratulation on this achievement!
Jeffrey Swain - Massachusetts
I found this tutorial to be an incredible help from the moment I opened the first lesson. Questions that I previously had from reading other lesson manuals were answered in detail with a basic understanding of why I would use that particular discipline. I highly recommend this product to strengthen any knowledge you are looking for whether just starting or already have a design base.

I am completely satisfied with this course and my purchase, despite having only finished (1) of the (4) CDs in the course. The style and speed of the courses are just right for me and I'm glad to for once see a training where my screen actually resembles the one shown in the video. This is really based on 2009 and all topics are covered in the appropriate amount of detail, leaving the user to break off and investigate a particular topic further if they so choose.
Great work folks.

I purchased your Inventor 2009 Routed Systems Suite a few weeks ago and have completed about ½ of the first course, Solid Modeling (time constraints).
This is the best self-training I’ve ever used, and more so considering the cost. I feel much more comfortable with my new copy of Routed Systems and can’t wait to dig in to some delayed projects. I’ve found the training easy to follow while maintaining a high level of progress. You explain something and then expect that this concept is understood for the next lesson, a welcome change from ‘repeat until submission’ trainings I’ve seen. I am looking forward to the rest of the courses and would happily recommend them for anyone new to Inventor. My last real experience with solid modeling was in 2002 running Ideas Master Series on a shared VAX, so this is a great upgrade.
Anyhow, I am very pleased with my purchase and just wanted to let you know.

it is very good course and I like it.

I ordered an Autodesk Inventor 2008 deluxe training bundle from you back in June of this year.
Thank you for your prompt response. I find these concise audible training tutorials the optimum method of learning for myself, bite size information being easy to retain, compared to useless day long high speed training courses.
Despite my increased learning curve, my probationary period on Inventor 2008 at my new company was deemed to be unsuccessful so i am currently unable to use these tutorials in tandem with daily Inventor 2008 usage.
I am spreading the news of these training bundles to anyone interested, even the manager who sent me "down the road", and i am sure they will come in useful in the near future when i secure a new contract.

I would just like to tell you how much I have really appreciated the Inventor Training Course... I just got through going through the TEDCF 4 part program for the second time after a near two year hiatus from using inventor... this second time through was an absolute breeze and pleasure to do in order to sharpen and refresh my skills with the tool, and I also picked up some subtle nuances that I think I missed the first time through...
You have done a great job and I have highly recommended your program to anyone that I have encountered over the last coupe of years who have asked me, first what program I had used to create my drawings and, secondly to counter their perception that Inventor has such a steep learning curve and telling them that TEDCF really flattened the curve and got me up and running overnight.
In the past I had read many books on Inventor but never could figure out from the descriptions exactly how to perform a number of the described operations, and had previously resolved that if I had wanted to ever become highly proficient that I would need to enroll and take a course somewhere... Your CBT completely changed that notion, and in fact I have found it more effective as it is almost like getting one-on-one instruction.
There is one wish that I have, and that is that I really wish that you had a course in AutoCAD as well! I am not sure how many times that you may have seen this request, but just add mine to it!
Thanks again, I have really enjoyed the ease of becoming an expert with Inventor!
OK... Best of luck with your new release and keep up the good work!

Very good and all I can say is Excellent tutorial
Ben Jones - Drafter - QLD, Australia
Generally very simple and easy to follow, only a couple of things didn't work for me (I couldn't get the splines phone to work properly, and the igs files weren't on the disc). Splines one made sense though, as it only went to prove that the other approach was much more predictable (which I think was the intention anyway!). All in all, I would absolutely recommend it to anyone who needs to speed up how they use inventor (or just has no clue how to use it). Worth every cent.

I just wanted to write you to let you know how great the TEDCF tutorial is for Autodesk Inventor. There is so much information on the 4 discs that I have only recently completed the first one. I have to review it a little at a time - the summers is a very busy work schedule. I am still hoping to start doing drafting for mechanical pump rooms, boilers and chillers. Most of the drawings are done in 2-D, so I'm trying to select all of the material that will be most helpful to me. (Any suggestions?) I also agree with many who say that Inventor is 10 times better than autocad. (I was just a beginner in autocad.) Also, please keep me posted as to the release of your tube and pipe tutorial.

I like the way this training takes you step by step. It is very easy to follow and very informative.
Vincent Mannuzza - Owner - Operator Industrial CAD Drafting
As stated in my last comment, I believe it would be beneficial to incorporate a Bookmark feature on the interface so a specific topic in a specific lesson can be easier to access without having to search through an entire lesson. The system that is in operation now can become monotonous at times.
The relocation of the Play, Pause button can be moved to another place on the screen to avoid clicking the Next or Back button.
I have noticed that the procedures demonstrated do not coincide with the narration on some of the lessons. More stringent review is necessary before release.
Some of the topics are stretched out illustrating the wrong way to perform a simple task before showing the most efficient manner in which to complete the application, this is a waste of valuable time which can be utilized to demonstrate more pertinent functions.
All in all, not bad but the Bookmark button can be a boon.
Glenn Stone - Taradale, Australia
By far the most useful form of Inventor training I have encountered - thanks TEDCF!
Vincent Mannuzza - Owner - Operator Industrial CAD Drafting
I feel that it would be very helpful if you can introduce a Bookmarks feature in the tutorial interface. By doing this, a user can mark a specific segment of a lesson as a reference without having to recall the exact lesson on the CD. I have seen this application on other tutorials and it is a tremendous time saver.

Great lesson a lot of different concepts. great job!!!
Barry Weber - Mechanical Designer - California
I bought the 4 CD Accelerated Productivity suite for Inventor 2008. My peers at work thought I was wasting my money and instead opted for taking classes at the local training center. In two weeks I have already established our templates and generated a complex, parameter driven machine with all of the fabrication drawings using Inventor. Mt boss is quite pleased with my productivity and my collegues are still spending their evenings in class, barlely able to make a simple 3D model. This was the best investment I've made in years!
Richard Hamlin - RDH Design & Detail, LLC - Ohio
I have now completed the 2nd out of four training CDs and I am still impressed with the quality of this training.
Good job writing lessons!
Thanks
Laurie A. McGaw - McGaw CAD Services - California
I have learned solid (no pun intended) skills in model making. I especially appreciated the emphasis on the FIX command to ensure that the model is properly grounded and constrained. I look forward to more great instruction as I progress through the CDs. Thanks.
Rick Hendrix - Owner - Conceptual Designs LLC
My friend, an engineering manager, spent thousands on Inventor classes for his engineers. He recommended the TEDCF course on CD to me. For less cost you schedule your study, move at your own pace, and review as needed. I highly recommend it!
Richard Hamlin - President - RDH Design & Detail, LLC - Ohio
I am very impressed with this course. It is alot easier to buy, and take this course, then to hunt & peck to refresh my memory in Inventor 11.
Keep up the good work & I look forward to completing the other 3 CD courses I purchased.
Thank-you again.
Robert Brasfield - Mechanical Engineer - Tennessee
My course was for Inventor 11. I discovered the course on
Amazon.com while looking for a book on Inventor Drafting.
I enjoyed the course, as it is much better than a book. I have not taken the other courses, but am eager to do so. Many tips were covered in the drafting that I had struggled
to understand on my own. I expect the same improvement in
my skills with the other courses.
Ludo Van Reet
Very Complete,this cd covers all the features with each option described.
Perhaps a few more practicale examples would be usefull.
tony peach - Terratec Asia Pacific
Exellent express way to come up to speed on the 2D features.
Jerry Eddis - Engineer - New Jersey
I thought it was a very informative course. This is a great way for me to get the training I need and not have to waste time driving back and forth to class. It's also nice to have the CD to use as a reference.
john marcus - CEO - PTC - California
Thought it was very worth while...much better than reading a book.
Suggestion. add a speed control to the presentation to allow faster viewing..........
Jerry Eddis - Engineer Tech - New Jersey
I thought this was a great way for me to learn. hands on is the way to go. It's great that I can or go back and review the lessons. I would highly recommend this software for training.
James Scannell - Designer - Michigan
I compiled the TEDCF Inventor 10 solid modeling course and I am glad I have it. I thank it is the best training aid I have ever seen. I will be moving on to one of the other CD's.
Jerry Eddis - Engineer Tech - New Jersey
For me this was a great for me to learn. It's nice that I am able to stop and review my lesson. The only complaint I have is not having enough room on my screen. It's hard to
follow and do the exercise at the same time.
E.V.Garcia - Teacher - Texas
Well organized. Easy to follow. Leason easy to repeat or rewind when needed.
Kraig Stubleski - Manager, Engineering Services - Conforming Matrix Corp. - Ohio
Over all, great introduction. Concise and thourough. I would like to see a "Hot Key" for tutorial pausing so that it would not be necessary to find and click the pause button.
jerry garrett - cad draftsman - alabama
Thanks for improving the navigation tools. Makes it much easier to move around the lesson. You're doing an outstanding job, keep it up.
