Designing iParts in Autodesk Inventor Part I

By John Koop, TEDCF Publishing

This is the first in a series of Tips that shows you the iPart process. In this Tip, we will go through the first few steps of iPart design. We will set the Custom Parameters, build the part and then set the part Material. In the next Tip we will set up the iPart Table.
