Inventions of 20th Century!

Enjoy this video!!!

More Inventor Pratice!! : D

We did 2 new features so this one is kind of short. But we worked on Driving constrains and Assembling constrains. These are two features that I know that i'll be using my whole year in Inventor. Anyway, first up is Assembling!!! *clap*

So Assembling Constrains can be applied to define how the parts relate to each other. These constraints define the relationship between the geometry of the individual parts.  The key to successfully assembling parts is to fully Constrain a component relative to another by removing its Degrees of Freedom (DOF). There are 6 degrees of freedom: translational freedom (which means moving back and forth) along the X, Y and Z axes, as well as the ability to rotate around the 3 axes (also called rotational freedom).

As you can see here, its looks like I just stacked on the gray block, but I used constrains like angles but put them to 0 in so they look normal.

Next is Driving Constrains, driving constrains are assembly constrains but can produce motion. I'll post a video later on this but for now here's a picture.

Look at the peg or the red knob on top. It's in now...



...POPS right out!!!

This is all I have today. *aww* But I promise to come out with more inventor features and tricks. SEE YA!!
