| Description: |
Relationships are everywhere, from traditional relationships
like family and friends to wildly popular social
networking sites like Facebook and Twitter. But
did you ever think that your AutoCAD objects could
have relationships? Well, they can, and those
relationships can be a powerful tool that can make
you much more productive. This class will introduce
you to parametric drawing in AutoCAD as well as using
both geometric and dimensional constraints to add
intelligence to your objects. If you have ever
wanted geometry in your drawing to update based on
changes that you have made to other objects, then
this class is for you. |

AUGI Instructor |
| Company: |

| Description: |
Derived parts are a powerful but easy-to-use Inventor
tool. They come in two basic flavors: you can derive
one part from another one, or you can derive a part
from an assembly. Using derived parts, you can easily
create machining models and drawings from an as-cast
model, and you can create a mold from the same model.
The mold cavity can be scaled to allow for shrinkage.
Opposite-hand versions can also be created from the
basic part, and from any subsequent derived parts.
If the basic part is changed then everything updates.
What better way to leverage your parts! |

| Description: |
AutoCAD Civil 3D users have access to the powerful
AutoCAD Map 3D tools that can be used during the
early stages of project development. This class will
focus on using Map 3D for aggregating and using data
from external sources like ESRI shapefiles, E00 files
and AutoCAD drawings. Attendees will also learn to
automate the processes of labeling features and creating
thematic maps to display features like Land Use or
Zoning. As you collect data for your project, you
may find that some drawings contain geometric errors
such as duplicate lines, undershoots and overshoots;
this class will demonstrate ways to manage and correct
these issues. Finally, the class will compile a basemap
for use in the next steps of the design process and
explore options for exporting this data to a variety

| Description: |
Run out of nuts and bolts? Welding your components
together may be the answer. Weldments are used to
design and document an assembly that does not contain
traditional fasteners. Emulating the real welding
process, you can add preparatory pre-weld operations,
and post-weld machining operations for finishing
and clean-up. Creating a weldment also enables you
to analyze assemblies as a single unit. You can even
use calculations to determine added mass, welding
time and material costs. Documenting weldment assemblies
requires tools and capabilities that may not be required
by a typical drawing. This session will teach you
how to do this, plus many other useful skills necessary
for a firm foundation in weldment. |

| Description: |
Inventor includes a huge library of stock components
such as gears, bearings and threaded fasteners. But
most companies have a series of component parts that
are unique to their product line, but are used in
various sizes and configurations depending on the
particular model or variant being built. This presentation
will show you how easy it is to set up an iPart factory.
Now your designers will be able to quickly and easily
pick a type of component from your library, and then
specify details such as size and capacity. The iPart
factory can then generate the specific part. iParts
can include iMates, so the iPart components "automatically" attach
themselves properly as they are inserted into an
assembly. Save time by letting the parts essentially
create themselves! |
