This past year at Autodesk University I conducted a class on Sketched Symbols and their use with Inventor Drawings involving creation, use, and administration. Here is a short preview of one of my favorite tips in the class.
Class Audience
Any user interested in standardization and custom symbol creation
Class Description
Drawing Manager in Autodesk Inventor has the functionality to create Custom Sketched Symbols to document your designs or standardize your company's notations and standards without the monotony of recreation. This class takes a look at the tools available in the Drawing Manager that are designed to facilitate this need. Learn to create and use custom notations and geometry to communicate your design. Utilize blocks from your AutoCAD® drawings for similar usage with little redesign for use in Inventor. Learn how to organize and update your symbol libraries using Inventor's Drawing Resource Transfer Wizard.
