I like that you still have these videos available, even though you produced them long time ago. You are the best teacher of Inventor in my opinion. I just started back on a job using Inventor, and I forget how to do some of these very important settings. Once I set things where they need to be, I mainly focus on the modeling part. Again, thanks for what you do.
Excellent work Neil. Some people are just born to teach. Entire video was useful and now I've got my Vault up and running in minimal time. I watched a lot of your ads for your efforts - Thanks man.
Nice explanation Neil on the usage of the project file. I like it when your videos are a little longer as it helps to bring the details out for Inventor. Keep up the good work!
Still good for 2022. Thanks.
man i love your tutorials, i´ve learned a lot with them. thanks genius
really helpful-I am sort of self taught, and design my own furniture, and this helps keep some sort of rigour and structure to my infrequent CAD attempts
Man, your material is amazing!!! Thanks sooo much!!
Usually i speed up videos of tutorials because people say so much of nothing... but it's so hard to digest I actually had to slow this down a little just to comprehend all of the wisdom being dropped
Another excellent tutorial. I only need to watch one of your videos to tell me exactly what I need to know compared to several videos from other sources.
Superbly done Neil. . . . . Thanks. . . . . Jim
Nice and clear tutorials. Thank you.
Very nice, detailed explanation. Thank you
Thanks a lot,
I did learn Inventor by myself ( with some of your video of course ;) )
After 6 months of drawing, feels good to see it, gonna work better now
It's like finding the heaven ;)

Thank You! Very helpful video!!!
I found it! thank you very much for the great tutorial :)
excellent explanation, and humor
Hi Neil, if I have not set the project options correctly, how can I go back in and edit them? In particular, if I want to add a library to use a common "base" part.
Great Video.. A question if I may. When you create a new project would you have to change the path of the Content Center Files to the network path and create manually this directory always?
Thanks for the excellent video. Have one question - what is purpose of the Workgroup Search Paths? At 11:00 you briefly hover over the path but move on. It seems to be self-explanatory, but is it good to use or leave it alone? - Thanks
I have been trying to model a "wood stove wire cad model handle" as a spring for a bike in Inventor 2017. Can you help me with this?
Great video explaining the ins & outs of how to use Projects clearly. One
comment, slow down just a bit with your cursor movements. Tuff to follow rapid
movements. NB, CA
Hi i have just started a new job, for a small company, im been using inventor for about a year so am intermediate user..
the last place I worked was i big company so we used multiple projects etc.. what i am struggling with is where to set up my project.?
We have a drive at the company where all the different jobs are kept, i intend to use one inventor project across all the jobs as they are small jobs etc
I don’t have the option for vault, i also want to be able to work from home at times and won’t be able to log in remotely to the office drive
So where do i set up my project? On my C drive or the office drive? And how do i path each job to their different job folders?
Thanks in advance, your videos are saving my life right now, this job is a real challenge and im on my own
If a user were to create a large library of files and divide each project with its own .ipj. Do you see a problem later on creating and using an .ipj file specific to a group of folders, equipment, class, etc; for other users not directly involved in the creation of said library?
Hi Neil can you do a tutorial explaining the correct method to make a assembly which uses the first component as the basis for creating all the other components in the assembly area is this possible , for example say if I wanted to draw and assemble a simple box and add a lid ,I have been doing it but I seem to making a right old faff of it , or should I be modeling each component and as a ipt and then starting a assembly and add them that way , I'm also a bit confused as to how you would describe this method is it top down or bottom up or my complete balls up . cheers Robb
+robert barrrett I kinda already have I think, try watching this one if you can cope with the awful music in the background ruclips.net/video/_KHIM4MY6aw/видео.html I really do apologise for the music, it's just hit me now how horrendous of an idea that was!
My niece applies the word ledge when I do something that she thinks is really cool . Well Neil your now a ledge . Thanks so much .Robb
wow ,how good was that ,I would never have worked that out . now it works perfectly now , you have just saved me sooo much head scratching Inventor is now doing what I want it to do ,one last question can I drive constraints in the assembly cheers Neil for invaluable help Robb
+robert barrrett No probs :) Yea you can drive constraints, when you convert the part to an assembly all the parts will be grounded with no constraints... you'll need to unground them and then create the constraints which can then be driven how you want
Perfect thanks so much I will leave you to get on with your evening now .cheers Robb
Another great video. Thanks Neil. One question - is it possible to save a generic projects 'template' so that every time you go to set up a new project, the things that you might want to standardize across all your work such as styles, libraries, standards etc. can be quickly set? Thanks again for sharing you knowledge!
Thanks man :) The only way to do that is to input those standarized paths into the application options > file tab, and then use [Default] as the setting in the project file. You can then export/import the applications option across all workstations. That's the only real way to do it that I know of!
ESSAY WARNING... ! :)....
Ok. Cheers Neil. Think I get that. I'll look into that when I get to it as quite, in fact very, new to Inventor!...
(I'm just trying to learn from the word GO the best workflows and methods as - although am coming from a pretty competent 2D & 3D AutoCAD + not too shabby Solidworks background - I want to start using Inventor and have some real word projects (furniture) that I'd like to use to learn on the job so to speak! :/
I was wondering in that vein of one possible video request if it’s OK to ask - and apologies as know you will have covered many of these topics already is - so feel free to tell me where to go! But...
... a video that is almost a check list of things to know about and set in place before diving into complex(ish) work in Inventor. Not so much the excellent details of your other vids but more like a check list of things / terms to know about. Some of these terms / subjects I will know about as a newbie, but others I may not even know to 'Google' if you get my drift. So thinking along the lines of.. ‘Hey! First set up Templates, then Styles, then know about Projects, this is Vault but you may not want to use it because of xyz, etc. ect.’, might also be cool to go into interface customisation like keyboard shortcuts (use these all the time in AutoCAD). Obvs not going into the detail of your other very informative videos but more ‘hey do this, then this and then this… before doing this!!’
Also going to push my luck here now as well while I’m writing an essay! Would be AWSOME to see in You Tube an almost 'showing off' video of what Inventor can do, maybe using some typical workflows (and more fancy workflows perhaps) showing all the party tricks of the program. Again a ‘wet the appetite’ of things that can be done but again a newbie might not know about. Most intro vids I have come across on You Tube are either quite slow tutorials showing how to model a simple 3d part, or too general (such as Autodesk promo type vids). Basically a vid where one can go after - 'that looks awesome - I want to learn how to do that!!'
Cheers and over an out! 😊
I don't know, Inventor seems to make things so complicated. In solidworks you just save your files where you want and that's it. I have used 5 cad systems and this this is the only one that I dislike, but I have to use it for work, I hope I get my heard around it or I will be sacked.
surprisingly basic stuff. You didn't touch on moving a project. Strikes me as an obvious thing to cover in this video.
