Inventor Assembly Assignment

Reference Material:

• CAD Tutorials (use the Inventor Assembly Tutorials)

• CAD Templates (including drawing template, which is towards the bottom of the sheet)

Inventor Assembly Lecture topics:

• • Assembly drawings show parts of a machine unit assembled in their relative working positions.

• Accepted practice to be observed on assembly drawings are:

  • Hidden lines and dimensions are usually omitted.

  • Dimensions showing overall size and center-to-center indicating the relationship of parts in the machine as a whole are sometimes given. But detail dimensions are omitted.

  • Numbers located in balloons pointing to the part by a leader identifies parts on an assembly drawing.

  • A Bill of Material or Parts List is a list of parts placed on an assembly drawing above the title block.

    • The bill contains the item number, description name, material, quantity, and number of each item or part.

  • The use of sectioning is very common in assembly drawings to show how parts are positioned.

Inventor Assembly Assignment:

Instructions: Create an Inventor Assembly using the parts you created last week for the Inventor Parts Assignment: The collar, bearing, and base plate. Constrain the three parts together as demonstrated above.

• Fasteners (e.g. screws) are not required for this assignment.

• Create an assembly drawing layout-showing balloons with leaders and a parts list.

• Submit a printed copy of the assembly drawing layout for grading by using the MAE3 Inch_Template.idw border drawing (see reference material above).

  • Your name and section number, drawing title, and date will appear on the drawing.

  • Refer to the title block of the drawing layout of GUIDE BLOCK below as an example.

  • In printing options, please select "Best Fit/Fit to Page."
