AutoCAD 3D Modeling Tutorial #4: Extrude vs. Revolve

In this video tutorial I will take you through each step to create a 3D model of the part shown in AutoCAD using two methods. First I show you how to create it with multiple extrusions. Then I show you how to create it using the Revolve command. If you would like to try this…

Autodesk AutoCAD 3D Modeling Tutorial #3

In this video tutorial, I take you through the creation of another 3D solid part in AutoCAD. I use the Press/Pull command in this one to create the solid shapes, instead of the Extrude command. Press/Pull works faster because you can apply it to several shapes at once, and it will cut holes automatically instead…

Autodesk Fusion 360 Part Modeling Tutorial #3

In this video tutorial, I walk you through the creation of the part shown below using Autodesk Fusion 360. The features used in this tutorial include extrusions, holes, chamfers, and mirror. The video uses one of many workflows that would result in the same part. The detail drawing is available below in case you would…

Autodesk Inventor Part Modeling Tutorial #3

In this video tutorial I will take you through each step to create a 3D model of the part shown in Autodesk Inventor. The following tools are used in this tutorial: Extrude, Hole, Project Geometry, Tangent constraints, Colinear constraints, Chamfer, and Mirror. Each sketch is fully dimensioned and constrained before creating the features. The detail…

The Best Reason to Update to Autodesk Inventor 2023.2

I must admit, I often ignore updates to Autodesk software. I am always reluctant to make changes to the computers in our CAD lab if everything is running smoothly. However, after learning of a new feature in Autodesk Inventor 2023, I had to download and install the latest update immediately! This update actually happened in…

Autodesk AutoCAD 3D Modeling Tutorial #2

In this video tutorial, I take you through the creation of another 3D solid part in AutoCAD. You will learn to sketch each shape, join them into a polyline, then extrude them into solid shapes. Along the way you will learn about rotating the UCS. Finally, you will use the Union and Subtract commands to…

Autodesk Fusion 360 Part Modeling Tutorial #2

In this video tutorial, I walk you through the creation of the part shown below using Autodesk Fusion 360. The features used in this tutorial include extrusions, holes, chamfers, and fillets. The video uses one of many workflows that would result in the same part. The detail drawing of the part is available as a…
