    1d Software Modeling Introduction


    Introduction
    3D solid modeling is a powerful tool for engineers. It allows an idea to be translated
    into a model that can communicate the concept, adapt to changes, and even create
    a physical model with devices such as a rapid prototyper or a mill.
    In this activity you will learn the basic Autodesk Inventor software user interface
    and file management system. This orientation to the software is important to allow
    efficient modeling of your ideas.
