Making a Virtual Drawing With Software

This is for beginners (otherwise more attention to detail would have been incorporated).

I am using the example of a Wheels Base Plate.

Begin by loading up your Inventor Software.

In the "Get Started" tab, Select New.

Under Templates, Select English, and then under Drawing, "ANSI (in).dwg will be the drawing file to select. When selected, click Create to establish.

Under Drawing 1, right click on Sheet:1 to then click "Edit Sheet".

In the new window, under Size will be a drop down box where you will select size B rather than D. Select OK when done.

Under Place Views tab, select Base to choose the previously modeled part you wish to model.

Select "open an existing file", select your desired file, and click Open.

Scale the part to better fit the page (while keeping in mind that you will need additional space for three additional views).

Click and drag the object to its first position (being a frontal view).

Glide your cursor from the object over and click to establish its additional side view.

Again, glide cursor from the first view up and and then click to establish that view (Top view).

For this last view (isometric view), glide your cursor between your two other views and click to finalize.

Press OK on the open window and finalize all views.

Right click on the isometric view drawing view and and click edit view.

Under the Style section, select the shaded button command, and then click OK.

Under the Annotate tab, Select Text command.

Move your cursor down to the title box in the bottom right and click to prompt text box.

Type in the title you want that pertains to the part you're modeling and then select OK.

*Keep in mind that you can also add an additional text box explaining your organization and/or your name in the box above the title box.

Under the File tab, save the drawing to desired place.

For the purpose of sharing this work virtually, under the File tab, select Export, and then PDF. Select save in the promoting window do desired location.
