Autodesk Inventor Two Minute Tip: Sketch Blocks 

Always do your 2D sketch clean-ups and prep in AutoCAD. Where possible, use polylines and centre all 2D elements about a logical origin while still in AutoCad. Finally, run PURGE and OVERKILL in AutoCad to eliminate overlapping elements as Inventor makes doing these tasks a thorough pain in the you-know-what.

Great video, hopefully you can make a video on how to make an assembly of this cw, with parts tag and tables.. 👍👍👍

Thanks Rob, great tip! I'll be looking (hopefully soon) at what this does to part list capabilites and our need to tool individual extrusions included in the block. Perhaps we'll need to make each shape it's own block but that still beats re-drawing each one or trying to constrain every line and arc. I really appreciate that you're spending some quality time on this industry... the car seat data set is getting way overused and if I see the kitchen vent demo again I going to stop cooking.

You could absolutely use these blocks for individual features. This isn't a great example of that but say this was not an extrusion but machined (and smaller obviously). I would create a solid out of the whole profile, share the sketch then use the hole feature to drill out the holes, extrude cut to remove the void, etc... What you didn't like my kitchen hood.... [grin]

Needs more videos :D

Could you please explain, how you made the dynamic sketch so the you can move the point and line and everything updates? Thank you

Rob cohee on sketch block

Nice Video I would like to have this Assembly. Ist that posible? I would like to taste it and lern how did u do that

what labs website are you refering to?

Hello..i want to ask if you could please make a tutorial from zero about how to reach this level of curtain wall assembly and work with it as a parametric

Could you link to this file as an example?
