The Autodesk® Inventor® 2020:
iLogic guide teaches you how to use the iLogic functionality that exists in
the Autodesk® Inventor® 2020 software. In this
practice-intensive curriculum, you will acquire the knowledge required to use
iLogic to automate Autodesk Inventor designs.
In this guide, you will learn how iLogic functionality
furthers the use of parameters in a model by adding an additional layer of
intelligence. By setting criteria in the form of established rules, you learn
how to capture design intent, enabling you to automate the design workflow to
meet various design scenarios in part, assembly, and drawing files.
Topics Covered
- iLogic
functionality overview.
