Working with Multiple Parts in an Assembly

The Drawing Is Automatically Updated

Autodesk Inventor always maintains full associativity

between the model and the drawings. Since you have

modified the model, the drawing automatically

reflects those changes. This helps you avoid errors

that would otherwise cost you time and money.

To review and save the updated drawing:

1. From the Window menu, choose Clamp_top.idw.

The drawing now shows the modified status of the

model.

2. Save and then Close the drawing.

Working with Multiple Parts in an Assembly

Until now, you have been working primarily with one part, the

upper half of the clamp, in the context of an assembly file. Next,

you will create the lower portion of the clamp, which consists of

several welded components.

When you are finished, your final welded assembly should look

like the image to the right.

Creating a Welded Assembly

Since the welded assembly will be a component, or subassembly,

within the main assembly, you must switch to the assembly

window and then make the main assembly active.

1. From the Window menu, choose Clamp_complete.iam.

2. At the top of the Browser, double-click Clamp_complete.iam.
