Autodesk Inventor

Inventor's Positional Representations can be used to create very complex representations of machinery processes and movement. Inventor R10 has increased these capabilities by introducing the ability to create overlays of the alternate positions in an IDW. The basic principle of PosReps is to create a scenario in the assembly of multiple constraints and / or components whose positional and appearance states have been overridden.

The Ins and Outs of Positional Reps in Autodesk Inventor®


Sean Dotson - RND Automation & Engineering

MA35-1 Mechanical systems often have moving parts, and designers and engineers need to show these
machines in multiple positions. With Autodesk Inventor's positional representations, your assemblies
can be illustrated in multiple, predefined positions. In this session, learn how these positional
representations can be used to create very complex representations of machinery processes and
movement. Then learn how these assemblies can be shown in a drawing with overlays to illustrate the
range of motion of the model.
