When I was learning Inventor, the forums came in clutch for all of my learning questions. This is where all of the true experts hang out and can help you along with any of your learning questions. I had to use the forum to troubleshoot problems in my installation process as well as to find out how to do many things in the design process. If you’ve got an Inventor question, this is the place to ask it.

If you’re reading this, you likely already know what the Inventor Blog is. When we’re not posting about fun new technologies or all the Inventor Resources, we’ll bring you tips and tricks along with what’s new as updates come along. If you want longer form written content that often pertains to Inventor, this is the place to be.

Even if you were lucky enough to make it out to Autodesk University last year or plan on going this year, you can’t practically make it to every class you want to. Lucky for you, almost every single Autodesk University class is cataloged online available for your viewing pleasure. While many of these classes may not cut right to the answer you are looking for, they can be a great way to learn about new things in more of an online classroom setting.

The Autodesk Design Academy provides you with tutorials and resources tailored to your specific skill level. All of the information is laid out by task in easy to find menus. This resource will allow you to quickly and simply learn new design tools and methods from Autodesk themselves.
