There probably are some out there, but for books, you will have to pay a lot. Computer books aren't cheep. Especially the good ones. My advice, practice on your own and experiment with features and see what things do. That is how I learned Inventor. I honestly can't say how I learned Inventor to begin with. Maybe I forgot, but I knew I knew Inventor to some extent and just started doing the Inventor model for this year and learned along the way. Apparently I knew the basics and just tried stuff. Maybe someone showed me a long time ago and I remembered some, but If you know the basics, then just try stuff and post here with a problem.

For online tutorials, I tied to find stuff on how to do springs, but all I came up with was spring plugins and commercial tutorial stuff. You'll be hard pressed to find something good.

Hey! Maybe that can be incorporated into one of the CAD sites that people are trying to put together! I was working on a power point stuff to teach the basics. I am suppose to give it to one of my teachers to teach his freshmen classes, but I haven't finished the screen shots yet. Maybe someone could bounce off of them when they are done. If ever...

But, yeah, if someone knows of a good tutorial, I would be interested, too. I think I know a good deal, but I probably don't.
