Re: Inventor (need help starting)

Basics of all CAD:

If you took something, no matter how complex, and just forced it into a 2d flat image, thats what you need to sketch. Add dimensions and features (extrude, revolve), and voila, you've got your starting point. Then add detail work like more extrusions, cuts, holes, fillets, chamfers, etc.
