Re: Teaching Newbies Inventor

We have mentors associated with Autodesk (so it was easier), but here is what we did:

We made a pitch to Autodesk for both more mentors and for Inventor training. We brought the robot, etc.

They let their company "professional CAD trainer" person lead a few of our design team meetings. It was a really good intro to CAD. To share the wealth, we invited a few other teams.

Not too hard, and a great intro to CAD by someone who does this for a living.
