Sorry for taking a while to reply. I don't have a good answer to your question. Of course you could learn the same way that everyone else does, but it would be a waste of time to go through tutorials or a book since you already know the concepts.

My one suggestion is to use Inventor Help (help menu). The help system is really extensive; it has an explanation of the concept, workflow, and options for every single tool. If you know the term for the function you're looking for, you can use the index or search to find it.
