SPRINGVILLE, CA, June 12, 2015 – TEDCF Publishing, an Autodesk authorized developer and producer of interactive, multimedia training courses, announces the availability of Autodesk Inventor Online Training.

The purpose of this training is to provide a true understanding of how Inventor works and how to use it. It describes what the commands are, what they do, and how to use them effectively. Users learn step-by-step as the courses explain each process and the logic behind them. This allows new users to gain the essentials they need, while experienced users refine their skills and stay up-to-date on the latest commands.

Consisting of 225 hours of instruction, the online training covers Inventor 2011 through the current version. There are thousands of lessons to choose from, and 4 times as many topics. So users can rest assured they’re not missing any details.

The Inventor Online Training teaches best practices in numerous areas. It covers everything from basic modeling and assembly construction, to 2D drawings, sheet metal parts, tube and pipe routing, and creating animations. Even complex ideas such as programming with iLogic and simulation testing are explained in-depth.

After taking the FEA Made Simple course, users become more confident about their work with Inventor Simulation. The instructor breaks down all the details about the data input into simulations, the operations applied to the data, and how simulation settings affect the quality of the results. The course doesn’t teach heavy mathematical concepts, it teaches simple methods of confirming the simulations. This gives users the ability to check the functionality of their product designs more efficiently.

“TEDCF Publishing has always done an exceptional job of creating training courses for our Inventor customers,” said Silvio Guido, senior manager, ADN Americas for Autodesk. “Its Inventor Certified courses are accessible from the Inventor interface and they are an excellent training and reference tool. Making the courses accessible on mobile devices also gives our customers easy access to the training they need. We are pleased that TEDCF Publishing is keeping up with the latest technology so that our customers can get the most benefit from their training.”

The Inventor Online Training app is free on the Autodesk App Exchange Store. There’s also a 24 hour free trial on TEDCF Publishing’s website.

The lesson player has several customizable features designed to meet user needs. When the user views the Lesson List, the lessons that have already been watched are shown in bold, so bookmarking is automatic. Users can pause, play, and go back to the lesson list, and watch lessons in full-screen. It also has a search engine that helps users quickly find lessons.
