SPRINGVILLE, CA, July 8, 2015 – TEDCF Publishing, an Autodesk authorized developer and producer of interactive, multimedia training courses, today announces the availability of Autodesk Inventor 2016: Solid Modeling.

Solid Modeling is an interactive Inventor 2016 training course containing over 10 hours of video instruction. It also comes with model and Excel files as well as other documentation needed to complete the lessons.

It’s the cornerstone of 9 courses that will be released this year, since it’s the first course in the series. The focus of the training course is streamlining the construction of single part models using best practices. It starts with the basics, and builds to an advanced level, laying the groundwork for the rest of the courses.

It’s designed to teach both beginners and advanced users. Each step of every task is shown in detail so that beginners can learn how to perform the task, and advanced users can improve their technique.

“As a returning customer, I can say this is definitely one of the best instruction tools on the market,” said Curtis Bussey, engineer. “Anyone needing to learn Inventor from scratch, or brush up on their skills would benefit from this course.”

The course layout is also designed to progressively build a strong foundation of skills. The tasks performed in earlier lessons are used to teach more advanced topics in subsequent lessons. So users are familiar with models used in advanced lessons because they’ve already worked with them in earlier lessons. This helps the student improve their focus on new topics, and it helps speed the learning process.

The Solid Modeling course is available as a direct download from TEDCF Publishing’s website or through the TEDCF Streaming Video Service. A USB version of the course is also available August 31.

The Lesson Player has several customizable features designed to meet user needs. Users can slow down or speed up the video playback rate, which allows the user to learn at their own pace. When the user closes the Lesson Player it will automatically open to the same place in the course, so bookmarking is automatic. Hotkeys are available to pause, play, review, and proceed to the next lesson, and it has a search engine that helps users quickly find lessons.

Attributes of the course include:

• Adjustable playback speed – learn at your own pace.
• All lessons in both Metric & English.
• Progressive layout – step-­by­-step training begins with basic concepts and progressively builds to advanced skills.
• Simplified learning format – users benefit from thorough explanations that cover all the steps.
