Autodesk Inventor Tutorial #13: How to Apply General Dimensions in 2D Sketches

In this tutorial, we explore how to apply general dimensions in Autodesk Inventor during 2D sketching. You'll learn how to dimension lines (vertical, horizontal, and angled), arcs, and circles accurately, and how to fully define your sketch using the Dimension tool (shortcut: D). We demonstrate how to control length, angle, position, and more, ensuring your geometry is precise and ready for 3D modeling.

This video covers:

Creating lines, arcs, and circles in a 2D sketch
Using the General Dimension tool
Techniques for dimensioning angled lines
Defining arcs by diameter and position
Fully constraining sketches
Editing and repositioning dimensions
Tips for avoiding over-constrained sketches
Transitioning from sketch to 3D using the Extrude feature

Whether you're new to Inventor or looking to improve your sketching workflow, this video will help you gain confidence in dimensioning your designs effectively.
