Join Jana Schmidt for an in-depth discussion in this video Next steps, part of Autodesk Inventor: Product Design Workflow.
- As a final step, I wanted to say thank you…for joining me on this fun project design opportunity,…and I wanted to show you a couple of resources…that you could take a look at…if you're interested in not only finding…a little bit more about Inventor,…but maybe also product design.…One of the user groups that's very popular on LinkedIn…is the Autodesk Inventor Users.…You can see it's over 12,000 members at this time,…so you might consider as you move more into…utilizing this software,…consider joining that group for support…from fellow colleagues.…
Another blog that might be good for…technical type of support is Being Inventive.…This is a blog maintained by the…Inventor product support group at Autodesk,…so plenty of expertise there to learn from.…And then of course on YouTube there's tons of…on the actual Autodesk Inventor channel,…tons of resources and certainly several…educactional type videos as well…so take a look at those.…On the product design side,…of course there are so many,…just a plethora of assets and resources to look at…
