What's New in Autodesk Inventor Professional 2025
In Inventor Professional 2025, Autodesk have looked to improve performance and addressing everyday design challenges. This blog details some of the new features.
Most delegates who have attended the Essentials course consider they have sufficient expertise to do their jobs effectively. This, of course, in most cases, is not an accurate consideration.
Using a “running” analogy, the job of the Essentials AutoCAD training course is to teach delegates how to walk-jog-run.
But if you want to get the job done efficiently, you need to learn to sprint, and this is the aim of the next level of training.
We have trained so many runners to know people are missing out. This is so evident when people attend our refresher (or update) AutoCAD training. They see the trainer do something (which really they should know) and immediately ask the question, “What was that you did? - How long has AutoCAD been able to do that?”. They are shocked and surprised to discover this functionality has been there for years.
The next response is typically, “I wished you shown me that months ago as it normally takes me ages.”
This is why you should always consider AutoCAD Essentials as the first step on your learning journey and always ask how you can supercharge your abilities – the AutoCAD “Beyond the Basics” course is an excellent way to achieve this and is the logical next step after the essentials training.
AutoCAD sprinters predominately utilise the keyboard. The Beyond the Basics course teaches keyboard techniques with Aliases and Keyboard Shortcuts. Something that is sure to bring real time-savings.
Efficient Layer manipulation is also something that is often overlooked. The Beyond the Basics course teaches alternative methods of handling layers (focused upon just a specific area of the drawing). We also show you other ways of Layer manipulation and investigation as well as showing how to get better layer control within Viewports.
Knowing how to work effectively with multiple open drawings is also taught. Its surprising how well this can be utilised to bring further increases in productivity.
And if you are not familiar with Grips, we will show you how these can make AutoCAD do things you never thought it could.
But these are just examples of the many topics that will take you from “Runner to Sprinter” and there is much more on the course, including:
So, to conclude, attending the Essentials course is like providing you with a pair of running trainers which is great if you want to go jogging. Whereas, the Beyond the Basics course will provide you with a pair of running spikes to help turn you into a sprinter!
