See the announcement video here kzread.info/dash/bejne/ipeflc6vpbC4mrA.html and check out the leaderboard here invmark.cadac.com/#/ - all designed by me, Neil Cross TFI.

autodesk should pay you for these intresting and not boring tutotrials

Watched it again! 'twas good. Remind me how ignorant I was 6 years ago... Thank you.

holy crap I didnt even know how to use the features not to mention they arent every intuitive, this dude laid everything out perfectly to understand, tyvm

He makes them seem more intuitive than Autodesk made them out to be. 😅

TFI, Thanks a lot for showing Bolted Connections in such a detailed level! You make the best tutorials for Autodesk Inventor and you certainly have earned the title Autodesk Expert Elite! Tutorials like this saves both me and maaany others alot of time and pain! (sort of..frustration at least) ! I guess you have been in that situation and done a ton of trial and error, hence you are the expert.. but still that's the best way to learn and remember ;) I am a Senior Piping Engineer working on modifying and improving existing oil rigs in Norway. I have been using Bentley Microstation and PDMS almost every day for over 10 years. Client and the company I'm working for choose this as a standard. I know as a fact that a Bentley user like me, have more difficulties converting over to Autodesk, because its somewhat another way of thinking when modeling. I'm currently learning how to design in Autodesk Inventor privately, and the only question I have regarding this tutorial, even doe I guess you might have covered that or will cover that in a tutorial for Partlists and BOM view.. or maybe its so obvious that I have not discovered it yet... Regarding Bolts, Washers and Nuts in the partlist.. Is there a way to compress them into one item number in the partlist like in example text "M12 Bolt x 115 mm lg (material bla bla, C/W (Comes With) Washers and Nuts)"? So various sizes and length of bolts does not clutter or dominate the partlist when you have designed/assembled a complex component? Anyways, again.. Many thanks for the tutorials you have made and making, they really helps! Best Regards Alfie.

Another video that offers a good mix of educational content as well as humour. Kudos.

You do the best CAD Videos on KZread!!! Thanks for your help! Your videos may appear long but they're actually short for what you're really putting across. The comedy keeps the videos entertaining and I could watch them for hours!

Great lesson! Simple and straight to the point. Thank you!

I've never once looked at bolted connections but I see a use for this quite a bit. Thanks for the video!

I learn so much from these tutorials. Thank you .

Perfect, thanks for adding in the extra explanations at the end, helps clarify what you have achieved.

A great tool and a great explanation as usual. Thank you for your work and keep up!

My company recently decided we would do 3D for our GA drawings. Me, being the senior of our team and none of us having 3D experience was chosen to be the lab rat. I am learning from the start and I find your videos very informative, extremely helpful, and quick to the point. I had a manager that was English but recently returned to Australia where he actually lives. He was very smart but also very (TOO) thorough in explaining things. You could never get a YES/NO answer from him until he completed his 16-minute preamble on the basis of your question. You on the other hand get the point across in like 16 seconds. One thing I will comment on his some of your background music makes me wanna throw a weenie down a hallway. I can bear it though since you make the rest enjoyable. Thanks a shit-ton.

These are top notch tutorials - extremely well done mate! 😊

thank you very much for such a detailed work!!!! exelent walkaround of functions, and work process, thanks again and may you have a happy new year!

Super tutorials with bolted connections. Thank you :)

Great video. I appreciate the thoroughness.

Excellent explanation from a SolidWorks user currently trying Inventor. Thanks for this.

this video saved my life today for my school project! Thank you Neil!

Very Good training lesson.

Awesome content! Old video but great stuff! In the first 15 secs. you sounded a lot like the way Clickspring talks lol. Enjoyed every minute of it, hope you continue to do great tutorials/lessons like this. They are VERY valuable to people like me. Thanks a TON! - Jacob S.

Excellent video and fine explanation! Thanks very much.

Sir, Thank you so much for the lovely and easy explanation ! and comparing this to the time and effort to add a bolted connection on Fusion 360 ! oh lord ! Inventor is way smarter ! and faster ! I am glad i am a member of this channel :)

Good and Direct training lesson. Thank you Friend.

Your videos are Excellents.. My congratulation!! I'm from venezuela , this explanation was the best..

love this tutorial. amazing

Thanks for the Tutorial!

Fantastic, as always

What a great video. You did just blow it out. You place the video like fun. thanks a lot really.

Best entertaining and useful videos ever

Thanks - great job.

Very good!

Thanks so much! Legend!

Good job. Thanks a lot.

it is really good, thank you

Excellent explaiination

I start using this feature and it's awesome. It's great when you have to change the size of a bolt. But Have you ever had an issue where the bolt gets generated but the holes don't. On like a linear one. Im trying to put a hole through a flat surface then through a round shaft then terminating through a flat surface again. Great vid keep it up.

Needed a review, not boring, kept my attention

Thanks, Great Videos. Can you tell me if the holes were created in the actual parts or only in the assembly

Great video thanks for taking the time to explain! Sub'd

I love the music! :)

Hi there, great vid. Do you know if there is an easy way of positioning multiple bolted connections?

At last thank you

Your awesome thx!

I love your videos. I am a high school teacher teaching Inventor and Revit. Thanks for making them interesting and so I don't fall asleep. I have a question. I'm a solidworks convert and I want to have my students create a vise...easy enough right. I haven't been able to find a good way to show them how to make the vise move by rotating the screw. Do you have anything for that?

+Daniel Seman Thanks! I've got nothing for that on the channel, but it should be possible, I'll have a think and see if it can be made into a tutorial as it's quite a generic thing that could be used by a lot of folk.

good lesson

Fantastic videos for the student well done. Can you produce a video to show how to animate an energy chain please

very informative...what does the orange warning sign on some bolted connections mean

I thank you for the video. I'm sure this can be done. I'll find out tomorrow when I play with this but an 8.4mm hole would be oversize for our use. Hopefully there is a way to make these defaults tighter. i.e 8mm, 8.05mm, and 8.1mm for 8mm fixings. Then new clearances for ≥16mm and new again for ≥50mm etc..

Absolutely great tutorial my friend! You sell yourself short B-)

Thank you

Great Video! I know this video is a few years old now, but I have encountered a problem and I have no idea where to turn. On the dialog at 11:39, I am only able to select 5 mm. There are no other options with other standards and the drop down arrow is faded out indicating there are none. What do I do? I have already reinstalled, and this has not been an issue in the past when I have used this accelerator. Thanks for any help!

thank you

Awesome job! Yeah Inventor seems to make things difficult

good stuff

Good day Thanks soooo much for the amazing videos! I would like some help with I-beam Plate connections... I created my sketch, inserted my I-beams and the trimed and extended where needed, now I need to do plate connections for the bolts and adding wheels but I'm struggling so bad! Made a sketch on a plain but it won't let me extrude, then I tried using and part import.... but my size and constraint are a mess!!! :(

Amazing video. By the way is it possible to have a spacer in bw the and bolt ? Like I need to attach a stepper motor to a bracket and I need it to be offset by 2 cm or so and I want to use a spacer. Is there a way to achieve this without having to design spacers myself?

Still up :), good lesson

Love your video the most!. BTW, what's the background music name? so beautiful! Again, Love your video!!

HI TFI! Is there any way to do a bolted connection with carriage bolts(round head square neck)? Looking for the operation to be able to cut square hole on start plane and round holes through rest of materials and termination plane. Is this possible?

Is it possible to add bolts/washers between holes? Great Video!

Youre the best!!!!!! What setting in the lighting did you use in this tutorial?

Yup What lightning & environment and display settings are these?

Hi! I've been having hard time trying to make a connection using stud bolts. They never appear in the content center while specifying the bolted connection itself(click to add a fastener step), though there are a few in content center after all. Is there a trick to make them appear as possible solutions? Basically I want to connect two plates with a stud bolt+washer+nut. No matter which options or dimensions I choose there's no stud to choose from /cry.

did you say "que?" in Spanish? LOL !! Great Video! subscribed!!

Great Video, however, when I tried to practice this feature on two simple solids using a socket head cap screw, Inventor 2015 wouldn't create a desired counter-bore in the first face. Did I miss something or is this not possible? I didn't try a flathead but I'll assume it behaves the same way.

I miss in this function the automatic selection of the size when it came with an assembly for metric with configurations. Who can pressure Autodesk to add this enhancement?

Very good. Thanks so much. For next one, can you please turn off TV before you start recording.

Love that music

A quick tip: disable all the random inch sized fasteners you don't need from the library so you don't have to wait 10 seconds for the menu to open up to pick which screw to use.

Great tutorial, Neil! There is also a nice Inventor AddIn for placing bolted connections: kzread.info/dash/bejne/dal92dWQksTdZKQ.html

The problem with placing bolts and nuts with, with the automation is when you save close and open the file again it can't find the bolts because it is not in the project folder. It's in the content center.

Is the bolted connection also available for the student version of Inventor?

Well, this is cool! but... now i have to do 120 bolts. The template is easy, but is there an multi insert tool ?

Sir please help me My Autodesk inventor 2017 in Thread command is no use and problem . All commands used this command is no use .

When trying to do a bolted connection By Hole, and the solids to join aren't continuous (like a square tube), it doesn't allow to do the job. I guess it isn't a common situation. Anyway, nice video!

what the hell was a lovely story :)

Hi there, when i put on click to add a fastener it doesn't show me the bolts help me please

Fucking genius! Love you man! Thx a lot. Hi five from Brazil.

Hey guy, here's 2 questions for you: 1. How do you ARRAY a bolted connection with holes using LINEAR placement? 2. How do you save the bolt iam and ipt's as CUSTOM? Thanx!
