- Projects are used to organize files and to maintain links between files
- A project file is a text file with an .ipj extension. The file specifies the paths to the files in the project. To assure that links between files work properly, add the locations for all files to the project file before working on model files.
- frequently used subfolders (open and save)
- By default, projects use relative paths. In projects, a path is relative to the location of the project file (.ipj), which is located in either the workgroup or workspace.
- Part Templates - a part file becomes a template when you save it in the Templates folder. For example, if you have a part file that contains settings, properties, or other elements you want to use for other parts, save a copy of it in the UsersPublicDocumentsAutodeskInventor 2015Templates. What to include in the part template (1-size of origin work planes to accommodate average size of parts you create, 2-set and define the default material, 3-specific materials and appearances)
- Sketch using Relax Mode (located in the status bar) Relax Mode allows you to modify geometry and apply new constraints to geometry that is already constrained. With Relax Mode ON: Dragging geometry will remove conflicting constraints. Dimensions become Driven while dragging. With Relax Mode OFF, dragging geometry will not remove existing constraints and dimensions.

Problem 01 - How many workspaces are defined in the default project?
- 0
- 1
- 20
- Unlimited
- “Note: Projects use relative paths rather than absolute paths when the project locations such as the workspace, workgroup, or libraries are in a subfolder of the folder that contains the project file.” Autodesk Inventor 2015 Help
- “When you install Autodesk Inventor, it installs a 'Default' project automatically. If you do not create a project or specify a different project when you start working in Inventor, the default project is automatically active. The default project does not define an editable location. However, you can use it to create designs immediately, and save files anywhere without regard to projects and file management. Your files are saved to the default project. Generally, you use the default project for experimentation only, not actual design work. You cannot delete the Default project.” Autodesk Inventor 2015 Help - Projects for organizing design data
- “The project file (.ipj) is stored in the workspace.” Autodesk Inventor 2015 Help
- “You use a separate project file for each project, and locate the files specific to that project in the workspace folder, including the project file. Then you can copy the entire project folder back and forth between your local disk and the shared server. If you have sufficient space, you can also copy the necessary or frequently used libraries to your computer. Use Pack and Go to create a local copy of the libraries that contain only the library files referenced from your project.”

Problem 04 - What is the MAXIMUM number of fix constraints that can be applied to a sketch?

Any endpoint or segment of a line, arc, circle, spline segment, or ellipse can be fixed. Multiple points in a sketch can be fixed. If you select near the endpoint of an object, the endpoint will be locked from moving. If you select near the midpoint of a segment the entire segment will be locked from moving in directions that are undesirable, you can apply Fix constraints to hold the endpoints of the objects in place. You can remove a fix constraint as needed. Deleting constraints will be covered later in this chapter." (Autodesk Inventor 6 Essentials with Autodesk Inventor 7 Update by Banach, p. 67)

Design Data directory. This spreadsheet can be modified to match your company's standards. The thread data is used to display the thread on the part and when the thread is annotated in a drawing view. The thread data is not associative to the threads on existing parts. When changes are made to the spreadsheet, the new values are only used when new threads area created. If a dimensional change is made to the diameter of the cylinders where a thread has been placed, a warning dialog box is displayed when the part is updated.
