joining parts

Recommended Posts

Hi

I'm very new to Inventor and have a very basic question. I have created three cylinders which I want to stack one on top of the other and join them permanently. From reading the manual etc I know I can do it by creating separate parts and using an assembly. My question is can it be done to separate elements within the same part doc.? This is probably a very rudimentary question but my problem is I'm not familiar with the terminology and find it hard to do a search. I would appreciate any assistance or a link to an appropriate tutorial.

In the real world is it one part or three?

If one part - then model as one part.

If three parts then model as multi-body solids or individual parts and assembly - just like the real world.

Hi

Thanks for getting back. It will be one part. I just thought it might make sense to model it in separate parts and join them - obviously not. I have attached the file and will set about re-modelling. Thanks again.
