Cool Stuff in Inventor?

[jmcmains]

Hey,
I've been asked to go through inventor and find some essential stuff worthy of teaching in the class room. This is beyond your typical "this is a line", or "this is an extrusion." Just want to find some cool tips/tricks that inventor can do. Any Hints?

Thanks
JMc

Driving constraints and creating actual mechanical motion is usually pretty impressive, AND fun to learn (kind of like a video game). You can then record into a video.

There was a great example of an operator with too much time on his hands....(AWESOME work though). It was posted on the Adesk discussion group called "IV is not a toy"

It is a large file (something like 8 MB). I can e-mail it if you don't find it.
