 If you are really interested in modeling with Inventor (2014), try to apply every steps in
respect of their order and watch how you reach the model.
Enjoy!
1. Step 1:
1. New sketch: a slopped line centered on Center point (length 100, slopped at 7 degrees 21’
from the projected X Axis; two points (P1 and P2) at 29.6 and 51 are added on the slopped
line

2. Step 2:
2. Three new work planes: [P1] and [P2] normal to X Axis through points P1 and P2, and
[P3] normal to slopped line through Center point; select the line first and the point second
3. Step 3:
3. After taking visibility of [P1] and [P2] and the first sketch, a new sketch on [P3]
4. Step 4:
4. Extrude the new profile between [P1] and [P2] (selected from browser)
5. Step 5:
5. The result of extruding
6. Step 6:
6. New work plane: to create [P4] select successively 1 and 2, in order
7. Step 7:
7. New sketch on [P4]: Circle with Radius=50 at 60 from Center point on the same vertical
8. Step 8:
8. Extrude the circle symmetrically on 31, option Cut
9. Step 9:
9. Fillet Radius 2 on the indicated edges
10. Step 10:
10. New sketch on [P4]: two semicircles at 3 with two tangent lines - superior and inferior -
with prescription: the inferior tangent is centered on Center point
11. Step 11:
11. Extrude the closed profile symmetrically on 31-1.88-1.88 (as an expression)
12. Step 12:
12. Fillet Radius 2 on the indicated edges
13. Step 13:
13. New sketch on XZ Plane: the axis (centerline) is coincident with Center point
14. Step 14:
14. Revolve the closed profile using the Intersect option!
15. Step 15:
15. The middle body finished
16. Step 16:
16. Revolve the closed profile in a new sketch created in plan P3: the midpoints on the same
vertical with Center point
17. Step 17:
17. The result of revolving with Cut option
18. Step 18:
18. Revolve the ends of part with Join option using two closed profiles in a new sketch
19. Step 19:
19. The result of revolving the two closed profiles
20. Step 20:
20. Fillet four edges with different radii
21. Step 21:
21. Thread the right end using the specification ISO Metric profile / M22x3
22. Step 22:
22. Chamfer five edges with different values
23. Step 23:
23. Hole on the right end of part using concentric option to obtain a countersunk hole at 60°
(Ø6)
24. Step 24:
24. Hole on the left end of part using concentric option to obtain a countersunk hole at 60°
(Ø3)
25. Step 25:
25. Preparing for creating a sketch in two steps: 1. Click on face, 2. Select „Create Sketch”
icon
26. Step 26:
26. The sketch contains a pseudo triangle at 60° with a filleted peak of 0.3 at 13.5 from
Center point
27. Step 27:
27. Extrude the „triangle” on a distance of 28, using opton Cut
28. Step 28:
28. Start creating a sketch in two steps: 1. Click on face, 2. Select „Create Sketch” icon
29. Step 29:
29. The sketch contains the projected „triangle” and a centerline (as Axis) at 53 from Center
point
30. Step 30:
30. Revolve the „triangle” around the Axis using the option Cut
31. Step 31:
31. Apply Circular Pattern to the last two features around the part axis for 35 times
32. Step 32:
32. Create an work axis using the Axis tool followed by a procedure in 4 steps, starting with
right-click on empty graphic space
33. Step 33:
33. Create an work point by clicking successively on a face (1) and the axis (2)
34. Step 34:
34. Create Hole with the option On point by selecting the point and the axis, in this order
35. Step 35:
35. Final part

Do you have the 2D mechanical drawing with dimensions. I would like to start modeling with
this drawing in hand...
