Cad Exercises Final Book

The document provides instructions for assembling components in an Autodesk Inventor assembly model. It describes initializing a new assembly by opening a previous file and saving it with a new name. It then details placing and constraining three components using various mate constraints like coincident, flush, and fixing degrees of freedom. A fourth component is then assembled using additional mate constraints. The document concludes by noting other available constraint types.
