Click Return to leave Sketch view again and return to the 3D view. You will see that our rectangle has changed size but the cuboid is still 10mm thick. We want to change this.
Go back to isometric view by pressing F6 - this will move the part back to Isometric view and also zoom to an angle that will show you the whole part.
On the left you will find the Browser panel. If you need to click the plus sign beside "Extrusion 1" then mouse over Sketch 1. You will see that the rectangle we drew is highlighted. If we double click "Sketch 1" we will be able to go back and make some changes, do this now.
A great thing about Inventor is the ability to view objects from any angle. Press the Free Rotate button in the menu bar (shown in the notes) and a circle will appear on screen. If you click inside this circle and drag you can spin the part around.
You can also get into Free Rotate mode by pressing F4 on the Keyboard - this is really easy and you will quickly get used to having one hand on the keyboard and one on the mouse
To draw your rectangle:
- click somewhere in the main drawing area
- release the mouse button
- move the mouse to another location in the drawing area
- then click once again.
Don't worry too much about size for now but you should try to make sure that your screen looks something like mine.
