Autodesk Inventor Drafting: Exploded View Drawing & Parts List


I will guide you through the process of creating an exploded view drawing of the Quick Return Mechanism assembly. We'll begin by creating a presentation file in Inventor to generate an exploded view storyboard.
Next, we'll transition to the drawing environment. You'll learn how to create a new drawing from your exploded view, ensuring proper scaling and placement. A key focus will be on automatically generating a parts list (BOM) directly from your assembly data, populating it with essential information like item number, quantity, and part name. We'll then add balloons to your exploded view, linking each component to its corresponding entry in the parts list, making your drawing easy to interpret.
You can find the STEP files for the Quick Return Mechanism on my GrabCAD profile, so you can follow along step-by-step.
