Start using Inspire Form with our interactive tutorials.
View and edit the construction history of your model.
Create and assign variables to parametrize a model. This allows you to quickly iterate and compare design concepts by tweaking the values of the variables.
Global references are the global origin, axes, and planes shown in the modeling window. They can be helpful when creating and defining your model.
Learn about sketching basics including the sketch plane, legend, constraints, context menu options, and construction geometry.
Start a new sketch (S) and select a sketch plane.
Project selected geometry onto the sketch plane as construction geometry.
Extract curves resulting from the intersection of the sketch plane with selected parts or surfaces.
Sketch and edit a point, line, polyline (L), or line-arc.
Sketch and edit a rectangle (R).
Sketch and edit a parallelogram or a regular polygon.
Sketch and edit a circle (C).
Sketch and edit an ellipse or an elliptical arc.
Sketch and edit an arc (A).
Sketch and edit a spline (S).
Use the Dimension tool (D) to define and/or constrain the dimensions of a sketch.
Translate or rotate sketch entities.
Trim (B) or split a sketch curve.
Extend or shorten an entity of a sketch curve.
Round the corners of 2D sketch curves to create fillets (F) with the same radius or different radii.
Offset (O) or mirror (M) a sketch curve.
Create a linear or circular pattern of sketch entities.
Export the current sketch as a .dxf or .dwg file.
Create and modify parametric surfaces and solids.
Perform Feasibility, Blank Fit, and Blank Nesting analyses.
Open any part in Studio to design the die, and import the die face design into Inspire Form from Studio.
Perform tryout analyses to validate die designs.
Adjust the materials, environment, and properties of objects in the scene to create a photorealistic image.
Analyze the object geometry for negative draft, trim angle, and shortest distance between parts.
Review forming outcomes through the Analysis Explorer.
