Pipe/Tube design

Pipe/Tube design

(OP)
hey,
 Ive been getting into autocad a little more, i have autodesk inventor 5 and was wandering if someone could help me design some tube/pipe structures such as a roll cage. if you could just go over how to make a simple pipe, bend it, weld it ect or if you have some site refrences or books that might help me that would be great too thanks alot!

RE: Pipe/Tube design

Go to www.sdotson.com for some good tutorials on 3D sketches (and other great tutorials too)

R5 does not allow a 3D spline, so you will need to use straight lines and radius corners.
