Conclusion
Having not used Inventor since freshman year, I was a little rusty with the program. Once I got the hang of it and remembered all the features it did become easier and quicker to make the parts and assemblies. I did remember how to create sketches, extrude, fillet, and assemble parts along with most of the other options. I did have trouble remembering how to explode an assembly or make a detailed view. Overall, I feel that this project did refresh many of the skills on Inventor that I had forgot I had. This should make it easier to use the program if I choose to use it for my capstone project.
