Autodesk Inventor "YouTube" Videos:

Below is a web site that consolidates all the YouTube videos for Inventor, Inventor LT and Showcase. We know a lot of companies will not allow employees to access YouTube from their work computers. Hopefully, this helps solve the problem. You can also right-click on and download the videos to show on your computer as well.

Hope this helps.
