Welcome. ようこそ。
AU 2010! Yeah, well I’m back and already looking forward to next year.
I won the Inventor 2011 Beta Contests for Simulation. Now I’m back to pounding out courseware again.
Don’t forget the supportive folks at Autodesk University, Autodesk Certifications, Civil3d.com, BIM on the Rocks, and Tekni.
I took on some design contracts this past year, and things went quite well. If you need a design put on paper, or a problem worked out, let me know.
If you want to see something, please post to the Civil3D or Inventor product pages. I will continue do my best. みんあさんがんばれ。

Fun in Kanazawa with my nephew Shido !
My name is John Evans, and I am an Autodesk Inventor and Civil 3D Certified Professional. I currently work for Gustin, Cothern, and Tucker, Inc., a Civil Engineering firm in Niceville, Florida. There I manage the Civil 3D seats, training, troubleshooting, construction data management, and occasionally programming. I provide consulting services for product design, and serve as a consulting author at Tekni Consulting, where I write content for Inventor training courses. I attended Autodesk University 2006, 2007, and 2009 in Las Vegas.
I am a veteran with extensive experience in Aerospace maintenance, Mechanical engineering and manufacturing, and Civil Engineering/Surveying, both field and office, and I speak English and Japanese. When I am not answering questions here, I am with my family, writing training material, proving a new design, studying Japanese, or in my machine shop.
I Currently use AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010, Autodesk Inventor 2010, MasterCAM X2, InventorCAM, and Mach3.
If I could do more of something besides blogging to everyone, it would probably be…

from Civil to Inventor 
John,
I need help learning constraints. Any suggestions?
Regards,
What kinda constraints? Assembly, 2D Sketch Geometry, Simulation Joints?
Assembly and 2d sketch constraints.
Tekni will have new lessons in Spring this year, parallel to the release of 2011.
I’ll add some tips here, so check back.
Rob Cohee just went through some recently as I recall.
There are also some video lessons I did for Retrieve.
Mark Flayler of ImagineIt writes various topics you might find some things there.
Steve Bedder’s Blog is always worth reading (nothing yet for constraints though)
Keep checking back. I’ll get some things on here. Follow with Twitter, and I’ll update when they are available, or if I come across anything good.
John,
Is it possible to flatten a transition from square to cercle eaven when it’s off center? Making it solid befor a shell won’t respect the thickness of a sheet metal. Starting from a loft surface then add a thickness/offset gives good results in modeling part but converting it into sheet metal and specifie the thickness parameters accordingly won’t let do a flat pattern. I’m looking for the best program to use but inventor is so simple to use and learn overall (took 2 days with a freind’s computer). So i’m considering it for my job but maybe a used version like 8 (cheaper but no more support) but maybe flatten only work in recent Version… thanks
Is it possible to make parts that are flexible such as a part made of rubber with a steel rod through it that will flex when the steel rod is moved?
Dear John, I am Amanda from Brazil and I am finishing my graduation on Mecatronics Engineering. As my graduation paper, I choose to study an axis of a machine, but I am having some troubles to select the constraint to the axis, once the axis turn during the machine work, it is not fixed anywhere, so, I chose PIN constraint, but this is not working, because when I select RUN SIMULATION it shows me an alert saying that the axis does not have enough constraints. Could you help please in this? Do I need to specify a fixed constraint even if my system does not have it to get this analysis done? Thanks a lot! Regards,Amanda.
