Using the Inventor Graphical Interface
The Inventor graphical interface might be different from what you are accustomed to in other

Starting at the upper left of the Inventor window, you’ll see the Inventor button, which has
a drop-down panel similar to the File menu in previous versions. The title bar includes two
toolbars:
