Learn Autodesk Inventor iLogic from scratch using real engineering logic —
not complicated programming language.
Companies aren't just looking for designers anymore. They want engineers who can automate, optimize, and scale.
"AI can translate English into Japanese instantly.
But if you don't know Japanese, the script is useless."
Same with coding.
AI can generate scripts. But if you cannot read and understand the logic, you cannot confidently implement automation.
AI tools generate scripts, but engineers who understand automation logic are the ones who implement, maintain, and improve them.
Automate repetitive design tasks — BOM generation, drawing updates, parameter-driven models — and reclaim your engineering bandwidth.
Manufacturing companies are actively seeking engineers who can bridge CAD and automation. This is the skill gap you can fill right now.
Automation engineers command higher salaries, lead digital transformation projects, and are first in line for leadership roles.
Every concept is explained in terms you already know as a mechanical engineer. Force, tolerance, assembly constraints — that's your language.
You won't copy-paste scripts blindly. You'll understand what every single line does, why it's there, and how to change it.
Every lesson uses actual Autodesk Inventor models. You learn automation while working on parts you'd build in the real world.
The goal isn't memorising commands. It's developing the logical mindset that lets you automate any workflow you encounter.

Real iLogic automation from the actual course — interact and see the rules respond live.
Set the parameters below, then click Run Rule — iLogic drives all dimensions, beam sizes & specs automatically.
If Parameter("LoadRating") = 10 And FrameLength = 4000 Then
Parameter("MainBeam_H") = 200
Parameter("MainBeam_W") = 100
Parameter("MainBeam_T") = 8
Parameter("XMember_Spacing") = 1000
End If
iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone = TrueiLogic reads every component in the Skid Frame assembly and auto-populates the Bill of Materials — part numbers, quantities, materials, all from iProperties.

Fill in the project details, then click Run Rule — iLogic auto-writes Part Number, Description & Title Block across all parts.

Leadership Value"I was terrified of coding. After this program I built a complete product configurator for our sales team in one weekend. My manager promoted me to 'CAD Automation Lead' — a role that didn't exist before."
"The 'mechanical engineer language' approach is real. No confusing syntax lessons. I understood every line of code because it was explained as engineering logic. Finished all 15 hours and immediately automated our sheet metal workflow."
"The live sessions are what made the difference. I brought my actual Inventor problems to the doubt sessions and got them solved in real time. Best engineering upskilling investment I've made."
Absolutely not. This program starts from zero and teaches coding through engineering thinking. If you understand conditional logic in a design spec ("if load exceeds X, use Y"), you already have the mindset needed for iLogic.
Yes. The program is structured for engineers with zero automation experience. Many of our best graduates had never written a single line of code before joining. A basic familiarity with Autodesk Inventor is helpful but not mandatory.
Significantly. Automation skills set you apart in interviews. Companies are actively building CAD automation teams, and engineers who can bridge design and automation are highly valued. Several graduates have been promoted or switched to roles with higher packages specifically citing iLogic expertise.
This is exactly the wrong question to ask — and it's actually the biggest reason to learn. AI can generate iLogic scripts, but without understanding them, you can't verify, debug, or customise them. Engineers who understand automation will direct AI tools. Those who don't will be replaced by engineers who do.
Basic Inventor knowledge is helpful — being able to create a part and assembly. You don't need to be an expert. If you're new to Inventor, we can suggest a short pre-study path to get you up to speed before the program starts.
100% live. Every session is conducted in real time over video call with screen sharing inside Inventor. You can ask questions, share your screen, and get immediate feedback. Recordings of your sessions are available for review afterwards.
