Inventor 6

[Sandybar]

MC9 does not have an convertor for Inventor 6 yet. It is my understanding that 9.1 will updated to tansalate Inventor 6 files.

 

To date I've little success converting Inventor 6 files with the aid of Rhino, Desktop, and Inventor 5.3. I have saved as a SAT file from Inventor 6 imported into 5.3 in hopes that the Master Cam converter with go straight in. Also tried to save as a Step out of Inventor 6 and still no go.

 

Has anyone encountered this problem and what did you do?

I`ve been converting them in as SAT and STEP`s

[Sandybar]

Dog Fartz, I have good luck with Step and Sats when the geometry is straight forward. But when the geometry is complex with lots of draft and radius it will not come into Master Cam clean.

Sandy,

 

When you have finished for part in Invevtor 6 Save it as a Version 7.0 SAT File, Then import it directly into Mastercam. This works just fine.

Sandybar can you share a Inventer6 file on the ftp?

[Sandybar]

CADCAM, At this time I cannot share any files do to sensitivity.

 

I will try to save as a SAT 7 and import as Budgie suggested.
