Inventor export

[Tim Martinez]

What is the best method for exporting files that will be worked on in Inventor?

Looking to import a solid? You are not going to get a history tree.

 

File. Same some. Select the solid. End the selection.

 

Save as type: From the drop down dialog box, select a file type that Inventor can work with. Para-solid, Stp, IGS, whatever you can import into Inventor. Note that if you choose a para-solid, an options tab will become available that will allow you to produce a file with a version level that is compatible with your version of Inventor.

 

If it.s 2d only, DWG and Dxf formats are available.

 

Looking to export from Inventor? MC will open the native Inventor file and likes para-solids and step files as well.

 

Personally, I'd avoid converting the file to anything and just open the Inventor file. One less chance of a translation error occurring.
