you can export Autodesk Inventor drawings as DXF
™
or AutoCAD drawing
(DWG) files.
The options for importing and saving AutoCAD files in Autodesk Inventor
are:
■ Selection of layers.
■ Window selection of entities.
■ Saving files in DWG format.
■ Support for DXF files back to version 12.
■ Creation of AutoCAD
®
Mechanical files, if AutoCAD Mechanical is
installed.
NOTE Mechanical Desktop files can be linked to Autodesk Inventor assemblies
without importing.
AutoCAD Files
When you open an AutoCAD file in Autodesk Inventor, you can specify the
AutoCAD data to translate. You can select:
■ Model space, a single layout in paper space, or 3D solids.
■ One or more layers.
You can also place 2D translated data:
■ On a sketch in a new or existing drawing.
■ As a title block in a new drawing.
■ As a sketched symbol in a new drawing.
■ On a sketch in a new or existing part.
If you translate 3D solids, each solid becomes a part file containing an ASM
solid body. Blocks are translated as sketched symbols.
When you import AutoCAD (DWG) drawings into a part sketch, a drawing,
or a drawing sketch overlay, the converter takes the entities from the XY plane
of model space and places them on the sketch. In a drawing, certain entities,
such as splines, cannot be converted.
