Import and Export Data
To translate files, you open or import the files in Autodesk Inventor. You can
also place part and assembly files as components in Autodesk Inventor
assemblies and drag and drop part and assembly files into Autodesk Inventor.
In the open, import, and place components workflows, you can choose from
specific import options to achieve the intended results. The import options
are available when you select a file and click Options on the dialog box. Details
of the import operation are contained in the translation report, under the
corresponding third-party browser node.
AutoCAD Files
When you open an AutoCAD file in Autodesk Inventor, you can select the
AutoCAD data to translate:
■
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.
You can 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 drawings, you cannot convert
certain entities, such as splines. You can choose to import AutoCAD blocks
as Autodesk Inventor sketch blocks.
