AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Open Frame Assembly In Solidworks

Nov 20, 2012

I am having trouble opening an assembly I made on inventor in solidworks. First I drew a frame using just lines and saved it as frame.ipt 

then I opened a new assembly and placed the frame.ipt into the assembly. Once that was done I was able to add a frame to follow the path of the lines by clicking "insert frame" 

This assembly was called frame.iam 

When I try opening on Solidworks it does not work. I clicked body and features and either way it did not work.

I have transferred assembly to solidworks before but I think I am having trouble with this one since I made a frame using  inventor tools instead of just making every single part myself and then constraining it together in an assembly.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Importing Solidworks Files

Mar 2, 2012

We are working with a business partner who has been sending up Solidworks files to import into Inventor and up to today we've had no issues.  We just got a bunch of files today and when we import them they appear to be empty.  Can Inventor only import certain versions of SWX? 

We do not know if our partner updated their SWX or not.  We have tried various settings in the Options window and still the same result.  I've attached a sample file.  We are running the Autodesk Product Design Suite 2012 - Ultimate with Inventor SP1.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Converting 2D Files From NX / Catia / Solidworks

Sep 20, 2013

I had a question as to whether or not there are any upgardes / improvements / options in any of the later Autodesk versions (2013, 2014) have the ability to convert 2D drawings from NX/Catia/Solidworks to Inventor. Is it possible to convert 2D drawings from these other software to extensions that are compatible with Autodesk software? I'm running an earlier version of Inventor on my machine but it seems as though even those at our other locations running Autodesk 2013/2014 are having trouble converting 2D files properly.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Importing Multiple Files From Solidworks - Translators?

Oct 26, 2011

I have to import multiple files from Solidworks.  I don't have any issues with that except that when I import these files they are base files.  All the intelligence is wiped out.  I know that Solidworks can import Inventor files and keep all of the intelligence in the file.  Does Autodesk have translator software that will allow the import of a solidworks file and keep the intelligence used to build the model?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Reading Solidworks 2012 Files Directly Into System

Sep 3, 2012

We are using Inventor 2012 and would like to read Solidworks 2012 files directly into the system. This can be done with Solidworks 2011 files but our vendor upgraded his software between the time he sent us test files to try  the import and now. Can you tell me if the is a plug in or something that will allow us to read SW 2012 files or should we upgrade to Inventor 2013?

AutoCad :: Import Assembly From Solidworks

May 10, 2011

I am trying to import a assembly from Solidworks. I start by selecting the file and then opening it. Autocad notifies me that the file is ready. I click on the path and it cancels out. I then try in insert the block and nothing. Is there a easier way to convert a assembly from Solidworks to Autocad?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Migrate Solidworks To DWG

Oct 12, 2011

I need to migrate 5000+ SW drawings files.  Some have broken model references.  I was hoping to use task scheduler but it produces empty DWG for any SW drawing that has a broken reference.

Now there is a feature in SW called QuickView that opens in the last saved state but doing so only allows to save to TIF.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Importing Assembly To SolidWorks

Mar 29, 2013

I have an assembly designed by somebody else in Inventor. I exported it as STP under Inventor 2013 and imported to SolidWorks 2012. It took over half a day. After the import, some of the objects became big spheres. Know what is going on? I then saved a sub-assembly from Inventor and imported to Solidworks. I tried to use Feature Recognition. However, SW reported that "FeatureWorks. Part contains overlapping solids. FeatureWorks can not proceed further." In the tree on the left, I see a list of Imported objects. I cannot even edit those objects. What is the best way to import design created in Inventor to SolidWorks anyway?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Display States In Solidworks

Jan 31, 2012

Solidworks has something called display states where you can change each component in an assembly to appear differently.  For example; one part shaded another line edges without hidden lines, yet another showing the hidden lines along with the line edges.  Then once these are set this can be brought into a drawing.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Switch From SolidWorks To ILogic And IPart

Aug 8, 2013

We are looking to switch from SW to Autodesk in order to utilize advanced surfacing in Alias, and its interoperability with Inventor.  However, we need to continue to perform Kinimatic linkage studies as well using Inventor.  I need to make sure we can perform the same calculations with ease before making the switch.

At this point I am trying to mimic in Inventor the kinimatic studies I perform in SW.  In SW I would perform these studies within a single part file, using a single sketch only (no solid parts).  Within this part file I would break up the total "travel" of the linkage into configurations that are driven by a "Design Table".  The Design Table would be used for both the main driving value, and for any driven values I wanted to use for analysis.

I am trying to find a way to get the same driven variables written to an Excel file to use for analysis using Inventor.

As a test example:

I would like to drive one variable(Damper Length) to get ~20 different iParts, each with the linkage moved to a new point within its set range of motion.  I then would like to write several Driven variables(Displacement_1-3 shown in "RULE CODE" attachement) from each iPart instance to an Excel file.

I have been able to get my 20 iParts and the linkage to move accordingly(iPART INSTANCES attachement), but I have not figured out how to write the driven data to excel for each iPart instance(20 rows of data, 3 columns).  I have only been able to write the dimesions for one row of data...whichever iPart is currently open.

with the necessary iLogic code or another solution?  It seems like this should be pretty straight forward.  Do I need to be using the "ChangeRow" iPart Snippet?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Opening SolidWorks File - Error

Apr 5, 2013

I am having an issue opening a SolidWorks file in Inventor. The file is a native SolidWorks .sldprt file. This is the procedure I followed: File-Open in Inventor, changed file type to SolidWorks Files and selected the file on my computer to be opened. I then recieve an HTML error message stating "Error - Translation failed. This version is not supported." I am currently using Inventor 2013.  I received the file from one of our sister companies and we were hoping to be able to exchange native files easily using Inventors built in translator.

Any translator or add-in that would work to open files of this type.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How Solidworks Output G-Code To Machine Parts

Jun 24, 2013

How Solidworks has the ability to output G-code to machine parts without the use of a seperate CAM software.

If Inventor has the ability to do this with some sort of add on? Or even if Autodesk offers a program that does this that would work well with Inventor or if I must use a seperate CAM software to do it. I have used Mastercam in the past but wasn't sure if there was an easier way to do so.

Dec 23, 2010

I've got an SVG file, it was generated by a program which generates such things, its completely valid according to the W3C validator. If I try to open it or import it into Corel X5, X5 crashes. I send off a WER to Corel hopefully (it says it sends it but one never knows for sure.)

May 10, 2011

For production artwork, I need to create a High-Res PDF file.

I know I could use a PDF printer to create the .pdf file. The problem I'm having, is that they provided me with a template, which also is a .PDF file.

I need to import this template into paint.net so I can paint over it. Is there a way to open .PDF files and maintain their dimensions (>300 DPI)

They mentioned: Certified High Resolution PDF files with norm PDF/x-1a:2001

I need to do a drawing in inventor ASAP and I've never used the software. I have a design drawn out on paper, and I want to use it as a template. I understand that you can import a scan into autocad... so how do you import the autocad file into inventor so I can make it 3D. Or can I just import the scanned file into inventor? How???

AutoCAD Inventor :: Does 2012 Not Import STP Files

Nov 25, 2013

I am trying to import a ProE created STP or STEP file of a solid model into 2012.  STP does not seem to be an option under format types.  AutoCAD Mechanical 2012 seems to import the file just fine and it looks and act like a solid.  I saved the file out in dwg format.  When I try to import the dwg file into Inventor or just open it, a "styles conflict" dialog box comes up even though the dwg file being imported and the ipt file being used are the standard versions that come with the programs.  If I click OK an idw file opens displaying a blank sheet.  Then Inventor acts like it is done with the task.
