AutoCAD Inventor :: Import XML Files To Materials Library

Jun 1, 2012

Does a process for importing INDIVIDUAL materials (saved as some_material.styxml) that had been exported from Inventor 2011 or 2012 into the 2013 Inventor Material Library?

I am not asking about converting the old libraries -- I know how to do that -- these are materials that were created for one-time (supposedly) use and exported from the 2012 Inventor file, but never saved to the older Inventor styles libraries. Operation was EASY in 2012 -- click the "Import" button on the styles manager dialog box.

No such button on the new materilas library manager, or am I missing something?

Only way I have been able to do this is create a 2102 part, import the STYXML file, apply the material to the 2012 part, then save the part & open it in 2013 & let 2013 import the style. Once the material style has been imported this way, it can be added to the Inventor Material Library, but this is a really nutty workaround that requires Inventor 2102 to be available...

AutoCAD Inventor :: Custom Materials Library Creation

Apr 24, 2012

Is there a good source of material mechanical properties on the internet?  I have been creating a custom material library with the materials I normally use and I've just been duplicating a material from the supplied libraries to create mine with a name change only.  I'd like to include the correct mechanical properties if I could find a source of information that has all the properties in the format that the Inventor 2013 materials editor requires.

I have custom material, appearance, and sheet metal libraries. I exported all my sheet metal styles. When I try to import them, I get this message:

Error loading file 'file:///M:/00_Styles/SheetMetalStyles.styxml'.

Cannot find reference to Colors style named 'Stainless - 2B' in file:///M:/00_Styles/SheetMetalStyles.styxml.

Style 'Materialstainless Steel, 304 2B' has not been loaded from file:///M:/00_Styles/SheetMetalStyles.styxml.

The color and material it is looking for are both in the active style library.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Back Up Files For Library?

Mar 21, 2012

I back-up a 23 GB library to two external hard drives about once a week. I always wipe out the previous back up set and copy and paste fresh each time and let it run.

Ive also been thinking of adding an online backup (carbonite etc) as another failsafe.

How do automatic back-ups work in the realm of parametrically linked files such as Inventor. Im a little worried about that concept.

Revit :: Create Asset Or Material Library Out Of Multiple Materials From Project File

Feb 27, 2014

I have a Revit file with over 1,000 materials and associated appearance assets.  It was created in a previous version of Revit before library support.  What I want to do is create libraries from them.  However, the only instructions to add them one at a time using dragging and dropping.  That will take me days to do.  Is there a way to simply create an asset or material library out of multiple materials from a project file at one time without having to individually select them?

3ds Max :: Use Scene Materials On Import (merge)

Jun 7, 2011

When I merge geometry into a scene that is already using the same materials, it prompts me what I want to do. I always select "Use scene materials"...however, whenever I look at the slate, it shows duplicates all over the place. To keep mat library optimized becomes a task when you are dealing with a lot of materials.

Why does MAX not listen to me when I tell it to use the scene materials that have matching names?

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.

AutoCAD Inventor :: MDT Import Files Via Task Manager

Jan 18, 2011

I created a task to import (convert) a specified folder of MDT files using a specified ini file to ignore the layout drawings (tests resulted in near-useless idws with most missing drawing views - mainly due to our ignorance in creating MDT drawings).  I specified a subfolder as the destination for the converted ipt files.  After the task runs, the ipt files appear in the main folder (where I did not want them), while the destination folder has files with the names of <original part number>.dwg.ipt.  The ipt and dwg.ipt files appear identical and have the same feature tree.

A typical entry in the Import.txt file is:

22926.dwg Get Translator Success   ...InventorConvert MDT Files
dwg 22926.dwg Open Success    ...InventorConvert MDT Files
dwg 22926.dwg Import Success    ...InventorConvert MDT FilesInventor parts converted from MDT files22926.dwg.ipt
dwg 22926.dwg Close Success    ...InventorConvert MDT Files

So I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here.  It appears to be mainly working, but it will require cutting/pasting/deleting I wasn't expecting.  The main goal here is to create ipt files that our CAM system can (we hope) work directly with, as they dumped the MDT translators a while back.

AutoCAD Inventor :: 2013 CAN Still Import AMDT 09 Files

Aug 22, 2012

I thought I'd share a little discovery we made here yesterday. Before we upgraded to Inventor 2013, there was a lot of fuss and hesitation due to 2013 not having the AMDT import wizard functionality. This lack of functionality was also confirmed by our VAR.

I can confirm that Autodesk Inventor Professional 2013 DOES have the usual Mechanical Desktop import wizard.

I can also confirm that it still doesn't bring in extruded text :-)

I've attached a collection of screenshots as proof.
