AutoCAD Inventor :: Saving STEP Files In Specific Folder

Jul 5, 2013

When opening a step file and trying to save it, it keeps trying to save it in the 'My Documents/inventor' folder. Even if i select save as and pick a specific folder elsewhere it only saves the top assembly in that location and all sub assemblies and parts are then saved in the My Documents/Inventor folder.

Additional info:

I am operating Autodesk inventor pro 2013.

My project is set to a folder C:inventor workspace

And the folder i am trying to save into is in that folder

AutoCAD 2010 :: Saving STEP Files From Internet As DWG

Jun 28, 2013

I'm downloading .STEP files from the internet, opening them in inventor, then saving them as .dwg files that I can use in my 3D autocad drawings.  I am using AutoCAD 2012 and I am running into some issues when I try to insert the objects. 

So, I open up a new AutoCAD 2012 drawing and begin inserting.  I can insert the first object just fine, any of downloaded files.  It's the second part that is the issue.  I will get one of two issues when trying to insert this second object.  When inserting, it will either show the previous part that I inserted or not show anything at all. 

I don't know if it's a bug, an issue with my set-up, or if I'm doing something funky when converting the .STEP files.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Best Format For Neutral File Format For Exporting / Importing 3D Files?

Sep 25, 2013

What is the best export/import format for sending 3D files. I need some neutral format files, possibly Solidworks but I am not sure. Also any export settings to make sure I get decent quality files.

Nothing like getting a surface model when you want solid model.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Can STEP Files Still Be Used In Assembly

Sep 3, 2012

Basically, my school has the 2012 version of Inventor while I have 2013, and I was wondering if I can still use STEP files in an assembly, and also in my drawing sheets.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Exporting To Step Files?

Nov 5, 2013

I can use the program and quite happily create components, sub assemblys, and master assemblys.Our company still doesn't have ANY 3D FILES. I have been tasked with eventually creating a full range of end product drawings as Step files. They are wanting BIMS. I see this a step to far atm.....

With the products that manufacture inhouse (industrial / comercial boilers) I have produced each individual component within the boiler to eventually aid to manufacture and bombs to intergrate with SAP.

With doing this every boiler I have done in inventor all the components are there and easily accessable. Am I right in thinking it needs to be exported as a step file to lock everything within the master assembly.

When I have exported it to a step file, when it comes to importing it into an  assembly file the components are still accessable when expanded in the menu at the side. Is this because im opening it on my computer or have I done something wrong.....

AutoCAD Inventor :: Importing Step Files Into Assemblies

Feb 5, 2013

I am trying to import a step assembly file in 2013.  Under the options settings I no longer have or see the ability to,

(Import Multiple Solids Parts as Assembly) This was an option to check.

This seems to be a big issue as we always import the assemblies, then ground them. And this gives us the option of moving or deleting certain components, as well as opening individual components in their own part environment.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Rename Imported STEP Files

Dec 6, 2011

I'm currently creating a procedure to manage a standard part library.

For that, I'm trying to import downloaded STEP files from suppliers online libraries, and some of these STEP files contain assemblies.

I can open them as wanted in Inventor (1 .IAM and .IPT files), problem is I can't edit .IPT names. I can only rename them in Windows, but I would like to rename in Inventor before saving for the first time.

I would like to have something like that, with "Assembly" the assembly name:

Assembly.IAM
Assembly_1.IPT
Assembly_2.IPT
Assembly_3.IPT
...

How can I do that without renaming in Windows?

I attached the STEP file I'm using, downloaded form McMaster.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Converting Step Files For Mechanical Desktop?

Feb 7, 2012

I have a problem with some step files I recieved from a vendor for an assembly.  Basically what is happening is I download the step file. Then bring it into Mechanical Desktop.  When brought into Mechanical desktop, it is downloaded in metric where my entire assembly is in standard/english format.  What I did when I had Inventor 2011 is bring the step file into inventor, go to document settings and switch the unit to inch from mm.  Then save the step file and when I brought it into Mechanical desktop it was in the correct unit and scale.

Now with 2012 Inventor, when I bring the step file in, it is automatically in english/standard format.  So I save the step file out and try to open it in Mechanical desktop only to have the file back into mm and 25.4x the actual size it should be.

how to save the step file out like in 2011 to make sure the unit is saved in the correct format.  This is extremely aggrevating and waste of time.  I would have had the part reverse engineered by now if i quit trying to use the vendors standard step files.

This problem doesn't only happen with a certain vendor's drawings either, it goes for all step files I have recieved since getting Inventor2012.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Export Step Files From 2012 Into Surfcam

Oct 15, 2012

I am trying to export step files from Inventor 2012 into Surfcam. Any files that were created in Inventor translate over as solids. Files that I have imported from step files, recognized features, modified and exported again come into Surfcam as Nurb surfaces. I also tried using Inventor 2013 with the same results.

I've never experienced this problem with earlier versions of Inventor.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Unable To Import Step / IGES Files

Nov 8, 2011

Currently using the following hardware; HP Z800 Xeon X5677 with 24GBram and 3x147 SAS in raid configuration

Windows professional 64-bit

98% of our work consist of creating idw drawings of complete factory's plants, large 3d plant models.

Therefore we have many subcontractors and from them we receive 3D step/iges models (size approx. 240MB), we want to be able to import these in to our models. But for the moment we are unable to import these files into inventor (due to size probably), it takes very long (over 36 hours) to convert, and most of the times we get a error... or inventor hangs.

When we are able to convert these we have performance problems because of size of our models. 

So my questions are; 

 - why does it take so long to open,
 - how can we reduce these files.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Imported Step Files Have Weld Bead Surfaces

Apr 5, 2013

i just started using inventor 2013.

it seems that there's a setting so that when it imports steps it assigns weld bead colours to all the surfaces of the imported model. is there a way to change this behaviour so that it imports with solid colour surfaces instead?

AutoCAD Inventor :: 2012 Cannot Save Or Open STEP / IGES Files

Jul 25, 2013

Since we upgraded to Inventor 2012 SP1 on W7 x64 most machines cannot open or save out step or iges files.  The translator shows as 'On demand' and when i save copy as the 'options' button is inactive.  We just get the standard error 'Problems encountered while saving the document'.

I see lots of old posts but nothing relating specifically to stp files.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Derived Parts Exporting As Empty Step Files?

Jun 11, 2012

I've created two similar but different base files.

I've derived each into parts that have a few different features.

In both cases, step exports of the base solid are fine but exports of the unique parts are empty.

Step exports of their assemblies are complete except for these parts.

Sat exports work fine for both parts and assemblies.

It happens in 2012 SP2 and 2013.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Importing Step And Iges Files Takes Forever In 2013 FDS?

I have recently upgraded to 2013 FDS and now when I try to import Acad files (sometimes up to 2000 solids) it takes virtually a full day to import one file.  When I had 2011 I could import these files much faster.

I am working on a 3' x 10' banner with 300dpi in Photoshop and it takes all of my time to do the extra tools to do, and it takes 10 minutes to save it or more.  I have powerbook and CS6 on me.  I put the highest memory in Photoshop preference.  So I am bearing to work with it for hours for one small assignment, but why does it takes so long?  is there a better way to do to save time and speed to make the poster banner to look greater than life? even in 200 dpi?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Exporting Files In STP Format

Oct 18, 2011

I imported an .stp file into Inventor 2011, saved it as an .ipt, and edited several features.  When I export this edited file as an .stp and sent it to a client, they said that the file contained multiple errors: it showed no solid bodies (only surfaces), and  the 3D thread feature I created (using a thread cutter and Inventor "Coil" command) did not read correctly (the thread I created was an edit of a previous thread, and apparently the .stp file simultaneously showed the new thread and the old, unedited threads). 

Creating an assembly (.iam) and shrinkwrapping it before exporting as an .stp does not work.

(When I open the stp file I created [in Inventor] the file, of course, reads correctly.  All solid bodies are visible, as well as the single thread.)

How to export an .stp so that it reads correctly in SolidWorks?

AutoCAD .NET :: Undo Transactions Step-by-step Within Command Method

Sep 26, 2013

I have a Command Method which has a loop that opens and commits transactions until the user is finished with it and exits. 

I would like each transaction to be undone separately but the undo command undoes the CommandMethod (along with all the transactions that occurred while in the loop)

Do I need to use the COM StartUndoMark and EndUndoMark to get this working?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Step Or STP Files

Apr 29, 2012

I am trying to insert some valves into my drawing and they have been provided in *.stp or step format by the manufacturer. You can import them to civil 3d using IMPORT, but in Civil 3d the import dialogue does not have step files as an option under the file type drop down.

I am running Civil 3d 2012, and I am unable to install any software for a conversion due to our software restriction policies.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Files Disappear When Saving

Sep 16, 2013

Settings: Inventor 14 - Student version / Window 7 64bit

When I save parts in the library on my harddrive the file does not show subsequently. But if I try to re-save it, I get the statement that the file already exist. 

I cannot find the file anywhere, not even with the windows search function. The file is missing, but somehow present below the surface. 

Besides this did Inventor create several versions of my previous parts (0001, 0002, 0003... etc.)
