AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Get Fusion Not To Open
Mar 21, 2013I downloaded a .step file from a construction website URL..... It is of a screw. Anyway I want to edit the screw but when I open it, it opens as a weird ipt. It's like the part is an assembly but it's not a logo that I worked with before. Anyway I right click on the Base1 file and hit edit form. When I do that Autodesk Inventor Fusion opens. Is there a way I can edit this part in normal Autodesk Inventor or do I have to learn how to use the fusion program?

Apr 29, 2011I'm trying to convert a 3D model saved as a .dwg in AutoCAD 2011 to a .stp file using Inventor Fusion Technology Preview. I did it once and it worked perfect. But since, every time I save the .dwg as a .stp in Fusion, it scales the object down to 39% of the original.

Nov 1, 2012I am having a rather complex 3D structure i have buid out of solids in AutoCAD and then colored and finnished in Inventor Fusion. The whole image was made for a journal-cover.
I drew the basic structures in AutoCAD and then transfered to Inventor where there have been added some more smooth edges and a rectangular pattern of 1000 objects.
Now in the end i find out that only one single 3D solid is too big and i want to resize/scale it.
It seems impossible for me to do that in Inventor, so I transfered the whole file back to AutoCAD. Now i have the problem that AutoCAD is recognizing my objects now only as "block references". It is easy to resize the object now, but i do not know how to get the block refences become 3D solids again and transfer them back to inventor.
If i just try to transfer the whole data or save and load Inventor isnt opening anything.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Why No Fusion Ribbon Panel
Apr 27, 2012I was trying to show another user the Edit in Fusion feature in Inventor 2012 but she doesn't have that ribbon panel. We went into the Part tab in Application Options and Inventor Fusion was selected to Edit Base Solids. We even unselected it, applied it, closed the options and then selected it again. But still there is no Fusion panel under the Model tab when editing a part. Yes, it's installed on her machine. We checked.
The only difference is that she's also installed the 2013 suite, as well. I have the Fusion panel and have not installed any 2013 apps.

AutoCad :: If Remove Fusion Inventor Does It Affect 2012?
Jul 3, 2012I have recently put Auto Cad 2012 on my laptop, but seems to be very slow. While doing this fusion inventor also downloaded.I was wondering could I remove Inventor as I don't use it, without that effecting my auto cad program? All I do is just basic 2D drawings on autocad and need to speed it up. Could I also remove Autodesk 2012 libary?
View 3 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Fusion Changes Units From Inches To Centimeters
Jan 16, 2012When I want to edit a solid part in Inventor 2012, I click the "Edit Form" button which automatically launches Fusion. Units are defaulted to cm every time (I don't understand why it can't autodetect units) and the first thing I do is switch them to inches (english). I edit my part then return to Inventor. The part has been resized (smaller by a factor of 2.54) and moved off my original origin. I cannot figure out how to get around this HUGE problem. This has made Fusion useless to me and has drastically reduced the functionality of my ablility to solid edit.
If Fusion is intigrated into Inventor, why does it behave as a totally different product (reversed scroll wheel direction, different units, no refrencing between Inventor features and Fusion, etc.)? It's as if the Fusion programing team and the Inventor programming team met for just long enough to put the Fusion button in Inventor and nothing more.

Apr 26, 2011I get the following error when I try to launch Fusion from within Inventor (or on it's own):
The application is unavailable. There was an error while initializing the graphics subsystem. This is likely due to one or more of the following: your graphics driver is not configured for "True Color", there was a problem installing the application, the application installation was damaged, or some other problem with the graphics hardware and drivers or the configuration of the application. More detailed information may be included below.
Also, when I try to switch to Realistic Visual Style, it will not allow me to. When I go into Application Options, Hardware, and try to set it for Quality it always goes back to Compatibility.

Oct 12, 2011I have an IGES file that, when opened in Inventor, comes in as a single part. In the model tree of the part are 126 Solid Bodies, each with a "Base" in it. The parts are all solids, or appear to be. Is there a way to open this file so Inventor makes each "Body" a separate .ipt file, and the IGES file a .iam file (as it can with a .stp file)? I can't attach the file, as it's 36+Mb....

The 3-D sketch shows up but there is no option to EDIT.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Unfold Imported IGES / SAT Files?
Aug 20, 2010A lot of times our customers will send sheet metal parts for us to manufactur. unfortunately they do not have inventor and/or do not, or won't, send the flat layout. It is possible for me to convert these 3d files into Inventor sheet metal pieces and lay them out so i don't have to re-draw? What are the steps to do so?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Exactly Which IGES Entity Types (and Forms) Are Supported?
Jan 10, 2014I had some success transferring geometries, generated with an advanced math software, to Inventor using IGES files containing Manifold Solid B-Rep Object Entities (Type 186) (see the specification IGES5-3_forDownload-1.pdf). Now I would like to include several Type 186 entities into a single IGES file and form the geometrical unit of these (and them), for which the IGES Boolean Tree Entity (Type 180) seems to exist. I'll do some trial-and-error testing, but it would be very useful to have a (reliable) list of all IGES entities the Inventor IGES import function does or does not support (like these: Transcendata, MoldflowInsight). Unfortunately I could not find such a list anywhere.
Another question: Are the IGES import/export functions of Inventor written by Autodesk (and/)or are third-party libraries used? If the latter, which ones?
AutoCAD Inventor :: Create Drawing From Assembly Of IGES Files?
May 3, 2012I've got some IGES files, which I want to place into an assembly, and then create a drawing of the assembly.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Unable To Import Step / IGES Files
Nov 8, 2011Currently 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 IGES File Not Displaying Properly In A 2D Drawing
Jul 10, 2012I have imported an IGES file in Inventor and I need to dimension and detaill the piece in a 2D drawing. The thread and hole wizard does not recognize the holes in the workpiece as holes. Also I sectional view does not display hatched areas of the workpiece even though I have the display option checked on. Is there any sort of feature recognition within Inventor that I can use to import all geometry so that inventor understands?
I am working with 2011 Pro and have about 1500 hours on the program so far.
I was considering redrawing the workpiece by creating a part within an assembly and overlaying the two pieces on top another and using refernece geometry but this might not be the most ideal method.

Nov 21, 2013I'm having some problems with inventor fusion and autocad mep.I have a solid object that i would like to edit in inventor but i get the unknown command error when entering editinfusion
I went through the cuiload and loaded the cuix. file and now the icon editinfusion shows up on the ribbon. After selecting a solid object and clicking on the icon i get the same error message.
So i went to AutoCAD 2013 (not MEP) and did the same thing and it worked.
My question is, can MEP and fusion work with one another or does this strickly have to be AutoCAD and Fusion?
