Autodesk Inventor

[#1]

hi im wondering if it is possible to convert a 2D dxf to 3D in 2012 inventor? I couldnt do after I downloaded the updates for 2D to 3D conversion. I wonder if such a conversion is only available for 2D DWG files

You should be able to open the DXF file with Autocad that ships with Inventor and save to DWG

hi,

I have no idea why I couldnt convert the 2D to 3D even though I have downloaded the 2D to 3D tool and tried to follow the tutorial online.

Can someone help me to convert this file?

A lot of the utilites in Inventor are looking for a specific file format, such as "Place Component". It won't run the conversion program, this is only done with the File-Open command.

You need to open this file in Autocad, not Inventor and do the conversion there and do a Save-As to DWG in Autocad. I am at home and need my install media to configure Autocad for a couple of updates before I can open Autocad

I had no trouble opening directly in Inventor and create the 3D solid parts.

I didn't need AutoCAD.

How much Inventor training have you had?

I have never tried converting 2D drawings from outsource companies to 3D autodesk inventor 

I followed the steps in 

http://cadsetterout.com/resources/autocad-inventor-2d-to-3d-conversion/

I just dont understand why I couldnt select the drawing for base and projected view. 

May I know how did you do it?

Thanks

I have never used any "2D to 3D converter".

Pretty simple geometry to create myself.
