HOW TO CUSTOMIZE IMPORTED OBJECTS FROM AUTOCAD 2011 TO INVENTOR IN INVENTOR?

Hi,

I would like to customize the dimensions of a part in inventor after importing from autocad 2011.

I could able to see only the option available using fx parameters, when a part is modeled scratch from sketch.

If there is an interface between various products, then this option is help full to model it easily.

Are you talking about 3D models / 2D Models? When you import a 3d model, you only have limited editing capabilities of the actual model. You can create new sketches and add / remove features or use move face etc. But you can't really modify the model parametrically. It's not a native Inventor file.

For a 2D AutoCAD import you can import it into a Part or a drawing, add constraints, dimensions and modify it from there.

If you are just talking about editing this part without using the API / Macros etc? If not, what kind of editing are you trying to do?
