Hi - we are a large manufacturing organisation and currently are using Inventor 2014 for our product design and day to day production drawing. We purchased Inventor 2014 recently for its BIM transfer capabilities. It would appear however that we can only view the outcome of the transferred files fron Inventor within Revit its self.
As we do not require Revit for any production work, purchasing a Revit licence is not an option. I recently downloaded the trial version of Revit Architecture to review the transfer files but the trial licence is now ready to expire. Can Autodesk offer any solution to this problem?
Regards
Lee
If you are a customer of any ultimate edition you have direct access to Autodesk suport. Go to your subscription page and use the support. 24h x 5 days i think.

That's quite often the case when you export a file to another systems "native" format. If you don't have the application to test the output - you are, er, "stuffed". For example, if export a ProEngineer file from Inventor you can't test the validity of that file unless you have ProEngineer. Your Revit scenario is no different, and I'm not sure it's Autodesk's responsibility to provide you with mechanism for that testing.
A "cost effective" option would be to buy Revit LT. It gives you the same Revit functionality without the multi-user capabilities for a fraction of the cost.
Hope that helps.
We use both Revit and Inventor and my problem is that files I was able to convert from Inventor to Revit in 2013 I am not able to convert in 2014. I'm hoping I don't have something setup right so I can fix it.
