Inventor ressources?

[sm4rt]

Hi all, I'm actually searching around the web some sites like 3dcontentcentral. Do you know some other sites like that which give some 3d models done by the community? I'm also searching some inventor ressources like "drawing viewer template" or "title block" without any success... Do you know where to find some template? (I'm quite surprise that this type of thing is so difficult to find... Community seems to be quite big but it seems that there is not any exchange of templates files?)

How about Grabcad, 3D model sharing , cblis

I also know some Solidworks sites like zxys , 3D cad browser

KNowing that you can callup Solidworks models in Inventor these should not be an issue.

On the subject of templates, you will find that most companies customise their templates to suit their own needs. Because of this, I'm sure most companies would not want to share such templates.

You can of course create your own custom templates in Inventor, adding special colors, features, title blocks etc...

Use the help files and/or the Wiki to find out how to do what you would like to do with your templates.

Happy Inventing!

Ok thanks Cadmanto for these links.

That's true that companies have not any interest to share their template files...

But I'm quite surprise that the "open source" community do not share anything like template, textures, surfaces etc.

Like autocad, sketchup communities (and other software) do...

For Autocad I've found some "scripts" libraries websites few mouth ago for example.

Thanks for answering.
