Wow, that's a beast. I doubt there's an easy way, but it may help if you include the version of Inventor you're using. I'm guessing you may have to cheat a little on the liner overlaps. Also, it's somewhat unclear what's going on where the upper liner plates transition from cone to cylinder.

Just a reminder, there is no way to "convert" a newer version file to an older version.

 

I suspect karthur provided you a file created in 2010 or earlier for you.

Sorry about that.  Try this one.  Pretty sure it was done with 2010.

 

On a side note, what service packs do you have installed?  You can find them here for 2010.

Is there an easy way to make a round to square trans. in autocad similar to the one posted?   I'm needing the flat and formed layout.

Before we started using Inventor, I would do this in Autocad.  If you have Inventor, curious why you would even want to use Acad (unless you just want to learn how of course)?

 

Its much easier to do in Inventor.

 

I'll have to search around and see if I can find one that was done "manually".
