Inventor DWG editing in AutoCAD

[Logos_Atum]

Hello there,

it seems like an easy step but I´m not getting

AutoCAD to edit Inventor´s DWG output from

an idw file open to edit it in AutoCAD. I´m ex-

perimenting with it right now to make it happen.

Is there a predefined workflow already that I

might have missed out? I would need to acess

the geometry directly to add dimensions ect.

I already thought about saving to an old format

to get rid of the blocks.

Kind regards

Daniel

Hello there, it´s solved 🙂

It´s quite simple, got it together after

some tries and even found a web

source.

Open you Inventor DWG in AutoCAD,

change to model view and use the

“Insert” command as under “Block”.

From the dropdown of the appearing win-

dow you now can select the views as present

in the model space as blocks.

Once inserted you can explode the blocks if

you need to and edit all of the geometry as

you wish to.

In a final step delete the sheet with the inven-

tor views.

Hope this works for you
