After upgrading from Inventor 2012 to 2015 I am unable to copy geometry from AutoCAD 2015 and paste into a sketch in Inventor 2015.

Hi
Before upgrading, I would open the needed AutoCAD drawing and select the needed geometry. All I would do is clipboard copy, then in Inventor I would just paste and the geometry would be there. When I paste into Inventor, Inventor acts like it is doing something but no geometry appears. My co-worker upgraded at the same time as me, and he is able to do that still, but I can't at my computer. I will try what you suggested and post if that solves my problem. Thanks.
Hi!
Are you shure that the irt doesn't anything??
Have you tried to double click the mouse wheel to see all the geometry in the sketch? Lots of times the geometry is far away the center point and therefore we think that isn't there, but if you double click the mouse wheel (or zoom all) we see the pasted geometry in one corner of the monitor.
Also a great advantage to using the insert ACAD is that you can also can make a selection of the geometry you want to insert in inventor by a drag selection or by layer, but the great advantage is that inventor can also fix some gaps (close open loops comming from autocad) and can also insert automatic constraints (this last option, the constrains, deactivate if the geometry is too complicated... it's time consuming, but thr close gaps, use it always).

I have double clicked on the mouse wheel and nothing still. I just tried to use "insert ACAD" but still dont get anything either.
That is actually another problem I am having, I am not able to save copy as an AutoCAD drawing or a DXF. And I don't have administrator previledge. Could all these problems be due to my system being just short of the requiremens? I have 64-bit, i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz, 12 GB RAM.
Hi! It seems that DWG TrueView was not properly installed or registered. Could you take a look at the solution in the following thread?
Does it help?
Thanks!
That worked, thank you! I still can't clipboard copy from AutoCAD into Inventor, but insert ACAD worked now so I will just use that from now on. I can also save copy as AutoCAD DWG and DXF. Again, Thank you very much!
HI!
That's what I was thinking... 🙂
Try to do that (copy paste) with administrator previleges... if it works one time... it will work later in any account. (it needs to write something in registry one time, so you must be in admistrator).
