Import DWF into Inventor assembly

Hello

 

I am just trying to find a way to import a dwf file into inventor as a dummy model.

I want to be able to create/assemble parts around the dwf model and make sure they fit.

 

I was hoping to save having to put the files into Navisworks and constantly check for clashes...

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

Hello,

 

I don't believe you can bring a DWF into any of the native CAD programs from which they are created.  A STEP or IGES might work better for you if all you want is a "dummy" model.  My question would be, if you have a DWF... do you have the original model that it came form?  If so you can create one of these formats that will work in Inventor.

This works for 2D. I don't know about 3D.

Sometimes you just need a good old reboot.
