Importing a dwg into a ipt.

Just upgraded to IV 2014 and cannot import a dwg into a part file. I click the icon labeled ACAD within the Insert panel, I am able to select which dwg to import b ut after that it seems as if i never clicked the ACAD icon at all. Any suggestions?

 

Have installed svc pack 1....

I believe you need to have "DWG TrueView" installed on your system as well.

I see Windows 8.1 in your signature..

I wouldn't be surprised if that was the problem...

Why all you nerds had to immediately load 8.1 is beyond me.. Smiley Tongue 

I see there is a hot fix for autocad because after 8.1 you can't import anything...wouldnt' be surprised of the same problem isn't effecting Inventor too..

 

Have you tried to repair install Autocad and Inventor programs after the 8.0 to 8.1 install? just checking..

Others have the same problem.. Seems like 8.1 strikes again..

I'd submit a trouble ticket with autodesk support ASAP

At which point is it failing. Can you get the request DWG file dialogue box. It does take a bit to open. Possibly check your Add-Ins that the DWG translator is available.

Get the update 1 for SP1 for Inventor, this should help with 8.1 woes. That portion of your post was cut-off on my machine. Also select the Inventor Icon and RMB on it and select the Run as Administrator. Also seen some problems with user rights and CC with 8.1 where you need to turn off the UAC.

It may be that Inventor is not fully registered with the operating system.  Please try the procedure below to correct the situation:

1) Press [Windows] key to open Windows' start page

2) Type "cmd" to find "Command Prompt" > right mouse click on it > select "Run as administrator"
 
3) On "Administrator: Command Prompt" window, type cd "c:\program files\autodesk\Inventor 2014\bin" > Enter

 

4) Type inventor /install > Enter
 
5) Wait for 1 min (inventor will be executed background then exit silently)

Hello, I have the same problem, but your solution dosn't help me. I use Windows 7, 64bit and Inventor 2014 with the german language pack. Can you help?

I tired the linked solution above (did everything as I supposed), but when I type inventor /install it says 'inventor' is notrecognized as an internal or external commad, operable program or batch file.

I'm using an Inventor 2014 student version under Windows 8.1 64bit.

Does somebody know how to fix it?

Browse to the same path location using Windows Explorer.

Do you see an Inventor.exe and .ini?

No I can not see anything, but I installed the software on one of my other partitions.

I reinstalled Inventor to my C: drive, and now the solution works correct! I was able to save as an AutoCad dwg!
Thanks for your help!
