I have a lot of 3D models in AutoCAD 2005 that I want to use in Inventor 9. But is it possible to convert AutoCAD 3D
models into Inventor ? When I just try to open the *.DWG file in Inventor there come only a empty sketch.
Is it at all possible to open 3D models, that are drawed in AutoCAD, in Inventor ?
Yes it is possible to import Autocad 3D data, although it will become a dumb solid, and you will not be able to edit the features. To import data make sure you have selected to box show in the screenshot below
From the 1st screenshot you sent me...in that dialogue box click next,
You will get a dialogue box which says "Import Destination Options" in which will have another title under it called "Destination for 2D data". I believe you have it set to "New Drawing" which is sending it to and idw. You want to select "NEW PART" and that should put the data into a new ipt template. Just make sure you have the proper template selected
by the way after it imports IV creates 2 files, one that will look empty, (which I am not sure why it creates) and the correct file which will have your part in it
