Inventor idw to autocad dwg automatically

[francesco.tonioni]

When exporting to Autocad DWG file there are some options available, Layout, Model etc.. but the most requested option is missing: customers would like to export IDW to Layout DWG as it is in Inventor PLUS the model views in 1:1 scale connected to the layout views, as it is in pure Autocad.

This is partially achievable with Inventor DWG opened in Autocad, but customer would like a pure unlinked to Inventor clean Autocad DWG.

I suggest adding an Export to Autocad DWG & Inventor DWG choice in the Export dialog box as shown in the attached image.

We only export files to Autocad DWG for our suppliers but never to Inventor DWG. Our suppliers either can't open Inventor DWG or they can't edit them as they need to. I personally forget to click on Autocad DWG & end up frustrating my suppliers with unusable CAD files.

This way it's clear up front to pick which one you want.

This needs to be an option that Inventor remembers your selection, either Inventor.dwg or my preferred AutoCAD.dwg. I  have to reselect every time I need to export to AutoCAD.dwg. Every extra click to get what you want is time wasted.
