STEP File to Inventor LT Feature recognition

[AnthonyRajecki]

Hi everyone

I have opened a STEP file in fusion 360 and used the find feature process and saved the file as a new version

Fusion 360 finds the features OK.

When I open the file in inventor LT 2014 the features recognized by Fusion 360 are not displayed all I get is the dumb solid again.

I am trying to get the features listed in the inventor lt browser so I can edit the model correctly

Is there something I'm missing here

any suggestions would be appreciated.

thanks

Tony

Hi Tony,

Thanks for reaching out!

May I ask that which format did you choose when you 'saved the file as a new version'? If you saved it as .f3d, Inventor LT 2014 should not be able to open it.

Thanks,

When fusion finds features these are direct features, not features with history. These feature will not come over to Inventor LT.

I would get the Inventor feature recognition app from the exchange app store.

Thanks for replies

I understand this now

I was looking for history in the features but now I understand that rarely would the complete model need modifying

it would only be certain features
