Inventor Freeform Keep Mesh Wireframe Format When Finish Editing Like AutoCAD

Anonymous — Mon, 14 May 2018 21:36:55 GMT

I am new to free form modelling. Is there a way to export a freeform wireframe to autocad format?

Thanks

Hello,

Once complete free form, the surface will convert to a normal surface, you can export to AutoCAD DWG for it.

Click File -> Export -> Export to DWG and select AutoCAD DWG format.

Hope it helps!

Hi @Anonymous,

did you create the model in inventor, if so what do you want to do in autocad with it
Do it completely in inventor finished the work.

Hi @Anonymous,

That's what I thought

please show me what you want to build, then i will show you the way in the Inventor, do you already have experience with freiform (surface models).

Hi! This is an interesting request. Indeed, we have heard some feedback wanting to keep the Freeform frame when the body is converted to Brep body. The issue is that by doing so, the body will become unnecessarily complicated.

I see your point of keeping it. Maybe we should provide an option to allow the frames to stay. Could you report it as an idea on Inventor Ideas forum?

Many thanks!

I want to use the wireframe to setout flat panels to cladding the building.(imaging the whole wiremesh is a complicated shaped building needed to be cladded.)

If you want to build something like that, then I need more information,
otherwise I can not help you
that can be easily built with inventor (freeform or surface model)

Isn't this the same image already posted?

Split or Project Cut Edge to get your wireframe mesh.

Attach your *.ipt file here and end all doubt.
