Converting .IPT Files To .STEP For Use In Creo

Anonymous — Wed, 29 Nov 2017 23:39:21 GMT

Good morning,
I need help in converting models from Inventor to STEP models. I'm working on Creo and my files are in Autodesk format. Would someone have some time to help? I have 122 files to convert. I will be very grateful.
Regards
Marcin

What issue are you encountering with saving as STEP?

Welcome to the Autodesk User's Community..

The way I read this.. You don't have access to Inventor at all and you want someone here to spend time and convert over a 100 files for you, is that a correct assumption? Where did you get these Inventor files from?

I have found a 3D printer project on Thingiverse. There are STL files and Inventor files. As a constructor, I prefer to check them myself in my CAD program before making a machine. Every day I work in Creo and he accepts STEP files that can be improved.

If you do not have Inventor - you can use

https://myhub.autodesk360.com/

to do the conversion.

Cool. I'm checking...

Thanks

I do not have the opportunity to export as in your image. When I click on the icon it downloads the original file.

@JDMather

You have that option because you have Fusion 360.. @Anonymous wouldn't have that function.

So what is the solution? Installing a trial version of Inventor?

You can't use a trial version of Inventor to do that.. It is only used to test to see if it meets your requirements or helps you to make the decision to subscribe to it or not. But you clearly have no intention of subscribing to it since you use another CAD application.

In the end, users here just don't have the time to convert over a hundred files for you. They have their own jobs/requirements. IF you want this done you will need to pay someone or a company to do that for you.

Can't you just import the stl files into CREO?

And doesn't CREO allow importing of Inventor files? (Inventor can open/view creo files I know creo can do the same)

https://www.ptc.com/en/cad-software-blog/ptc-creo-parametric-3-0-makes-it-easier-to-work-in-multi-cad-environments

Or doesn't your 3d printer program have the ability to view the stl files?

Or install a trial of Inventor.. But I really doubt you need to do that as you should be able to open the files (either ipt or stl) in creo.. (unless you have an old version of creo)..

Fusion 360 is free (for most users).

My version of Creo does not support this version of the file. Well. I will manage somehow. Thanks for the good wishes. Regards

The best solution is to use a CAD file converter. CrossManager can do that: http://www.datakit.com/en/cross_manager.php

Unless the product is free you are unable to promote your product here. Its a violation of the forum rules.

@Mark.Lancaster Sorry, i didn't wanted to do just "promotion". I wanted to help people to find this product because i thought that it can be a solution to the problem. Even if it is not free, it can be interesting for people who have many files to convert.

But if it still doesn't match the forum rules, i'm sorry, and you can delete my post.

@Anonymous And what is it you need help for?

Do you have Inventor?

You are a teacher right? (you get Inventor for free if so)
