Inventor .3ds export

Hello,

can you help me.

Is there a way to export from inventor into .3DS format.

I need it to import objects info Relux, to add lights.

Thanks!

Hi!

3DS can open inventor files directly.

Yes, but I need:

Inventor -> .3ds export -> import to Relux

If you have 3DS, open Inventor files in 3DS and save as.

If you dan't have 3DS, In inventor you can save as OBJ file. Check if Relux can open these king of files.

Well... try the DXF.

If you have Autocad.

Export Inventor file as DWG Autocad.

In Autocad, export DWG as DXF.

I want 3D, not 2D import.

Hi! Another option is to export Inventor files as fbx files. Relux CAD might be able to import fbx files.

@gregor.leban How many parts are you talking about? I have Moi (Moment of Inspiration), you can export from IV as .step then open the .step in Moi and then export as .3dm.

If you don't have too many parts I can convert them for you.

well check out Moi, I believe there is a 45 day trial (full tool set) and then it's only about $400, if you get it I can show you the work flow, (very simple)... I only use the software for poly conversion and export
