I logic and layers

Hi, 

 

Does anyone know if its possible to use layers from autocad to perform modeling tasks in inventor, possibly using I logic? 

 

For example could layer 1 perform a 20mm extrusion or layer 2 perform a 10mm cut? 

 

We do something very similar on our cnc routers. Different layers will perform different machining operations.

 

Thanks

It is possible in general. When you import DWG to new part, geometries from every layer are imported to sketch with name by layer.

Later on you can do modeling operations  with this sketches as you want. For more information see API reference, because it depends on your needs.
