I just want a 3D object whose top view is equal to the scheme of the drawing
I do not understand what kind of result you expect, sorry.

Because you have multiple sketches in your drawing, I assume you are trying to use all the lines together into one object. I think the easiest way would be exporting the IDW into AutoCAD DWG format, then in AutoCAD selecting all lines and copying those to the Clipboard, and finally pasting those into a new Inventor sketch for a part (see attached). The hardest job from there is to close out any loops (to form areas) so you can extrude it however you would like.
Hi! As a veteran in CAD industry, I have seen serious attempts to address 2D -> 3D conversion in the past. The result is mixed. I have not seen a robust technology bringing multiple 2D views (of a 3D model in different directions) to recreate a 3D model.
The idea is absolutely great but the implementation can be crazily challenging. To certain degree, it is a bit like turning a book into a movie programmatically. For a simple case, it may work. As soon as some detail is added, the return on investment quickly diminishes.
Take the dimensions aside. A 2D drawing view genetically lacks the depth. This critical information is a major hurdle to reconstruct the 3D geometry. Also, many old 2D drawing views may represent the ideal machinable geometry based on the designer. They may not truly represent how the 3D model should look like in the given direction and scale.
So, the solution is to create the model in 3D as it should be. Then the drawing views are generated like camera shots in different angles. When the model changes, the drawing will update accordingly.
Many thanks!
