Convert from dwg to ard

[Anonymous]

Hello!

I have been asked if I can convert some drawings from dwg to the file format .ard (used in Artios CAD software). What I can see Inventor does not support .ard, but is there any way to convert the files anyway? Or is there a "universal" file format for 2D-drawings that can be opened in both programs?

Hi! Inventor drawing can be exported as dwg, dxf, dwf, pdf, and image formats. Sorry for my ignorance! I have never heard of ard file. Couldn't you use dwg (the standard drawing format)? Inventor 2021 can save back to very old AutoCAD dxf/dwg (2000) if it helps a bit.

Many thanks!
