Symbols in Drawing

[Jose_Merino]

We have a Symbol (elevation Symbol) in our Inventor 2014, but now we are using Inventor 2016, and we need those symbols in our drawings, how can I copy those symbols and put in my new Inventor's version.

Thank You.

Is it a sketched symbol?

If so you can use the drawing resource transfer wizard located in the autodesk folder under your windows start menu.. In there you select the drawing with the symbol and then hit next and select the drawings (or template drawing) you want that symbol transferred into..

Why isn't it in there already if it was in your templates before? Or was it just in a drawing and not in a template?

Yes it's a sketched symbol, but I want to transfer to our New border in Inventor 2016. and this sketched symbol is in Inventor 2014. I can't find my windows start menu.

Thank You.

Its the button you use to access all programs in the Windows Operating System..

On Windows 10 its now a Window icon in the lower left of your screen... Its the button you use to start/find any program installed on your computer..

This is the third time i try it, and it doesn't work, it only show me this message, and if I hit next, he remains thinking, like a long time and doesn't do anything else.

Thank you.

You should be using the transfer wizard for 2016 not 2014...
