USDz export not working

[erikQ73WT]

Hi

I have used the USDz export a few times, and every time I struggle to get it right. Right now I can't make it work. I use the 2023.4 version, but when exporting USDz, nothing happens. I recal there was an issue naming the file only with ANSI-letters, but I still can't export the file. Please help, I got a customer waiting.

cheers

Hi! If possible, please share the file here or send it to me directly [email protected]. I would like to understand the USDx export issue. You may want to try the exact same workflow in Fusion 360 to see if it works there. It could be used as an alternative workflow for the time being.

Many thanks!

Hi

I still haven't seen a solution to this problem. Has anyone experienced similar problems? If so, how did you resolve it?
Looking forward for a solution.

Many thanks

Hi Erik,

Please feel free to send me the file directly [email protected]. I would like to understand why the file cannot be exported to USDz from Inventor.

Many thanks!

I got the same isue. (Inventor 2023.5)

My project is saved on a server. When i try to export to USDz, i see the blue windows loading circle, 30sec later when the circle disappears no file has been saved in the folder i selected.
when i copy the whole project to my download folder (local) exporting to USDz does work.

@AlekV_Machinova Hello, and welcome!

As mentioned in the earlier posts, if you send the file to @johnsonshiue he may be able to take a look at it for you.  Thanks!

Hi 

I have now tried to export USDz when updating to Inventor 2025, and it works fine.
The only problem now is that the exported USDz file does not follow the coordinate system.

If I have the Z axis up in the Inventor model, the USDz model does not orient itself according to the location from inventor.
