Choose default units (mass, time, angle) when importing other CAD formats

Choose default units (mass, time, angle) when importing other CAD formats

Hello,

 

At this moment Inventor (2020) gives you the ability to choose the length units of a document when importing a CAD file.

 

I would like to see also the other units (that you can choose in the file documents menu) included in this import screen.

Right now we have to manually check if an imported file's angle units are set as radians or degree. Including all 4 units (analogue to the length settings) would smoothen the general workflow. And it would minimize the need to go from 'screen to screen'.

 

I know you can add an iLogic script to do this but it seems more logical to include this feature as 3 extra drop-down menus.

 

I have included 2 pictures for clarity:

Current Document Settings-screen:
