Automated Export Files

[Anonymous]

Hey all,

Ive been asked whether its possible to automate the process of exporting files through inventor. I have no real experience with righting scripts for Inventor (Im more of an AutoCAD person) so am looking for your guidance whether its possible then I will try and learn 🙂 

We have had several files (.jt, .sat, etc) which we need exporting to .obj for us to use. We are basically wanting to drop the .jt file into a folder and it automatically exports to .obj.  I see this is highly unlikely without opening inventor (unless you tell me otherwise). So the next option would be to have a one click button after opening Inventor to export multiple files as .objs I guess. 

I look for your thoughts as I dont really know where to start or if its worth it as exporting is pretty much a one-click after opening the file anyway.

Cheers,

Caroline

You can write script files that will open inventor, perform the necessary operations, and close inventor all with one click.
