of the inventor ad autocad

[Brethil]

Bye to all,
I wondered if it was possible to export the views of a .iam or a .idw in the model space of autocad (not paper space) in scale 1:1 and then to quote them, in order not to redesign everything in 2d.. is feasible according to you?

thanks to all in advance

from the iam towards autocad do not carry anything.
from the idw come out of inventor dwg (in paper space) or dwg of autocad (in model space ).
the generated dwg is a normal dwg, as it was designed native in autocad (net of the thousands of overlapping lines that you would not have with autocad).
Clearly, once you get out of autocad dwg, you lose all associativeties with the iam model and its idw table.

Bye.

thank you for the answer, but how do you understand how to get out of idw in dwg autocad (model space)? and once done I can go into the cad model and quote the design? I may not have grasped well, but that's what I need. .association with the original does not disturb me, the important thing that manages to export in the model falls my file in real scale and quota it. . I wait for news.
Thank you.

with open idw, from the icon at the top to sx --> export --> export to dwg --> from the window opening choose export to dwg of autocad and get what you want.
export is always in 1:1, except when in idw you have different scales, in which case you have to pay attention to how the conversion is performed (I have never faced the problem trying to understand the logic, so I abstain from giving further indications)

genius! !
Thank you, forgive my serious and lacunous ignorance, but it was a century I went crazy to try to do all this.

thank you very much for support ^_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

My grave and lacunous ignorance

It is not said that you should know everything.
I am on this prog. there are from 5.3 and I am sure I do not know how to use it at best, fortunately here is always some useful info.

Bye.

good morning maybe I'm coming a little late, but with autocad mechanical you can connect the 3d model to your table and make all the views you need. I am trying to optimize the system trying to understand pros and cons. This however decreases the design time no longer having to make the idw table and then export it.

I get spontaneous a question, but why dare to make the tables in autocad when you can do the same work in inventor with the advantage ( huge) of having the association with model 3d?

exact: make the table directly from inventor starting from the dwg model and not idw.

a little off-topic: While I would never share an inventor model with autocad, I would not mind creating autocad blocks to be able to insert in the lay-outs as xrif and that remain connected to model 3d: So far I haven't been able, but I understand that cad77 is capable. . .

with inventor you can create blocks within each file. in your case I would make a folder blocks where I put ipts with the only sketch quoted and bound. At this point you can put them in the axieme and you only have part 2d. modifying the ipt sketch modifies the axieme.

I would like to put them in autocad... I explain: I make the car, I put the dwg block in the lay out 2d with autocad and I'd like to update the car... This is because attempts to import complex planes into inventor (and work as I would prefer, be clear!) usually end up with an error message :tongue:. I often spend huge lay-outs with 3d to 2d export fruit machine designs and absurd weights.

hi as already said I'm seeing how to do this implementation between inventor and autocad mechanical.
I attach the file found in the help where you notice the interesting thing is that the two remain associative and you can recover data from inventor.
I need to do some evidence as soon as I find time.
regarding the fact of working in inventor dwg is to be assessed if you want to have all the sheets in a unique file
(working in paper space) or a sheet file in model space.
attention that if you need drawings for fast assembly in autocad at any time you can export the sheet with
the particular neccessary in a file as a model is here will be to be paid attention because the piece will be scaled.
are ttuent evaluation that we are also facing to reduce time and not do things twice.
