Features
Autodesk® Inventor® software CAD interoperability enables you to streamline projects that require opening files in various formats. You can also deliver 3D design data to clients and vendors in native file formats.
Read and Write Files from Third-Party CAD Tools
Save time working with third-party CAD data, thanks to comprehensive translators. Easily accept and supply data in a customer's preferred format and industry standards, including IGES and STEP.
Comprehensive CAD Interoperability
Streamline projects that require opening and delivering 3D design files in native formats. Easily exchange data between Inventor and CATIA® V5™, Siemens® NX™, SolidWorks®, and Pro/ENGINEER®. Inventor supports direct import and export of CATIA V5, JT™ 6, JT™ 7, Parasolid®, and PTC® GRANITE® files. It also supports direct import of Siemens-NX, SolidWorks, Pro/ENGINEER, and SAT files.
STEP/IGES
Share and reuse design data between 3D CAD/CAM systems for more accurate collaboration. Read and write design and drawing data using industry-standard formats.
Construction Environment
Save time inspecting and repairing customer data files. The Inventor construction environment offers fault-tolerant import of large STEP and IGES data sets. Quarantine entities containing geometric problems, such as surface slivers and mismatched boundary curves. Then, use the comprehensive toolkit to inspect, edit, and correct quarantined entities, including solids, surfaces, wireframes, and points. Correct and promote data sets into 3D part models, surfaces, or 3D wireframes.
AEC Exchange
The architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) exchange tool creates and publishes simplified 3D representations, intelligent connection points, and additional information using the Autodesk Package Files format (.adsk ) to facilitate exchange of data with Autodesk® Revit® MEP and Autodesk® Revit® Architecture software.
