User Manual

DWG Open
Gain access to existing D design data without
installing or learning AutoCAD software. Open
AutoCAD drawings directly in the Inventor
application so you can view, plot, and measure
using familiar Inventor commands. Incorporate
existing D design data into D design workflows
using Copy and Paste.
Template Synchronization
Open a DWG file in Inventor and automatically
create layers and dimension and text styles based
on the AutoCAD styles in the DWG file, thus
reducing the time required to create drawings that
comply with your customers’ drawing standards.
AutoCAD Blocks from Inventor Views
Reduce the cost of using D for upgrade projects
originally designed in D. This feature generates
AutoCAD blocks from Inventor drawing views so
users can redesign subassemblies using Inventor
and then integrate the new drawing views directly
into the original drawings.
DWG Save
Integrate DWG technology into the D design
workflow to take advantage of existing skills; easily
combine part, assembly, and schematic drawings
data; and streamline communication with suppliers
and partners who rely on DWG technology. This
feature stores Inventor drawing views in the DWG
file to provide view, plot, and measure in AutoCAD
with complete visual fidelity, while preserving fully
associative drawing updates.
