Inventor makes it easy for users of AutoCAD
®
software to
realize the benefits of Digital Prototyping by leveraging
investments in AutoCAD expertise and DWG
™
design data.
AutoCAD Integration
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 customers’ drawing standards.
Ease of Use
Reduce the time and training required for
AutoCAD users to become proficient in D
design workflows. Simplify the transition from
AutoCAD software to Inventor in a familiar design
environment with recognizable icons, AutoCAD-
compatible shortcuts, cursor-based prompts,
and command redo. User profiles enable users to
configure Inventor to match the way they work,
with out-of-the-box profiles for AutoCAD and
Inventor experts. In addition, users can transfer
their settings between dierent computers by
exporting the profile to XML.
Inventor delivers the
industry’s leading
integration of D and
D design, providing
direct read and write
of native DWG files,
while maintaining full
associativity to the
D model—without
the need for data-
compromising
translators.
With Inventor, reuse
valuable data with
rapid access to existing
D information. And,
because users can save
drawings as DWG files,
they can easily share
insights gained from the
digital prototype with
partners and suppliers
who rely on AutoCAD
software. Views
generated from D part
and assembly designs,
such as schematics and
plant layouts, can also be
combined with AutoCAD
data. Users can then
update D drawings by
inserting a view of new
D designs—reducing
the cost of upgrading
existing equipment.
