AEC Exchange
The AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and
Construction) Exchange tool creates and pub-
lishes simplified D representations, intelligent
connection points, and additional information in
native file formats for AutoCAD
®
MEP software.
Users can also export D geometry to AutoCAD
®
Architecture, Revit
®
-based software, and
AutoCAD software.
Native Translators
Streamline projects that require opening files from
vendors or customers in native formats. Deliver D
design data to customers or vendors who prefer
native file formats. Users can easily exchange data
between Autodesk Inventor, UGS,
®
SolidWorks,
®
and Pro/ENGINEER
®
by importing and export-
ing Parasolid,
®
importing UG-NX,™ importing
SolidWorks, importing and exporting Granite, and
importing Pro/ENGINEER directly with Inventor.
STEP/IGES
Simplify accurate collaboration with suppliers and
customers by enabling sharing and reuse of design
data with D CAD/CAM systems. Read and write
design and drawing data using industry-standard
formats.
Construction Environment
Reduce the time required to inspect and repair
customer data files. The Inventor Construction
Environment provides fault-tolerant import of
large STEP and IGES data sets, with a quarantine
to hold entities containing geometric problems
such as surface slivers and mismatched bound-
ary curves. The construction environment also
includes a comprehensive toolkit for inspecting,
editing, and correcting quarantined entities,
including solids, surfaces, wireframes, and points.
Data sets can be corrected and promoted into D
part models, surfaces, or D wireframes.
