Use the Project DWG Geometry command to project DWG geometry, polylines, open or closed loops, and DWG blocks.

You can add assembly relationships to underlay geometry.

Quickly insert an AutoCAD DWG file in an Inventor part file as a DWG underlay using the Import command in the 3D Model tab, Create panel.

The options for importing CATIA, SolidWorks, Pro-E/Creo, NX, Alias, STEP, IGES, Rhino, SAT, Parasolid Binary files are simplified and provide clear choices for import.

As a result, you will experience improved performance when working on files from other CAD systems. This allows Inventor to more efficiently use the available hardware on which Inventor is running.

Multi-thread support has been enabled.

Selective import support allows you to only read in the geometry that is important to you, speeding the import process: The new Select tab provides you the option to specify which objects to import when importing a CATIA, SolidWorks, Pro-E/Creo, NX, Alias, STEP, IGES, or Rhino file.

The imported geometry in Inventor updates as the model changes.

An associative import of CAD data from CATIA, SolidWorks, NX, Pro-E/Creo, and Alias files allows you to maintain a link to the selected file.

New Technology for Importing Files from other CAD Systems.
