To import Autodesk Inventor files

  1. Choose File > Import > File .
  2. Choose Autodesk Inventor options.
  3. Put a check mark next to Nurbs if you want curves and surfaces converted to NURBS geometry. Put a check mark next to Meshes if you want polygonal geometry converted to Meshes.
  4. Click Import File.
  5. Browse to and select an Autodesk Inventor part or assembly file (*.ipt or *.iam).
  6. Click Open.

The translator automatically launches and imports the file.

Note

To maintain the original positioning and orientation of part files in your scene, import the assembly file. Importing part files before the assembly file positions all of them at the origin (0,0,0) and removes the original positioning.
