Autodesk Inventor Takes You Beyond 3D to Digital Prototyping
With Autodesk® Inventor® 3D mechanical design software, you can create a single digital model that gives you the ability to design, visualise and simulate your product so you can reduce your reliance on costly physical prototypes, gain competitive advantage and get more innovative products to market faster.
This is a powerful, design-improving solution. And it is why with Autodesk Inventor you go beyond 3D to Digital Prototyping.
AutoCAD and DWG Interoperability
Use AutoCAD® software expertise and DWG™ file design data seamlessly.
Mechatronics
Integrate 2D and 3D electrical and mechanical designs.
Plastics
Design, analyse and create high-quality moulded parts rapidly.
Simulation
Predict how your design will work under real-world conditions.
Design Automation
Generate designs and drawings of common components automatically.
Sheet-Metal
Simplify and speed up the design of complex sheet-metal parts.
Routed Systems
Automate and accelerate the design of tools for complex routed systems.
Interoperability
Improve communication and accurately exchange data between common CAD file formats.
Digital Prototyping
Design, visualise and simulate a complete product before it is built.
MCAD Innovation
Autodesk drives product development innovation in the manufacturing, automotive and transportation markets.
AutoCAD and DWG Interoperability
For more than 25 years, AutoCAD® software has been one of the world’s leading design and documentation solutions. And with true DWG™ file support, Inventor users can share critical design data securely, efficiently, and accurately.
Autodesk® Inventor® software makes it easy for AutoCAD users to experience the benefits of Digital Prototyping with reduced training time, AutoCAD compatible shortcuts, cursor-based prompts and command redo functionality.
Highlights include:
- Interoperability with AutoCAD Mechanical—Document and annotate drawings of Inventor components quickly with AutoCAD® Mechanical software. Change the design in Inventor, and the AutoCAD Mechanical drawing is updated automatically.
- DWG Save—Store Inventor drawing views in a DWG file to view, plot and measure in AutoCAD with full visual fidelity, while preserving associative drawing updates.
- Direct DWG Open—Open AutoCAD drawings directly in Inventor to view, plot, measure and incorporate existing 2D design data into 3D design workflows.
- AutoCAD blocks—Generate AutoCAD blocks from Inventor drawing views to redesign subassemblies. Then, integrate the new drawing views directly into the original drawings.
- Template synchronisation—Open a DWG file in Inventor and automatically create layers, dimensions, and text styles based on the AutoCAD styles in the DWG file. Synchronise templates to save time creating drawings that comply with customers' standards.
Manufacturers who use Autodesk Inventor software possess world-leading 2D and 3D mechanical engineering software. All software bundles that have Inventor software also include the latest version of AutoCAD® Mechanical design software, so you can continue to take advantage of the AutoCAD built for you.
