![]() Users can edit files in AutoCAD with certain limitations. ![]() There are no model-space or 3D objects in the file. Each sheet of the Inventor DWG file becomes a flat, 2D layout in paper space in AutoCAD. Inventor DWG files can be opened in AutoCAD 2008 with an interesting twist. If a user changes a model, the DWG file will update, and if he or she changes a dimension in the drawing that was retrieved from the model, the model changes. Inventor DWG files remain fully parametric and associative back to the Inventor solid model. Better than that, it isn't just a one-time translation when you're finished. Inventor 2008 will now let you create a 2D drawing file in DWG format. Hold on! Isn't DWG supposed to be AutoCAD's format?Ĭorrect. It continues to support its native IDW format, but users can use its new DWG format as well. ![]() Some have said that it's now so AutoCAD-compatible that it's finally a full member of the family, and so Autodesk has switched to the year-based version numbering of other products (perhaps also because 12 was getting too close to unlucky 13).īy far, the biggest news in Inventor 2008 is its support for a new file format when creating 2D working drawings from a 3D part or assembly. Inventor 2008 finally makes the great leap forward in AutoCAD compatibility. This matter of compatibility has changed with each successive release, as Inventor has become capable of importing AutoCAD geometry. In fact, a worthy competitor bragged that its parametric modeler was more compatible with AutoCAD than Inventor was. When I first saw a prerelease version of Inventor 1, Autodesk emphasized that the product was Auto desk Inventor, not Auto CAD Inventor.
