I edited the second sketch and attempted to extrude. The first sketch appears to be a layer 0 origin point, The desired geometry resides on the second sketch. Inventor opens a new part file and 2 sketches are present. If you select the "standard" template and it does not exist, Inventor will stop the process. Part Template: Select an active template. I chose the appropriate layer from Model space, Click Nextĭestination for 2D data: New Part, Project wires to 2D sketch Read Content From: AutoCAD or AutoCAD MechanicalĬonfiguration: Default AutoCAD Configuration. I switched to Inventor and executed the Manage> Import command. I thought this path being closed would better enable Inventor to manage the geometry and minimize my element management once imported into Invertor. In AutoCAD I converted all geometry in the letter "G" to a p-line then joined all of those elements to a single, closed path. After a few attempts I chose to focus on a single character of the text string. *As Travis noted above, this process taxes the computer. I purposefully chose a fancy, curvy font with no straight lines. I then converted this text string to a path, exported as a. This started with my attaching a text string (a single word) to a curved path. I chose to tinker around with Inkscape-to-Inventor. This capability is important as it allows a designer to apply more aesthetic, graphical geometry onto features of manufactured parts, allowing us to better incorporate a visual corporate identity (logo's, etc.) synergy into product design.
One could also use Illustrator (like Corel) to easily create organic entities and even "trace" imported image files.
This capability was priceless as text (including fancy Postscript fonts) entities in Illustrator can be manipulated in a manor that CAD programs cannot.įor instance one could manipulate text (skew, rotate, scaled, truncate, align with a path, etc.) then "explode" the text to prepare it for export. I would export Illustrator vector-based data to dxf/dwg format, bring it into AutoCAD to manage these entities (to make sure paths that were intended to be closed were closed, etc.) then easily paste (or import) them into a sketch. I don't really have a solution but, in the past, I had been able to transfer vector entities between Illustrator-to-AutoCAD-to-Solidworks. Unfortunately I'm making the transition from SolidWorks to Inventor and I'm relatively new to the program and having difficulty performing this! Any help would be appreciated, thanks! Change the curves in Inventor from CV to Interpolation Import the DXF into Inventor and convert all the splines to polylines Your post sparked my interest with you post:
The prob then is that inventor doesn't like the file, I can do my ultimate goal of running tool paths on the extruded closed contours, but I deal w/ EXTREME lag and at least 2-3 crashes per session on a brand new machine w/ good specs. The only real way it works is to export from corel as dxf into autocad -> export wmf into inventor. It's a mess! I've tried EVERYTHING in terms of exporting / importing file types. The problem is that all of the lines come into inventor as separate lines, along with the control points in green with the directional lines. I'm looking for some way to bring in closed contours from corel to extrude. Hello - I'm a teacher in PA and came across your attached post trying to export geometry from corel X7 into inventor2017.
