Work with non-native data

Maintain an associative link as you open 3D models that were created and saved from other CAD applications.

Informed Design for Inventor

 Informed Design for Inventor

Create parametric models, define BIM content, establish product rules, and seamlessly share your products with building design stakeholders through cloud-based collaboration

BIM interoperability

BIM interoperability

Create a simplified 3D representation of your product along with the required metadata and product classification for use in a BIM project.

Fusion interoperability

Quickly access and launch Inventor-to-Fusion workflows, including generative design, simulation, electronics, and manufacturing.

Revit data exchange enhancements

Revit data exchange enhancements

Securely share data between Revit building design software and Inventor using an improved approach for seamless BIM (Building Information Modeling) and MCAD (mechanical CAD) interoperability.

Edge symbol

Edge symbol

Use the new edge symbol feature with appearance settings based in ISO standards and a properties panel with various customisation settings.

Weld symbol

Weld symbol

Create drawing-associated weld and subweld symbols to be included upon export to 3D PDF, DWF, and Shared Views.
