Why Open/Save DWG in Autodesk Inventor?
DWG interoperability is designed to be flexible and can be used in many different ways. The following are examples of a few workflows: Copy AutoCAD data directly into an Autodesk Inventor sketch without opening AutoCAD. View, plot, and measure AutoCAD data in Autodesk Inventor and Autodesk Inventor data in AutoCAD. Add Autodesk Inventor drawing data to existing AutoCAD files or AutoCAD data to Inventor drawing files to make a single file containing assembly drawings, schematic diagrams, and details. If you have customers using AutoCAD, supply AutoCAD customers with drawings containing Autodesk Inventor data containing the appropriate layers, blocks, titleblocks, and borders by creating a DWG template in Autodesk Inventor. (Note: Creating a DWG template in Autodesk Inventor streamlines the translation workflow.) Reuse Autodesk Inventor data in AutoCAD: Create associative drawing views in architectural drawings for plant layouts, etc. Deliver views of finished 3d design created in Autode
