Autodesk® Inventor® software products offer a flexible set of tools for 3D mechanical design, CAD productivity, design communication, product simulation, routed systems, and mold design. With Inventor software, you can integrate 2D AutoCAD® drawings and 3D data into a single digital model, creating a virtual representation of the final product that can enable you to validate the form, fit, and function of the product before it is ever built.
Complications around reusing valuable legacy 2D data and sharing non-native CAD data are one of the largest drains on engineering productivity. Inventor 2012 continues to expand its ability to use data from other CAD sources and provide industry-leading integration of 2D and 3D data.
- Import and translation improvements—Inventor 2012 includes support for new versions of Rhino, CATIA®, Parasolid®, and NX®.
- Open 3D DWG—Import AutoCAD surfaces and wires. Materials applied in the AutoCAD file persist in the Inventor file after translation.
- Model repair environment—Provides both automated and interactive repair tools that identify areas in non-Inventor design data that might cause difficulty in downstream usage.
- Inventor Fusion—Easily modify geometry no matter the source, including precise positioning of new points on an edge.
