Import step file into autodesk inventor

Use the new project wizard to define your "workspace". Don't get hung up on libraries. Make the project somewhere on your c drive, not across a network. Just make sure you back up regularly. Then, within this workspace location you can create folders and a suitable hierarchy using windows explorer. The complexity of that structure is your choice.

When you import the stp files, you can save during the load and direct the save path to the workspace. I've tried a couple of the stp files already and they came into Inventor as solids with absolutely no snags. Next step is to create a new. I am looking purchasing Fusion Can this be done with little pain? I have a thousand of step files. I have to convert them and create an assembly with them. Is there an automatic procedure that make all the files included in a new assembly?

Assuming those 's of step files each contain a single part, you can use Task Scheduler to translate them in batch mode to individual Inventor part files. Thank you. I have converted all the files in a thousand of ipt. Now, the 3D model source tells me that he has made the step files by CATIA and, between the files, there is a file that it is the "father" of all the files and contains all the constraints to build the assembly. I opened it , but it is a blank ipt. In Inventor is it possible to use such kind of files that contain only the relationships between the.

In Inventor is it possible to use such kind of file that contains the relationships between the. Mybe someone can push me in the direction, happy to do further reading, Links in this thread are down as it seems. Situation: I'm getting thousands of STPs for a large construction. Managed to use task scheduler to some extend, however that brings up 2 issues:.

Others seem to convert fine. Is that because some steps are "parts" single steel plate maybe and others are "assemblies" already? I cannot distinguish the two in the sources, they are all "Files" to me only. I would have hoped Inventor is clever enough to do stp to whatever by itself? Nevermind, I could look at what I get from those files where there are no errors, might be sufficient for what I need to do in the next step. B How do I get all those s of files auto-placed in Inventor?

I can by no means do that by hand. I also have no "mother of steps" referencing them all. And I would think I don't even need that, because:. If I import the same files for testing, a sub-set of them into AutoCAD using a script, they are all placed correctly in relation to 0,0,0.

So, each step contains information on where it goes. How can I make Inventor consider this information? I don't need all those parts in individual parts, I can have them in one assembly.

They don't need to be referenced, they don't need to update later. It would have probably been better to start a new thread and provide link to this thread especially with Solved threads. Depending on how you open or import the STEP, you can probably place all as multi-body into a single part file. Notice: updates available for Apache Log4j vulnerabilities.

If files with the same name exist, the existing files are moved to the Old Versions folder. Click Open. Select the file, and then click Options. If importing surfaces, select Construction Group Mapping to import the data into the construction environment. Select Auto Stitch and Promote to combine surfaces with matching edges into a quilt and promote to the part environment.

Specify whether you want the data mapped in single or multiple construction environment groups, or directly as composite features.
