It looks thats the best you can get from Autodesk.Ĭheck out Utube videos can be very helpful also.ģ.

Than you can again, copy-paste into your new sketch and work it from there. Open the 3d part, choose the most complex side, create a sketch surface and use Project Geometry. Or, if the part was downloaded, step or such. It appears to me, so far, inventor isn't capable of this conversion.Ģ. I too have a load of autocad 2d and stp 3d files to make 3d Inventor, and would be nice to convert to 3d without re-sketching everything. (Oh, and Inventor on Linux would pretty much force Open Office compatibility, since MS doesn't make Office for Linux.No, it's not that your being lazy or looking for an "easy" button, or not willing to learn the program. I don't do a lot of gaming, but Steam is on Linux now, so I'd probably still make out okay. If Autodesk software were available on Linux, I'd probably make the switch and not look back. I'd have to create new email addresses and new accounts just to vote more on that. I'd do my best to vote Chicago-style on that one: early and often. I'd probably give it a vote, though.Īs far as Linux goes. Well, I get MS Office almost for free because of Microsoft's HUP, so it doesn't really matter to me if it's compatible with Open Office. We'll see who gets more votes (my money is on you). Tell you what, you post that one and I'll post one for a Linux port.

I was going to put something on the ideastation then said "whats the point"

Can't the same be said for Windows, in fact? I hate the fact that if I ever want to install Inventor at home I'll have to buy a copy of Windows, first. That's pretty common, actually, expecially in the LInux world. Not sure I've ever seen a program that you need to download another companies software just to use it.
