Export Data

You can export Autodesk Inventor Fusion parts and assemblies to other CAD system formats. The export operation for part and assembly files creates files as if they were created in the native CAD system format. The use of the exported files in the native CAD system is typically seamless.

The export operation does not maintain associativity with the Autodesk Inventor Fusion file. Changes to the Autodesk Inventor Fusion file after the export operation do not affect the exported part or assembly. Likewise, changes to the exported part or assembly do not affect the Autodesk Inventor Fusion file.

When you save Inventor Fusion data, it is saved to a 2010 format DWG file. You can choose to save as an AutoCAD 2009 format DWG file. Inventor Fusion model intelligence is not preserved in the AutoCAD 2009 DWG file. The model is exported as AutoCAD solids.

Export Data to Other Formats

You can export solid data in the following file formats:

• Catia V5R18, parts and assemblies
• Pro/ENGINEER Granite 6.0
• STEP AP203E2
• Autodesk Shape Manager SAT 7.0
• DXF

You can export viewing and faceted data in the following file formats:

• STL
• DWF
• IGES 5.3
• VRML

To save Autodesk Inventor Fusion files to other file formats:

1. Select Save As.
   
2. In Save as type, select the appropriate file type from the list.
   
3. Enter the file name. If you do not enter a file name extension, the file is saved with the extension of the selected file type.
4. Click Save to export the Autodesk Inventor Fusion data to the file.
