    You can export 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 Inventor Fusion file. Changes to the 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 Inventor Fusion file.
