Is there a way to export an inventor object to autocad without having to do it as a raster? I have a shaft that has threads on the end and would like to display the 3d object on a cad drawing but keep the threads on the feature. The only way I have found is to do it as a raster but that is not exactly what I am after.

Do you really have threads on the shaft or do you really have a cosmetic representation of threads on the shaft?

 

Are you referring to exporting dwg solid or are referring to saving an idw to dwg?

 

If solid then go to Enviromnents>AEC Exchange>Save as DWG Solids.

I am not finding a AEC Exchange in Inventor 8.

Yikes, I didn't see that. That is ancient. Save Copy as Type ACIS (*.sat) and then issue the acisin command in AutoCAD.
