how to separate idws into single files


Recommended Posts

Posted

the guy i replaced at my job had all the idws for a machine under a single file and named it ambiguously, so it took me a little while to find them (was very frustrating for a while) is there a way i could separate them into single files?

I'm not sure if you can do this in Inventor (I will watch this thread with interest) but you can do it in Autocad - But I have no idea whether the links betwhen views will still work.

 

If your collegue has not linked views betwhen sheets then it might be worth a try.

 

Save a copy as DWG, for each layout

Open in Autocad

Delete the layouts you don't need

OPen the DWG in Inventor and see if it still works!

I think you can copy and paste sheets from one file to another - but I don't have time to test right now.

Yes, you can copy/paste sheets including everything that's on there.

Alternatively, you could save copy as (idw), then delete all the other sheets you don't want. Repeat x times for every sheet you want in a separate file. Similar to what Pablo says, except there is no need to go to Acad for this.
