New to 3D


Nick Prime

Recommended Posts

I purchased AutoDesk Inventor LT. I also have AutoCad LT. I have used AutoCad for some time. I understand one can use the 2D drawings to build a 3D part. Certainl, I'm not looking for instructions here, but some direction on the best videos or other material that will assist.

 

TIA,

 

Nick

Students can get full Inventor Professional for free from http://www.autodesk.com/edcommunity

 

To answer your question there is a tool here http://labs.autodesk.com/utilities/2d_to_3d_tool/

to help convert AutoCAD 2D into Inventor 3D - but most people simply start from scratch not trusting the AutoCAD data was done correctly.

I found that it is quicker in most cases to do it yourself, the idea behind it logical but I find myself cleaning up the drawing more than often.
