    Default Export from Inventor to .3ds, .obj or even .max

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Can inventor export to these file formats? I am working in a side/game project where a guy is making game models with inventor and we need a good conversion process. Any ideas? He is using .igs right now with hit-or-miss sucess. TIA

    Found a thread from the past while looking for a add in for inventor to export to .obj, anyway here it is, not a free add in
    http://www.sycode.com/products/obj_export_iv/
    USING AUTOCAD 2013 AND INVENTOR 2013, ALIAS 2013.

    If in doubt scale and don't ask!

    if you have 3ds max and inventor installed on the same computer, you can import assemblys and parts into 3ds max with the import command.

    Tired it a while ago.. its very usefull when rendering more realistic things, like lights, reflective materials... etc etc
