    Default AutoCAD 3D into Inventor

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Hi,
    I am new to Inventor, I use AutoCAD 2004 for sheetmetal parts design in 3D. I want to use Inventor for unfolding the parts and creating dxf for laser/punch. My question is whether I can export 3D parts from AutoCAD into Inventor and then unfold them and make dxf, or do I have to create all parts from scratch in Inventor to be able to unfold them?
    Thank you,
    Benny

    Thanks for your reply - I have to learn by trial and error.
    Nice pictures from the mountains.
    Some of them remind me Australia:

    Hit F1 whilst in Inventor, then type in Add-ins, translators, dxf.
