AutoCAD 2d to Inventor 3D workflow -with metric to inches thrown in....
Dinochrome posted a topic in Autodesk Inventor
Does six months a Zombie thread make? I found a different thread in a different sub-forum in which someone had asked a very similar, but somewhat different question. I thought I'd start my own thread rather than pollute his. I am learning Inventor. I have been tasked with a sample job to dra...- 4 replies

Sbeth85 posted a topic in AutoCAD 2D Drafting, Object Properties & Interface
