Inventor makes it easy for users of AutoCAD

®

 software to 

realize the benefits of Digital Prototyping by leveraging 

investments in AutoCAD expertise and DWG

™

 design data. 

AutoCAD Integration

Open a DWG file in Inventor and automatically 
create layers and dimension and text styles based 
on the AutoCAD styles in the DWG file, thus 
reducing the time required to create drawings that 
comply with customers’ drawing standards.

Reduce the time and training required for AutoCAD 
users to become proficient in 3D design workflows. 
Simplify the transition from AutoCAD software 
to Inventor in a familiar design environment with 
recognizable icons, AutoCAD-compatible shortcuts, 
cursor-based prompts, and command redo. User 
profiles enable users to configure Inventor to match 
the way they work, with out-of-the-box profiles 
for AutoCAD and Inventor experts. In addition, 
users can transfer their settings between different 
computers by exporting the profile to XML.

Inventor delivers the 

industry’s leading 

integration of 2D and 

3D design, providing 

direct read and write 

of native DWG files, 

while maintaining full 

associativity to the 3D 

model—without the need 

for data-compromising 

translators.

With Inventor, reuse 

valuable data with 

rapid access to existing 

2D information. And, 

because users can save 

drawings as DWG files, 

they can easily share 

insights gained from the 

digital prototype with 

partners and suppliers 

who rely on AutoCAD 

software. Views 

generated from 3D part 

and assembly designs, 

such as schematics and 

plant layouts, can also be 

combined with AutoCAD 

data. Users can then 

update 2D drawings by 

inserting a view of new 

3D designs—reducing the 

cost of upgrading existing 

equipment.
