Part 2: 3D to 2D

In this half of the tutorial, you reverse the workflow and export electrical data from Inventor to AutoCAD Electrical.

Add a Connector

  1. Place an occurrence of the connector 900356.ipt. Place the occurrence approximately, as shown.
    Tip: Drag one of the existing occurrences from the browser into the graphics window to create another occurrence, instead of using the Place command.
  2. On the Assemble tab, Position panel, use Grip Snap or Move and Rotate. Approximate the position of the connector as shown in the following image. The intent is that the pins on the connector face toward the front of the seat.

    Normally you use assembly constraints to position and constrain the component, but it is not necessary for this exercise.
