Import and export data

To translate files, you open or import the files in Autodesk Inventor. You can also place part and assembly files as components in Autodesk Inventor assemblies and drag and drop part and assembly files into Autodesk Inventor.

In the open, import, and place components workflows, you can choose from specific import options to achieve the intended results. The import options are available when you select a file and click Options on the dialog box. Details of the import operation are contained in the translation report, under the corresponding third-party browser node.
