When you export an Autodesk Inventor drawing to an AutoCAD Drawing (.dwg) file, entities are translated to corresponding AutoCAD entities.
Autodesk Inventor files saved in Autodesk Inventor Drawing (*.dwg) format can be opened directly in AutoCAD where you can view, plot, and measure the Autodesk Inventor data. Autodesk Inventor drawing views remain linked to the parts and assemblies from which the views are created. However, this drawing data is not fully editable in AutoCAD. If you require a drawing that is 100% editable in AutoCAD, then export the file.
