Import Files from Other CAD Systems

You can import part and assembly files from other CAD systems. The import operation does not maintain associativity with the original file, except when you associatively import Alias files. After you import the files, you can treat them as if they were originally created in Autodesk Inventor. You can import these files:

• Alias
• CATIA V4, CATIA V5
• JT
• Pro/ENGINEER®
• Parasolid®
• SolidWorks™
• UGS NX

You can also import SAT, STEP, IGES, and Mechanical Desktop (DWG) files.
