    Icon / Toolbar to Switch Units

    Thanks Ferdo! Just what i needed. It's more of less for for when measuring and checking items rather then inputing sizes when designing. If I could set dual unit's when measuring - that would be useful also.

    Icon / Toolbar to Switch Units

    I've tried but cannot figure out. Is there a way to create a macro or something to make an icon that I can toggle back and forth between inches and millimeters? Appreciate the help!

    Saving as Autocad - Setting Layer Linetypes and Colors

    That did the trick. Created an autocad file with all the same layers as in the inventor file and then links the dwg/dxf out config file to it. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

    Saving as Autocad - Setting Layer Linetypes and Colors

    Yeah I have seen that option to do that. I'll have to see if I can get an Inventor drawing to export with all the possible layers to I can set what I want in Autocad.

    IDW save as DWG crashes

    Sorry, I am using Inventor 2010 SP1. There are no special excel spreadsheets or bmp links or anything fancy. My IAM is really just a simple frame made of tubing and plates. The drawing has (1) base view, (1) ISO view and (2) projected views with some ballooning and dimensions.

    Maybe there is already a tool to do this, but I'd like to run a script of some sort that will give me a text file that lists the desired attributes of a directory of PRT files. Basically we are given a directory of a few hundred parts, that have no description in the filename. I'd rather not...
