Inventor Part vs Imported Fusion Designįusion 360, however, will import a multi solid body Inventor part file as a multi-body design. The result is similar to what occurs when modeling within Fusion with History turned off. Even though the Inventor model is fully featured, it imports as a single bodied part with no features.

Partsįusion treats an Inventor part as it would other 3rd part files (like STEP). The imported model is NOT associative to the original, meaning changes within Inventor will NOT update the model within Fusion 360. After selecting the file the upload process begins, which you can dismiss and allow to complete in the background. Inventor to Fusion 360įusion 360 offers the ability to open Inventor parts (IPT) and assemblies (IAM) directly. So as Inventor and Fusion are in the same family, it would be appropriate that they can read each other’s files? Right? Put on top of this Inventor’s An圜AD and Fusion 360’s openness to data and it seems like the start of a beautiful relationship. This comparison makes sense as Fusion is the new kid on the block, shares many similarities to Inventor, and they are both in the same Autodesk manufacturing family. Paul Munford once described Fusion 360 as Inventor’s little brother. And not only with 3 rd party formats, Inventor talks with AutoCAD, Revit, Fusion 360, and other products within the Autodesk family. An圜AD is Inventor`s ability to work with and exchange data from a variety of sources.
