Ipt files to dxf files
I have a bunch of robotics components for laser cutting but the problem is they are only available in 3D .IPT form they are actually many components loke this and the technician who work in this laser cutting factory asked me for .DXF 2D files of the components.
Im newbie and tbh i have zero knowledge but im open to learn. Is there easy way i can come through this and convert he files easily?? I have tried oneshape but can't make through it.
I have added the drive links for reference.
i need to make this transition in 3d on inventor, im just having alot of trouble picturing it and how i could make it, any help is appreciated
having alot of difficulty
Hi everyone, where do you find CAD drawings for practice?
I'm just getting into Inventor now, I need to learn where the tools are.
Red edges on assembly
Hello,
I have an assembly with a frame (from frame generator) and stiffeners.
I updated the frame size, everything went well, but the stiffeners are now with red edges (see image bellow)
There is no error on the assembly or part tree, there was no warning, from all of the parts i have on the assembly, this is the only one where this has happened. (i have multiple copies, all of them like this). Also, on the drawing it's everything okay, no warnings either.
Does anyone know what this means?
Thank you!
Everything here is all one solid body, i am trying to make each "duct,elbow etc" a separate component so i can make an IDW for each one. I am having great difficulty to do this. I believe because its all one body and the person who made this didn't put each piece separate? can someone please help
any help will be appreciated guys! beginner to inventor
Help! Scissor lift
Hi,
I’m building a battery-powered scissor lift in Autodesk Inventor for a school project, but I can’t get the actuator and constraints to work correctly.
The actuator moves, but the whole lift does not properly go up/down. I think the actuator placement or constraints are wrong.
Dimensions:
- Length: 1590 mm
- Width: 1140 mm
- Min height: 180 mm
- Max height: around 955 mm
If anyone thinks they can help, I can send the Inventor files, screenshots, and sketches.
I’d really appreciate any help. Thanks!
I never had this issue with 2026. I have a 14900K and a 4090, my pc is at 10% Usage with this is happening. Inventor 2027 will load for up to 20 minutes executing a feature on large assemblies and parts.
There are multiple ways to skin this cat but I'm asking as a sanity check in case there is a more efficient way to go about it. The task is a tapered hole, in today's project, hexagonal. I don't have a draft angle because I was handed an existing part and I'm working from the calipers. It needs to be 1.65" deep, .138" flat to flat, at the top and .085" at the bottom.
I can extrude, and use the Taper angle feature there, but then I have to break out the trig.
I can extrude and use Draft, but back to trig.
Or I can use a Loft , but that involves creating an offset workplane, a new sketch, making sure all the reference geometry is set to Construction, etc.
Is there a simpler way to do this that I'm overlooking?
My group and I suspect that piece might be on tomorrow's exam. Any advice on how to understand and perform it?
Our salesman sold something absolutely ridiculous. I have to make a series of radius handrails with elevation changes on a CNC router and I'm not sure how to model this.
I laser templated the path, so it's a rough looking combination of lines and 3d splines. Not exactly tangent and I don't know how to manipulate the spline without making everything worse.
Is this something the should be done with a sweep vs loft?
How do I control the roll of the profile as it travels up and around the curve? I tried constraining the rail to the Z axis, but that doesn't seem to be the way to go.
As far as guide rails, I plan to use the inside of the profile and rectangle my way up 20 workplanes and spline/line the corners together to get an offset path. Is there a more efficient way to get the path?

Please assist. Pretty please. Pleeeeease
I am working on an assembly drawing and I keep having to manually turn off the visibility on a bunch of partial hidden-line holes appearing. Is there a way to fix this or turn it off?
I want to create an additional view where i am seeing the drawing from the angle seen in the second photo. But I have no clue how to, this is very urgent, please help me.
