I often get questions around importing/exporting DWG files with Inventor. Many of you have need to work with 2D DWG files between AutoCAD and Inventor and at times also need to open or save 3D DWG files. This episode is all around how to leverage DWG files between both AutoCAD and Inventor. I also use a great little tool that was recently updated on Labs to help take 2D drawings and turn them into 3D models.

Thanks for the good podcast, definitely could learn something from that. What many of us are struggling with is the possibility to show inventor 2D dwg in a autocad file. Non of the Iprops are readable in autcad and when the inventor dwg changes the autocad doesn't update.
For people who deal a lot with sheet metal that has to be sent to laser cutters etc there is still a lot of handwork needed because of the poor communication between inventor and autocad DWG

Garin you've been slacking lately. You haven't been putting out any NEW stuff lately.. Tell the bosses to quit occupying you with other stuff and come back to making some good ol' Inventor tips and tricks.
