The following features work with Mesh based parts in Inventor 2017. To split a Mesh file which contains multiple shells into multiple Mesh bodies in Inventor, tick the ‘Split Group’ option in mesh import.

Pro tip: Splitting OBJ Groups into individual meshes In an Assembly file, Inventor can use these edges to create Joint and Constraint relationships between regular and mesh based parts. Tip: Don’t forget to click on the ‘Options Button’ during export to set the quality of your mesh! Assemble Join and Constrain mesh partsĪutodesk Inventor 2017 uses some really clever programming to analyse the edges and faces of your mesh based. You can also navigate to the Application menu (The ‘File’ tab under the big Orange ‘I’) and select: You can save OBJ files directly out of Inventor using the save command, and setting the file type to OBJ. Tip: Don’t forget to click on the ‘Options Button’ during import! You can also Import OBJ files by clicking on:ģD Model tab > Create Panel > Import Tool. Note: This functionality supersedes the Autodesk Mesh enabler tool (Click the link to read more). You can now open OBJ files directly using the ‘Open’ command and switching to ‘OBJ’ file type. While we can’t create a drawing from a Mesh file (yet!) Inventor 2017 does have an entirely new toolset for building Surface or Solid models from Meshed bodies. Mesh based files can be used in a BOM directly with no further editing, and we can even use mesh based files in assemblies with constraints! OBJ mesh files directly into inventor and use them in our workflow. You could also process this solid further by taking it into Inventor Fusion.New in Autodesk Inventor 2017, Awesome Mesh support! Autodesk Inventor 2017 enables end to end round tripping of scanned to 3D printed data by enabling Mesh based models.Īutodesk Inventor 2017 brings new features for those of us interested in working with scanned data or 3D printed files in the form of its new Mesh file modelling tools. However this new base feature behaves as a solid allowing you to add in place features, such as holes. The end result is still faceted, like a mesh would be. The final result! A solid feature, ready for you to start working with.Īs you can see from the illustration, the mesh converting tool doesn’t do magic. You will be presented with a few options, including converting the mesh into a solid or surface, and deleting the original mesh.
To convert the mesh into a more useful solid, simply right click and choose ‘Convert to base feature’. Select the file you wish to import, and chose ‘Open’. In the open file dialogue, pick the file type you wish to import from the drop down list – or select ‘all files’. Once you have your test files, open Inventor and click on the big ‘I’.

The Autodesk Inventor mesh enabler preview plugin is available to trial until January 31st 2013 from the Autodesk Labs web site. Whop-de-do! but what next? Well – next up is the ability to convert those meshes into water tight solids. Autodesk Labs – Autodesk Inventor mesh enablerĪutodesk Inventor 2012 onwards can already import many mesh formats. If you regularly need to use Catia, JT or STL files inside of Autodesk Inventor, then check out this new tool that might just help you out. This week sees the release of a new tool for converting mesh objects to solids.
The Autodesk Labs team just love to keep on giving.
