Re: Can you directly obtain G-code from Inventor Pro 2012?
There is currently no built-in CAM or G-code capability within Autodesk Inventor. I really wish Autodesk would come out with a CAM product sometime soon.
We have purchased OneCNC for our CAM needs, but have not started using it yet. The features, user-interface, and especially the educational pricing made it the most attractive option among all the CAM packages we evaluated.
If you'd like an integrated package, SolidWorks with the HSMWorks plugin is quite attractive. I believe HSMXpress is available for free and gives you 2 1/2D capability and most functions you'd need for basic parts.
