Re: Can you directly obtain G-code from Inventor Pro 2012?
Darren,

Thanks. Up till now we have gone the Inventor Pro --> MasterCAM route. Works fine when we're doing the designing and machining. But we're setting up for summer projects and are following others plans. Seems the hobbyist scene uses every conceivable format but IP...and a few I think they made up.
We have maxed our "how about some help" from the school budget and can't afford any packages after they did get us MasterCAM art.
Guess we'll just get the rulers and mics out, print the plans in some format and just IP2012 them ourselves. Nothing's ever easy but it might prove good experience for the freshman.
