Re: Importing Inventor Into 3ds max?

You will now be able to use "Merge" from the file menu to import Inventor files.
Are you using 3DS Max 7?
Is it necessary for both 3DS Max and Inventor to be installed on the same machine?

What I did was copy the InventorUtility_Max6.dlu and InventorImport_Max6.dli to the Max Plugin folder and ran the latest LoadImporter.ms script.

I get an error message saying that it cant find the specified dll module.
And I'm pretty sure I had the directory changed corectly in the maxscript.
