Re: IDW files

When saving the Inventor DraWing file (idw), there is either a dropdown list in the save as diaglog that would let you select the file format, or there would be an export option in the file menu of the drawing. idw, as far as I know, doesn't have converters, partly because it is Autodesk's own format just for Inventor. But dwg and dxf formats are used more often. You can download a dxf viewer from Autodesk's site. I think there are also Inventor viewers, but I don't remember what they do, where I found them on their site, or much. But you could take a look and see what you turn up.
