Re: cad dimensions?

If it is already in Inventor, you might try exporting as STEP. This saves most things, but not constraints and I dont' think it saves material specs. I made a quick model in Inventor 8 and saved as STEP and opened it in Inventor 5. I had to reconstrain everything, but the model was there.

If they want us to think outside of the box, why do they make us fit in a 38x28x60 inch box?
