Re: .ipt to dxf? to CNC machines?

Thanks Arthur!

One more question, when I save as to a dxf file in inventor from an idw file, what actually is happening to the new file created? When I found it, it had been zipped, and when I opened it, 2 or 1 text file appears, inside is a mass amount of code....not programming code, looked like random segments. When someone outside opens it properly with a dxf opener, are they able to see the model dimensions? will it be in 2D or 3D...If I didnt dimension the idw file to begin with, would the dxf file be dimensionless?
