[FTC]: Using Autodesk Inventor for FTC models

[CENTURION]

I ran into the same issue trying to bring those parts into Solidworks

Maybe there's some sort of converter software needed?

You can find a lot of FTC parts here if you poke around a bit here. You can configure it to download Inventor part files but I haven't had the best experience doing that so I just usually grab the STP file.

Funny, I was just over at 3D Content Central before I came back to check on this. Searching "FTC" there will get you a decent amount of stuff, as will "tetrix" as you suggested. Good stuff, thank you!

Watch out for some of those though, I ran across some Tetrix rail pieces that had an incorrect hole pattern. You may want to check that they are correct before using them for critical design.

I have an outdated library formated for 2012, you simply import the parts and save them to 2013 whenever you save.

Give that a go.
