sorta offtopic, but i just want to mention how annoying it is that there is such a multitude of 3d file formats. Numerous times i have had to do something like you said and end up losing all sorts of information and wasting a lot of time. I understand a universal format is being developed (u3d) maybe that will solve some problems....

.DWG is one of the file types used by AutoCAD, and is savable by Inventor. Merely save your file normally, then choose "save copy as", and select dwg as the filetype.

I believe that *.ipt files are also importable.
