Join Thom Tremblay for an in-depth discussion in this video Using an AutoCAD drawing as a template, part of Migrating from AutoCAD to Inventor.
- Creating a new template inside of Inventor is very easy.…But if you already have an existing AutoCAD template…that your users are used to,…have all of the attribute information…that you're accustomed to, you can simply move that over…into Inventor through a very simple process.…To do this let's take an existing AutoCAD dwg file…that we use as a template.…We'll open it inside of Inventor.…If we take a closer look at the title block…we'll see our default responses to our attributes…so we know that that information is there.…
To make a template out of it all we have to do…is use the allocation option, go to Save As,…Save Copy as Template, and add this…to your templates collection.…Another note on templates is that when you go…to create a new file you might have noticed…that templates are organized among…English, Metric, or Mold Design.…These are simply folders as we can see…so we can add our own folder…and place our new template inside of it.…
Now when we go to create a new drawing file,…we'll simply come to our Lynda.com folder,…
