Autodesk AnyCAD
- [Instructor] Autodesk AnyCAD allows designers to use external CAD data from other systems within your inventor assemblies. It even does this without the need for part translation. Instead, Autodesk AnyCAD simply references the native files from many systems like SolidWorks, PTC Creo or Wildfire, Siemens NX, even generic step files. With this release, Inventor 2017 users can even reference newer 2018 data to gain a level of backward compatibility. I know not everyone will have multiple CAD systems to test this exercise, so instead I'll use a generic step file exported from Autodesk Fusion to show how AnyCAD works within Inventor. On the screen you see a simple base and a magnet. What we'll be doing is placing a bracket that I created for my CNC machine to hold the magnet for a limit switch. If we look at the exercise files, you can see that we have the two versions of the step file here. Let's take a look at what these look like in Fusion. When I switch to Fusion you can see here on…
