Have an AutoCAD drawing with some geometry that you want in Inventor?  No need to recreate it.  Here’s a time-saving tip that will help you use AutoCAD drawings in Inventor.  By copying the geometry into an Inventor part sketch, we convert that sketch into an Inventor sketch block and extrude the sketch geometry.  This is an easy way to use existing AutoCAD drawings to create Inventor sketches without redrawing every line and dimension.  Check out the short video below:

If you have questions on this, please contact us.  If you have any requests for tips, let me know.
Thanks,
Dave
