Two-Dimensional tools aren't going away anytime soon. AutoCAD started the trend of computer-aided design, and a large portion of the CAD userbase still uses it to design parts and assemblies.
Autodesk's 3D modeling solution, Inventor, allows users to utilize existing 2D data to quickly generate 3D models, using the DWG Underlay Technology in Inventor. No longer does one need to choose between a 2D or 3D workflow. Instead the two can co-exist, allowing users to benefit from the simplicity of a 2D drawing, or the power of a 3D model.
Join Nathan Eliason, Senior Technical Specialist, as he demonstrates how to bring 2D AutoCAD drawings into your Inventor models and quickly generate associative 3D data - increasing design efficiency and expanding your workflow options.

This is great informative video. I really needed to learn this workflow because importing dwg in sketches is painful.
Hi, I have a much simpler way. Open the dwg and copy and paste to a scketch. Like that, you can control where you will reference your sketch in a global references. I am using this method and I am very safistied.
Very Helpful and relevant

gracias por compartir el video.
None of this process actually applies to importing a dwg or dxf into Inventor. Not one single step works!
Hi Harrelson,
I do apologize for misunderstanding about importing .dwg files into inventor and reusing the data from the files. You may find some additional steps to achieve importing these files at the link below.

Hope this helps!

This was awesome ! wish that feature can be in Revit too !
Autodesk is working on interoperability between Inventor and Revit. Check out some of the latest info here: knowledge.autodesk.com/support/inventor/troubleshooting/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2021/ENU/Inventor-Install/files/GUID-6209FD76-9E2F-47EA-80E7-0FC55C018507-htm.html
@@KETIVTechnologies Yes i know it and it's awesome, working on it right now :)
How do you extract BOM from your 2D-3D drawing?
Hi! Thanks for the video, I have one question about this procedure. When i import an AutoCAD file with Inventor i dont get the imported file in the right scale, if i open the DWG in DWG Viewer the scaling is correct but not when i import it to Inventor. Is there any way to fix the scale inside Inventor?
Hi Joakim,
Our pleasure! Our goal is to make the community stronger by sharing our knowledge.
My understanding is that the file comes in as drawn from AutoCAD. The underlay technology is purely for consumption purposes, so any updates or changes to the file need to be made on the AutoCAD side.

What about this 11:06 ''project geometry'' command ?? this first one, What is it for? Isn't it usefull for a DWG drawing?
My another question is: Is there a way to join lines, arcs and etc?
The project geometry command gets geometric information onto a sketch on another plane. This is useful when you want certain things to line up in a particular way with respect to other portions of the design.
Good day!
According to your technique, I inserted the drawing file (in mm) of the AutoCAD 2022 into the Inventor 2022 sketch and suddenly noticed that all the dimensions in the sketch increased and became 25.4 times larger! The 165 mm size turned into 4191 mm and so all the other sizes! It's like an inverter converts inches to mm. I can't find the reason, maybe you know ?!
Sounds like a trivial issue. Did you create a new part drawing in the Inventor that has the imperial unit in the first place? You need to set the drawing unit from mm to inches in Inventor first, then import the Autocad drawing.
I have opened a 3D Autocad drawing in Inventor, but i can't do anything with it?
Sorry to hear that, if you are stuck feel free to contact us at ketiv.com
does anyone can tell me why my Project Geometry is in gray color??
Grzegorz, do you have a sketch open?
