Plug-in for AUTODESK Inventor files

[CuriosityMan]

Hi,
Here is my drive link for the file .ipt + .stl
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1e4-CU ... yHJMPJH0T4
Thanks you

[jmplonka]

Thanks for sharing. The reason for the failure is quite simple: there's a whitespace infront of the extension. As a workaround you can simply remove it.

Thanks you,
Ok I've found the Whitespace.
Now I can opne the file and see the preview .
But none of the strategy works (SAT nativ or STEP), it crash.
If I try native here is the crash report.

Only now I realize this addon is able to import SAT files!!
Amazing work @jmplonka!!

[CuriosityMan]

I will contact him directly with a PM.

Only now I realize this addon is able to import SAT files!!

Not 100% - the SAT file can either be:

• imported "natively" => probs with surfaces.
• converted to STEP => no wires without surfaces/solids because STEP-importer ignores them!

BTW: some of the SAT surves can't be handled!

If you are searching for other importers, jutst have a look at my Importer3D:

• Autodesk Maya (*.md)
• GSkin-Mesh (*.gsm)
• 3D Studio Max (*.max and *.3ds)
• LightWave Object (*.lwo)

Should be fixed now - sorry for the beeing so late.

Preview for Version 0.14 (move Plugin to WorkBench): starting with view providers for implemented features I also started providing these in a workbench:

Just give me some time to do some final testing.

My first Version of the Inventor-Workbench is ready now.
The Toolbar is arranged like the ribbon bar in Inventor for comfort reasons while switching between the two tools.
Some of the Features are not available and therefore grayed out.

1. create Toolbar:

Nice!!!
Perfect timing for 0.18 release. Hows the documentation looking ?
