DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING
Trying to decide if moving from 2D to 3D CAD is right for you? In many cases, the best option is a combination of both.
Design faster and get more from your models by combining the capabilities of AutoCAD and Inventor. Get the flexibility of AutoCAD, including the ability to collaborate with other 2D users. And with Inventor, save time on manual tasks and apply 3D models for downstream use cases.
Even the simplest part has something to gain from adding 3D CAD to your workflows. In the Essentials of 3D CAD for 2D Users, learn how to cut back on manual effort and get more value from models–from design to the shop floor.
You don't have to start from scratch. Import existing DWGTM files into Inventor to create 3D models in minutes.
Do your colleagues, partners, or clients use 2D? You can collaborate in 2D workflows by bringing Inventor data into AutoCAD.
Automate modeling tasks, easily handle design changes, optimize performance, and meet manufacturing needs.
