Hi,

I'm using Keyshot 3. I built a assy. in Inventor, it has some files that I downloaded form a manuafacture, specifically a 5" swivel caster.

When I  import it the casters don't come with it. Other files I downloaded from the same manufacture do work.

Any idea of what to try to get the whole thing to import?

Thanks,

Paul

PaulP

would this be better in a diff section of the forum?

thanks,

Paul

You can export to CATIA from Inventor and then import. In KeyShot 4, the Inventor import has improved significantly.

...if I had Catia! Thanks anyway though.

You're unable to export as a Catia file type from Inventor? Well, then try STEP, IGES, etc...

You don't need CATIA. The export to CATIA should be a standard export function in Inventor, not unless I am mistaken.

OK, I never tried that, thanks I will see what I can do.
