Inventor 2017 - Interoperability Improvements

Mesh Handling - Mesh data can be brought into Inventor and managed the same way as other 3D CAD data.

Inventor 2017 - Interoperability Improvements

Fit Mesh FaceThe Fit Mesh Face command optionally allows users to convert a mesh face to a native Inventor surfaceMeasure & ConstrainableMeasure and section tools can be used on mesh faces. Mesh can be selected and projected into sketches, enabling the geometry to be edited downstream. Interference detectionMesh data can now be included in interference detection.
