You could also process this solid further by taking it into Inventor Fusion. However this new base feature behaves as a solid allowing you to add in place features, such as holes. The end result is still faceted, like a mesh would be. The final result! A solid feature, ready for you to start working with.Īs you can see from the illustration, the mesh converting tool doesn’t do magic. You will be presented with a few options, including converting the mesh into a solid or surface, and deleting the original mesh. To convert the mesh into a more useful solid, simply right click and choose ‘Convert to base feature’. The Mesh Enabler application converts mesh features to solid base features or surface features.Objects display in precise and raster drawing views - base, projected, auxiliary, section, & detail.Mesh objects participate in drawings in the following ways: Mesh objects points, and edges can be used for tweak directions mesh data is expected to. Select the file you wish to import, and chose ‘Open’. In the open file dialogue, pick the file type you wish to import from the drop down list – or select ‘all files’. Once you have your test files, open Inventor and click on the big ‘I’. There are some sample files that you can download on the labs web site. Just unzip the folder and run the exe for your version of Inventor. EXE installers for both Inventor 2012 and Inventor 2013. The download contains a zipped file with. The Autodesk Inventor mesh enabler preview plugin is available to trial until January 31st 2013 from the Autodesk Labs web site. Whop-de-do! but what next? Well – next up is the ability to convert those meshes into water tight solids. Autodesk Labs – Autodesk Inventor mesh enablerĪutodesk Inventor 2012 onwards can already import many mesh formats. If you regularly need to use Catia, JT or STL files inside of Autodesk Inventor, then check out this new tool that might just help you out. This week sees the release of a new tool for converting mesh objects to solids. I am using mesh enabler version 1.0.6, Inventor Professional 2018, HSM Premium 2018 R1.26, any info would be helpful.The Autodesk Labs team just love to keep on giving. I can complete the CAM but since the setup 3 stock isn't a solid, I really don't benefit from using mesh enabler for setup 3. During "Convert to Base Feature", I would select output as solid but the file would output as a surface in the model tree. Now I need to use mesh enabler again on the stock left over at the end of setup 2 for use in setup 3, and this is where the issue occurs. Mesh enabler worked w/o issue when used on the stock left over at the end of setup 1, and I was able to use this stock for setup 2. The issue I was trying to troubleshoot occurs on a file that has 3 setups. I've been trying to troubleshoot another issue with mesh enabler, but the constant lag and crashing make it very difficult. Has anyone else had issues using mesh enabler with Inventor HSM Premium 2018? Once I use mesh enabler on an ipt file, I experience a significant lag when executing commands, as well as constant crashing of Inventor.
