Kristy I have a student license for Autodesk Inventor 2013 and would like to download the mesh enabler app a lot of our files are from DICOM scan images and the segmenting results in STL files. Life is what you make it by preeti shenoyįelix I am a tech at a college in Australia. I need to extract some information like dimensions, volume, etc.įrom an STL file. Im a Biomechanics Student, and Im currently writing my Masters thesis in which I use the free student version of Autodesk Inventor Professional 2013. The subscription requirement poses a problem for the who are not part of the Autodesk Subscription program. The technology preview has graduated from Autodesk Labs, and a non-expiring version is available in the Autodesk App Exchange for Autodesk Subscription customers. You are unable to draw sketches on Mesh faces, or created 2D drawings of them, they are just graphical representations of geometry. Without the Mesh Enabler, STL files come into Inventor as mesh entities, which are not really much use to the user.

The resulting Base features can then be used for further operations including drawings and measurements. The Mesh Enabler for 20 adds the ability to post process the imported mesh data to convert the mesh features to Inventor Base features.

In addition to Catia files, Inventor 2013 can import mesh data from STL files and from JT files.
