For my master's thesis I'm trying to: import a mesh file (.stl) as a result of a 3D Scan into Inventor as a solid shape, process boolean operations to it, and later 3D print it.I'm a student from Singapore and have been using Inventor for about 2-3 months, and I work on projects related to sheet metal and computer components to make computer outer frames and use reference STL models to check if everything fits into place.

I'm a Biomechanics Student, and I'm currently writing my Masters thesis in which I use the free student version of Autodesk Inventor Professional 2013.We hear from students and educators on a regular basis. The subscription requirement poses a problem for the Student Community 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.Īccess to goodies like these is one of the benefits of subscription. 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. As shipped, Inventor 2012 can import mesh data from Catia files. You have already specified your preference and migration will respect it.The Mesh Enabler enables Inventor users to work with imported Mesh data. You have some color styles with the Realistic Appearance ON and some with it OFF. The Realistic Appearance assignment is ignored. You unchecked (OFF) the Realistic Appearance option for color styles. If you do not, color styles will migrate using the realistic appearance and not the color style properties. Note: if you maintain unique color styles in models and not in a library, you must open every model having a custom color style and modify the style before migrating the model. Edit all color styles you want to maintain and Uncheck the Realistic Appearance option.The option Realistic Appearance option may be checked (ON).
You did not use the Realistic Visual Style display mode and/or prefer the Shaded Visual Style appearance.
You prefer or use the Realistic Appearance, including changing assignments. To help in making the choice we provide the following: As was mentioned before, the option state (checked/unchecked) dictates which part of the color style definition is migrated. Migration uses the legacy color style definition to move your styles from a prior release to Inventor 2013. The Appearance Browser and Editor provide the tools to create new and edit existing appearances. In Inventor 2013 Appearances replace color styles. The following image contrasts the results of the option state OFF/ON.įigure 1 Autodesk Inventor 2012 - effect of the Realistic Appearance option When unchecked, the Color Style definition was used for the Realistic Visual Style display. When checked, the Realistic Appearance was used for the Realistic Visual Style display. You could change which appearance was assigned, but could neither create nor edit Appearances. In Inventor 2012 the Realistic Appearance color style option was introduced and each style had an assigned appearance. The Realistic Appearance Color Style option.Added Material and Appearance configuration settings located in project settings.Added new Material and Appearance commands located which are on Tools tab within the Material and Appearances panel.NOTE: You still use the Style Manager to transfer other Styles content, such as Drafting Standards, between Style Libraries. Removed the Material and Color categories from style and standard editor dialog The Materials and Appearances are no longer styles.The Style Management Wizard is no longer available.However, if you prefer to use an existing library from a previous release it can be migrated by following the steps outlined below. Inventor 2013 has added new Material and Appearance libraries which replace material and color styles.
