(this is a repeat post from Autocad forum) i have been struggling with some cables, trying to export wire information from AutoCAD Electrical 2010 to Inventor 2011. It seems that each time i try, that there is something that i forgot to do in one or the other program. For instance, when i transferred the first time i forgot the splices in Electrical. When i added them Inventor wanted to relate them now to splices in Inventor. So i guess i should have created them first.
Although there is a help file for each program they don't really talk about concurrent design of the same part in both programs.
What do YOU do when exporting/importing cable assembly information between the two programs ?
What are the steps to take in each program prior to export/import so that the transfer goes seamlessly? ie. create splices in both programs. (When/why?)
Does anyone have a checklist? Kind of a cables and assys for dummies?
