CAD Clues How to extract 2D AutoCAD geometry from an Autodesk Inventor DWG drawing file

Have you ever received a DWG from someone using Inventor, and wondered where the drawing is?!

I get asked this question quite a lot. When Gill from CAD Clue invited me to write a post, I thought that extracting 2D AutoCAD Geometry from An Inventor DWG would make an excelent subject.

Why the Toy Train?

I usually try to make sure that the data files that I am using are relevant to the people who will be reading the post. However Gil’s is a Civil drafter, and I know next to nothing about Civil Engineering!

In the end I was inspired whilst playing with my son (and his train set) to model this toy train. It was fun to do, I hope that you like it too!
