Our students use Inventor 2013, and we would like them to have the opportunity to edit STL files occasionally. I am a tech at a college in Australia.I need to extract some information like dimensions, volume, etc. 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. The Mesh Enabler enables Inventor users to work with imported Mesh data.
