Convert SLDDRW to IPT

Understanding SLDDRW and IPT file formats

The SLDDRW file format is associated with SOLIDWORKS, a popular CAD software used for creating detailed 2D drawings of 3D models. These files contain information about the design, including dimensions, annotations, and other drawing elements.

On the other hand, the IPT file format is used by Autodesk Inventor, another leading CAD software. IPT files are used to store 3D part models, containing data about the geometry, features, and properties of the part.

Converting SLDDRW to IPT

Converting an SLDDRW file to an IPT file involves a two-step process. First, you need to convert the SLDDRW file into a 3D model format that Autodesk Inventor can read, such as STEP or IGES. Then, you can import this 3D model into Autodesk Inventor and save it as an IPT file.

Best software for SLDDRW to IPT conversion

The best software for this conversion is SOLIDWORKS and Autodesk Inventor. Here’s how you can perform the conversion:

• Open the SLDDRW file in SOLIDWORKS.
• Go to File → Save As and choose a 3D format like STEP or IGES.
• Open Autodesk Inventor and go to File → Open to import the STEP or IGES file.
• Once imported, go to File → Save As and select the IPT format to save your file.

By following these steps, you can successfully convert an SLDDRW file to an IPT file.
