Issue:
You want to insert an AutoCAD Inventor model into an AutoCAD Plant 3D project and you want to convert this model into a specific AutoCAD Plant 3D equipment.
Solution:
These are the steps to provide Autodesk Inventor content for AutoCAD Plant 3D:
Ensure that the units for the Inventor model match the units of the Plant 3D project
This can be set in Inventor under 'Tools - Document Settings'
Ensure that the orientation of the Inventor model is aligned with the z-axis pointing up
Tip: If the orientation of an existing design isn't aligned, you can insert the model into a new assembly and apply the necessary constraints in Inventor to orient it properly
Start the BIM Exchange environment in Inventor via 'Environments - BIM Exchange'
Author important connection points for Plant 3D to re-use
Plant 3D understands 'Connector Size' and 'Connection Type'
Optional: You can reduce the size of the Inventor model by creating a 'Shrinkwrap Substitute'. This can improve the performance in AutoCAD Plant 3D if this component is used frequently
'Shrinkwrap Substitute' can be found in Inventor under the 'BIM Exchange' environment
Select 'Export Building Components' to package up the Inventor model and relevant component item data
You can assign the component to an OMNI class application type and include important data like Description, Manufacturer, Model No., Cost, etc.
Select 'Ok' to browse to a location to save the ADSK-file output
Start AutoCAD Plant 3D and open the target project
Open the drawing in which you want to insert the Inventor model
Use the command 'Convert Inventor Equipment' to insert the ADSK-model
Place the model into the drawing
A dialog box will pop up there you can set the specific equipment class in which you want to convert the model
