IPT

An IPT file extension is used for Autodesk Inventor objects.

Autodesk Inventor is a CAD application that engineers and product designers use to construct prototypes of mechanical products. These prototypes, referred to as assemblies, consist of several individual parts joined together. Each Inventor part is saved in an IPT file.

Inventor users can import IPT parts from outside the program or create their IPT parts using the Inventor's part design tools. Typically, users begin by creating a 2D drawing of a part before transforming that drawing into a 3D model. Thus, an IPT file may contain either a 2D or 3D object. Files in IPT format can be opened using Autodesk Inventor 2017, Autodesk Inventor View 2017, Autodesk Fusion 360, and SpaceClaim Engineer.

3D PDF

3D PDF is a PDF file with 3D geometry inside. Using any 3D PDF enabled viewer, rotation, zoom and part selection is available within the 3D view.

3D PDF is just like a normal PDF (Portable Document Format) file, which contains a 3D view somewhere on some page. Just like a PDF containing an embedded image, except when you put the mouse over it, you can rotate, zoom, pan and explore the scene in 3D (three dimensions). The file actually contains a 3D geometric representation of the scene, not just images from different viewpoints.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of converting IPT to 3D PDF in CAD Exchanger?

CAD Exchanger Lab is an easy-to-use 3D viewer and converter to read and write 30+ key 3D formats. It allows you to view and convert files, measure objects, build sectioning views, explode assemblies, create meshes and view PMI.

High-performance visualization, precise geometry, B-Rep modeling, turning individual assemblies and parts on and off make CAD Exchanger a useful tool for all facets of a design project.

Is there an SDK to build a IPT to 3D PDF conversion feature in my own application?

Software libraries to read, write and visualize 3D CAD files, including IPT and 3D PDF, are available in CAD Exchanger SDK, a set of C++ / C# / Java / Python libraries to develop fast and robust 3D applications.

Is there an option to batch convert IPT to 3D PDF files in CAD Exchanger?

Batch conversion feature is available in CAD Exchanger Batch (Command Line Interface), a light-weight server-based solution for batch conversions of CAD data in corporate or cloud environments.

How are CAD Exchanger products licensed?

For CAD Exchanger Lab, there are two licensing models – perpetual and subscription – which differ in access duration, either perpetual or for 12 months.

There are individual seat licenses which are per user, per seat (and are linked to a fixed MAC address), and team licenses which enable group access, either on a server or within a network domain.

Any license includes access to all formats and all features.

Subscription includes access to all releases within the subscription period. To get access to new versions under the perpetual license, annual maintenance must be purchased additionally.
