alphacam inventor import issue
Hi,
I am fairly new to alphacam and i am using it now to create basic programs for a cnc machine.
But in the future we want to create more complex items.
For this we want to use inventor to create the item then import it to alphacam to create the machine program.
But when i try to import any file into alphacam it gives an error message "Failed to translate"
Does anybody know why this happens.
Or do i need to do something special with the inventor file?
thanks

When you select "input cad" does it give a list of file types?
The type of alphacam your using might be restricting to type of file you can insert

You just need to have the newest InventorWiever - it's free - AC uses this to convert .ipt files

Hi, try to upload a file to here - then it's easier to answer - we normally just use "drag and drop" from folder to AC - no problems..
Re: alphacam inventor import issue
Comes to my mind - but should not be a problem if You have Inventor, and not just the viewer? But the viewer 2019 needs viewer 2018 installed as well, as it misses some translators
