About ATB-enabled Autodesk Inventor
The import of Autodesk Inventor *.ipt part and *.iam assembly files creates Translated Image Models (TIMs) in Creo. Autodesk Inventor part *.ipt files import as TIM parts or assemblies. Autodesk Inventor assembly *.iam files convert to TIM assemblies. The TIMs show standard Associative Topology Bus (ATB) behavior just as the TIMs created by the import of all other 3D formats that support ATB.
You can use the ATB commands on the TIMs created by the import of the Autodesk Inventor files to Creo Parametric as follows:
• The Check Status command to check the status of the TIMs.
• The Update command to update the TIMs that are identified as out-of-date.
• The Change Link command to change the links of TIMs.
• The Make Independent command to break the association between TIMs and the original reference models.

 Creo Parametric does not support the selective import of Autodesk Inventor assemblies. The Read Graphics and the Read Master commands are also not available for Autodesk Inventor TIM assemblies and components. Therefore, you cannot change the representation of the Autodesk Inventor TIM assemblies and subassembly components in Creo Parametric to product structures with display data or to their master representation. |
You can right-click a TIM component or an import feature on the Model Tree and click Information > ATB Info on the shortcut menu to view the details of the Autodesk Inventor TIMs and the ATB-enabled features in the Information Window.
