It allows you to read in an OBJ or STL file and see it in Inventor. It’s an add-in that uses client graphics and client features, plus a lot of code of my own. The Facet Enabler add-in became the result. (OBJ and STL files are formats that define a model using a mesh of triangles.) It was difficult for them to use this data in Inventor and it seemed to me like something could be done to improve the process and it became a pet project of mine. In one of their classes the students need to create an Inventor model to fit around a model that’s defined by an OBJ file. The program came about after I visited a university a couple of years ago that is using Inventor as part of their engineering program. A big reason I’m posting it here is that I continue to get requests for the program and this will provide a better way to distribute and update it than the newsgroup. This posting isn’t about how to use the API but is an example of what can be done with the API and hopefully is useful to some of you.
