Translate a Source File Packaged as a Zip File
About this walkthrough
This walkthrough guides you through the process of translating an Inventor model into the STL format. The Inventor model consists of an Inventor assembly file (.iam) and several part files (.ipt) referenced by the assembly file. The referenced files have been packaged with the host model as a zip file. Having the files packaged as a zip file provides the convenience of handling the translation job with the ease of translating a single source file.
Besides packaging referenced files with the host as a zip file, Model Derivative supports a workflow that lets you deal with the host model and referenced files individually. This is demonstrated in the walkthrough Translate a Source File that Contains References.
