What’s new in AutoDXF?

 

AutoDXF v5 has been updated to fully support the major changes introduced in Inventor 2022. AutoDXF v5 allows you to work with assemblies with multiple model states and can process sheet metal components with defined model states. AutoDXF v5 works with Autodesk Inventor 2022, while AutoDXF v4 remains available for older Inventor versions.
