Convert DWG to IPJ

What is DWG file?

The DWG file (short for "drawing") is an AutoCAD drawing database file used to store two and three-dimensional design data and metadata. It is a proprietary format created and controlled by Autodesk to store CAD data and in some instances it can also include user-defined object data. The latest version of the DWG file format released by Autodesk is AutoCAD 2020 DWG. [ ⏩ ] DWG file extension

What is IPJ file?

The IPJ (Inventor Project File) file extension is a binary file used by the Autodesk Inventor software to store 3D projects. Autodesk Inventor is a suite of 3D mechanical engineering and design software solutions used for product simulation, visualization as well as system design validation. The IPJ file type is version-specific and supports data persistence, reuse of existing designs, reuse of engineering materials as well as interoperability between programs. [ ⏩ ] IPJ file extension

How to convert the file from DWG to IPJ?

To successfully convert the DWG file to IPJ, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.DWG). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case IPJ (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than IPJ).

What is a file conversion?

A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. DWG to IPJ. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.

Program for converting DWG files to IPJ files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension IPJ, while before this step we had the DWG file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new IPJ file, or not.
