What is IPT file?
The IPT file extension is a 3D part file created by Autodesk Inventor, a 3D mechanical design software used in the CAD industry. The IPT files store the parts of an assembly model, which can include mechanical components such as pipes, tubes, wires, and other forms of parts used for 3D modelling. An IPT file is comprised of a single component, which when included in an assembly will make up a multi-part model. [ ⏩ ] IPT file extension
What is JT file?
The .JT file extension is most commonly associated with the JT Open CAD software, a lightweight 3D modeling program developed by Siemens. This file format is an open source, neutral data format used to store and exchange 3D product models. JT Open CAD files are comprised of three-dimensional models with user attributes, detailed product geometry, and image data. JT Open CAD files are also used to represent product hierarchies and visual configurations. [ ⏩ ] JT file extension
Software, that you can use to convert
How to convert the file from IPT to JT?
To successfully convert the IPT file to JT, 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.IPT). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case JT (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 JT).
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. IPT to JT. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting IPT files to JT 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 JT, while before this step we had the IPT file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new JT file, or not.
