Mesh enabler for autodesk inventor free download

I have logged out and back in numerous times and am only given the "learn more" option. Any ideas how to resolve this? Its only available for some reason to those that pay the repeating yearly subscription fees.. Well, that pretty much sucks. I remember getting an email about 6 months after I made the purchase letting me know that they would be changing over to the subscription format.

You would think I could have been grandfathered in. Does anyone know of another way to obtain the mesh enabler? When you purchased your license for Inventor pro.. I assume it was a perpetual license, is that correct? If not then you are not considered a maintenance subscription person and you would not been grandfathered in. If you did have a maintenance plan and you elected to drop it, then you are not a maintenance subscription candidate either.

IF you do have a active maintenance plan with your perpetual license then yes you are entitled to it. In the end it has nothing to do with the new licensing term based model.. When I made the purchase it was a one time buy for one seat. I did have a years maintenance with the initial purchase but did not renew it. Does that mean I cant buy just the mesh enabler add in? And yes as your maintenance is no longer active you do not have access to it anymore..

Unless you are a valid teacher or student also but then it couldn't be used with your "professional" license either.. I have no doubt someone in this community would be willing to convert the file for me but that doesn't help me in the long run. I wont be that guy that asks someone to do me a favor every time i need a file converted. I gotta say its a little disappointing to not have access to specific features of software that I already own especially since im willing to pay for the add in.

I would prefer to stick with the autodesk parent site but it doesnt look like I have any other options. I appreciate all the provided info. Thanks a lot, guys! Well these are the little benefits that Autodesk provides to entice end users, organization and companies to maintain their subscription. This add-on was not created to generate a few dollars here and there.

Its a bonus if you have a subscription.. Just like the mid-year releases that Autodesk is now providing for Inventor since Inventor In the end, you elected to drop your maintenance plan for some apparent reason and that's your choice.. But people don't realize the importance especially now of a maintenance plan when it comes to a perpetual license.

Some apparent reason? Sarcasm isnt necessary, friend. I dont feel I need to pay for a product that I have had no use for. I have become very proficient with inventor and never used the maintenance package after the first 60 days so why keep paying for it? All im getting at is that it would be nice to have access to the add ins without paying for a bunch of other stuff that isnt needed. You mention that Autodesk does this to entice the end user to maintain a subscription but in my case it has done the exact opposite.

Enabled add-ins on Inventor, but the option "Convert to Base Feature" never shows up. You need to enable first. Sorry, but you should try it. I used this with Inventor , it took min to convert the part, however i am only running this on a laptop. Demorei para conseguir baixar, mais no final deu certo.

Buongiorno, ho a disposizione inventor per studenti in italiano. Cosa posso fare? I use this tool to import. I can convert to solids and edit the designs. Just don't forget to set the load behavior in the Add-in Manager, on "Load Automatically".

This article is very informative, but I'd you help me with a thing. I imported a stl. Also, I cannot calculate the properties mass, volume Inventor doesn't recognize it as a solid.

I wish you could help me with this. If you tick 'Load Automatically' bottom right hand corner it should activate the add on every time you start inventor.

I need the solid. Mesh Enabler was THE promise. Thx and best regards. I suddenly had a problem with this add-in and just had to re-inable it on the tool menu. It works great as long as you have it running. Install the add-in on a working student edition of inventor , but after installing add-in inventor crashes either during splash screen or after splash screen but before home page opens. Inventor stalls out doesn't shut down. Requires force-quitting After waiting long enough it does seem to get past the splash screen, but it still stalls for ages at the home screen open recently used files screen.

It works well. I used it with 3DPrintTech 2. I haven't download the program yet, but I wonder about that which version of inventor does it work with? I will load inventor hsm pro v, any problem?

The installation seems to work but once I am in Inventor Pro and the option "convert to base feature" is missing when right clicking on my object. So it seems to be loading but the menu entry is not there.

How do I fix this? Hey, i had the same issue. I fixed it by going to Tools and clicking on Add-Ins. I noticed that mesh enabler wasnt being loaded for my model, so i selected it and checked the boxes.

Hope this works for you! Can somebody help?? I need the app really really urgently. I too am unable to see the the download despite being on Subscription. As luck would have in I need this urgently to create a Shrinkwrapped part of some Catia files which at the moment are only meshes. Every time I've tried to use Mesh Enabler for a part that really isn't that big, the program crashes. I keep seeing that the bug has been fixed but I'm still having this problem. I can't seem to get the download link to appear.

I am signed in and i click the subscription app button but nothing happens besides more dialogue. Would really like to use this app. To become a subscriber, please contact your reseller to help you. I am in the same boat.

I have logged in, gone to subscription page, and no download. Has anyone figured this out? What a cool tool that addresses a need in my class Where is the link? I click Subscription App but it doesn't let me download. Hey Eric, I was having the same problem and customer support was no help. I think their license server was down for a bit for educational licensing because now I can download it.

This is exactly what I've been needing! Saved me a few times, and couldn't be simpler! The only thing I guess I could ask for would be tools to automatically reduce the mesh size within the tool - but there are plenty of other programs for that try Meshmixer! This works very well! The only problem is that I cannot figure out how to import designs that were exported as mm.

They import as inches and show up very large. You may have solved this already but just in case: When you are importing the model you can click on options and a window will appear. Here you can select the units, by default they should be set to "Template Units" and here you could change it to whatever unit you need. I've installed the addin, and I'm attempting to do a mesh convert from the file as an. IPT, and after accepting the operation, it just seems to hang.

I mean I cannot do a single thing after starting it. A few mouse clicks later, and the 'busy wheel' appears, and Inventor SP1 is no longer responding. I am having the same problem for bigger. Smaller are converted fine. I have waited for hours but nothing happens. Is there a solution besides waiting? I tried to convert a. I have changed the star rating from an original 2 stars to 4 stars now.

Rocky fixed the issue and it seems to work fine now. Thanks Rocky. I am fixing this issue and will publish the newer version. Thanks for your feedback. Thank you Rocky for looking into it.

I am using SP1 so I look forward to the new version when it is available. Seems to work fine now after Rocky fixed it up. Thanks Rocky! This next comment doesn't really have anything to do with how the Mesh Enabler works other than how you import then use the Enabler: Make sure you know what your units are of the. I opened a customer model and it looked correct until I made a measurement and it was 12" the real measurement was 0.

The customer exported in mm and I imported in inch. So it sees the 12 as the value and the import doesn't know or care what it is but as soon as I changed my import option to mm the. Once the. Jeremy, I am having the same problem with it importing in inches when it should be in mm. How did you change the option to import in mm?

Evan, What I did is when you go to open your. That should do it. Keep in mind I believe it keeps as a default when you change that and you may have to go back and return it to whatever units you normally save in. Hope this helps. When it works, works good. Can run the same file twice in a row. One time converts meshes, next it won't. Mesh Enabler. Autodesk, Inc. Digitally signed app. Subscription App.

English is not my native language but doesn't that mean it is supposed to be included? See the screenshot attached.

Yes, same and only student Id that I've been using a few days ago to download Inventor which worked fine. If possible I'd be still interested in trying the Inventor Add In. Please check your license type at manage.
