To exchange data with mechanical design and engineering products from Autodesk, such as Autodesk® AutoCAD or Autodesk® Inventor® software, a commercial DirectConnect translator is not needed. The DirectConnect software should however be installed to enable these imports.

Autodesk DirectConnect’s a family of data translators that lets you import and export CAD data into:
-Autodesk Alias
-Autodesk Maya
-Autodesk Showcase
-Autodesk Opticore Studio

Each Autodesk DirectConnect translator lets you import a specific CAD file format into one or more of the Autodesk software products listed above. In addition, you can export some CAD file formats from some products with Autodesk DirectConnect."; function tShowHide(id, show) { var s = document.getElementById("desc"); if ((s.innerHTML.length<=212 || show==1) && show!=2) { s.innerHTML = fDesc[id]; if (document.getElementById('m1')) document.getElementById('m1').style.display='none'; if (document.getElementById('m2')) document.getElementById('m2').style.display='none'; if (document.getElementById('more_txt')) document.getElementById('more_txt').style.display='inline'; } else { s.innerHTML = ''; } }
