If you're working with 3D models, chances are you've come across OBJ files. These files are commonly used for 3D graphic design and can be opened and edited in Autodesk Inventor, a popular design software. Here's how to easily edit OBJ files in Inventor.

Step 1: Open the OBJ File

The first step is to open the OBJ file in Autodesk Inventor. Simply go to 'File' > 'Open' and select the OBJ file you want to edit.

Step 2: Convert to IPT or IAM

Once the OBJ file is open, you'll need to convert it to an Inventor part or assembly file (IPT or IAM). This can be done by going to 'File' > 'Save As' and selecting the appropriate file format.

Step 3: Edit the Model

Now that the OBJ file is in an editable format, you can make any necessary changes to the model. Use the various design tools and features in Inventor to modify the geometry, add details, or make any other adjustments.

Step 4: Save the Changes

After you've made the desired edits, be sure to save the changes to the file. This will ensure that your modifications are retained and can be easily accessed in the future.

Step 5: Export as OBJ

If you need to export the edited model back to an OBJ file, simply go to 'File' > 'Export' and select the OBJ file format. This will allow you to use the edited model in other applications or share it with others.

By following these simple steps, you can easily edit OBJ files in Autodesk Inventor and take full advantage of its powerful 3D modeling capabilities. Whether you're making minor tweaks or significant changes, using Inventor to edit OBJ files can streamline your design process and help bring your ideas to life. Try it out and see how it can enhance your 3D modeling workflow.
