    I don't have Inventor, but do have HSMWorks for Solidworks and was able to export a .step file, bring it into Solidworks and generate toolpaths in HSM.  I can't imagine there should be a problem doing the same thing in inventor.

    very cool to know. Im working with hsmxpress now and it seems to be working just fine. Wish i had hsm works thats why i was hoping it might work for fusion or inventor. :)

    I believe that what's under the hood for HSM code-wise is the same across Inventor, the Solidworks plugin, and Fusion 360.  Along those lines of thinking, if it works in one environment, it probably works in all of them and if it doesn't work in one of them, it probably doesn't work in any of them.
