Importing from Inventor does not include the "history"

george_kouman

I am referring to all the features of a part like extrusions, fillets etc that I can selectively modify. When I import an .ipt file I get the part imported ok but all features are "hidden" from the list so I cannot edit them. 
Is this something Onshape does not support or is it something I need to check on Inventor when saving/exporting?

@george_kouman importing data from other platforms never reads in feature history. Some tools will try to recognize features and recreate the tree but the native tree do not come along for the ride. 

We we try to add enough tools to modify some features as mentioned above.

This is something that any two cad software doesn't support. Some software have feature recognizion but the result vary.

Onshape has decent direct edit tools for editing fillets etc. I'd suggest trying them and of course it's best if you just use Onshape from the beginning.
