Question

Inventor files in Creo model

Is it possible to import a model from inventor into Creo and keep an associative link?
Or has PTC made it impossible without the collaboration extension?

I've only used the unite technology once or twice so I'm a bad source of info...I suppose it depends on exactly what you are looking for.

I'm looking for a model that can be updated via inventor and have the changes reflected in the creo model.

It will be a visual reference and some light dimensioning.

I'm fairly sure the native 'Unite' capability will automatically re-import the source data anytime it changes.  The collaboration extension should only be needed if you want to be able to take the Inventor data that has been imported to Creo (converted to a Creo file behind the scenes) and output it back to Inventor as a native Inventor file.
