Hi

I work as a Product Manager in Altium's R&D department. I'm doing some background research for a new feature and would be grateful if anyone who works on PCB designs in Inventor could tell me how they go about defining any areas (for example component keepout, component keepin, copper keepout etc) on a board? E.g. sketches on a surface in the 3D model or in a 2D drawing, which get exported in a DXF, or extruded features exported as STEPs etc? As far as I can see there is no way to export an IDF file from Inventor natively (I realise there is third party software that allows it).

Many thanks

Jack
