How do I read wire entities into Inventor?

There is an issue with Inventor that prevents it from reading both solids and lines in the same file. The work around is to output two *.sat files: one with the wires and another with everything else.

You can do this in TransMagic, using the following procedure:

1. Click on the background in the 3D Display (this will deselect everything so you get the correct menu in Step 2)
2. Right Click -> Filter Selection -> Window Selection Options -> Body: Wire Only
3. Window select the entire part, only the wires should be highlighted in yellow.
4. File -> Export -> Save the selected geometry as a wire.sat
5. Right Click -> Filter Selection -> Window Selection Options -> Body: Solid Only(and/or Surface Only)
6. Window select the entire part, only the surfaces/solids should be highlighted in yellow.
7. File -> Export -> Save the selected geometry as a solid.say
8. Read both of these individually back into TransMagic to verify that they contain the entities separately.
9. Read one of the files and import the second into Inventor.

You should now have everything you need in Inventor 10.
