The next step is to export a jt file from Autodesk Inventor.

Open the file you want to export and then click the Inventor logo on the top left of the Inventor window. Expand Save As, and then click the Save Copy As command.

Click the Options button.

Set the settings in the dialog box. For assemblies, use the Monolithic structure. Click OK when you're finished.

Click the Save button

Now open Windows Explorer, and then browse to the folder where you saved the JT file.

Open Word, Excel, or PowerPoint, and then drag the JT file from Windows Explorer to the document.

Why is this Important?
Communication is very important. After all, the true purpose of Inventor is to communicate ideas and designs to others. By extending this ability to Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents you can enhance your message to your readers.
