BIM Family Toolkit Now Available for Inventor 2012 and Revit 2012

The BIM Family Toolkit Technology Preview allows you to easily export Inventor configuration data from iParts and iAssemblies (parameters, file properties & component visibility) directly to Revit families. Once the family data has been imported into Revit, you can create a simplified version and leverage the imported parameters and properties to reduce the amount of time it takes you to create BIM Ready Models.

This recent update adds a set of installers for 2012. The 2011 installers are still present. The add-on for Inventor 2011 and Revit 2011 will still expire and cease operation on August 1, 2011; however, the add-on for Inventor 2012 and Revit 2012 will expire and cease operation on November 20, 2011.

You can interoperate between 2011 and 2012 versions:
