    Sorry, but the export to a neutral format is the only solution for backwards (older version) conversion.

    Hi!

    Try Save Copy As Catia V5 Product (*.CATProduct), pay attention to the versions (in Inventor 2012 can save since 10 to 19)

    I think the Inventor 2010 can open Catia V5 Produtcs (=assemblies) but I do not remember.

    The colors are retained certainty.

    Are your colors set at the part level or at the assembly level in Inventor?
