    Inventor 2013 open *.prt (Pro/E file) issue

    Does any body know why Inventor 2013 cannot open an *.prt (Pro/E) file as attached?

     

    I can open it in Inventor 2009, but when I tried to open it in Inventor 2013, it said "Unable to convert Pro/ENGINEER or Creo Parametric file to Inventor file."

    Opened as a Solidworks file in Inventor 2012. File is blank.

    Opens well  as Pro/E-PRT in 2010, too.

    2011 and newer versions refuse.

    First thing I noticed is that there was a space in the filename. Pro/E doesn't allow spaces in filenames?

    After removing the space - I was able to open the file in Creo 2.0

     

    Edit - I was able to open the file in Inventor 2013.

    Interesting; Jeffrey.

    Renaming to RPEE_LEN.prt did it here, too.

     

    Thanks

    Thanks lot, Guys!

     

    After removing space, it works.

     

    Inventor 2009 accept space, 2013 does not.
