Dear JDMather,

 

Thanks for your Support,

 

We are able to open the step(*.stp) file but we want to edit the 3D object in 2014 version. This is important to us because we are already having the license of Inventor 2014 in our head office. hope you understand and help us.

 

Thank you

 

IT Support.

Do the step out .. mentioned above however after that use the add in Feature Recognition http://apps.exchange.autodesk.com/INVNTOR/en/Detail/Index?id=appstore.exchange.autodesk.com:FeatureR... This will be a long process depending on how many parts and assemblies in this .. Mike

Most if not all 3d cad packages are NOT backward compatible with native file types.

If you knew your home office was running 2014 you should be too if you expect them to be able to easily open/edit the files.

 

So now your only option is to save out as step files and use feature recognition like suggested above..

Or get them to upgrade to 2015

Thats just how it is.
