autocad 2014 and inventor 2013

I made an assembly and a DWG drawing in Inventor.The DWG drawing from Inventor always stay in paper space. I could not make it to Model space. Also I could not copy and insert it to other dwg drawing in Autocad.  I want to manually modify it in AutoCAD. but I could not. Please help.

The file is an Inventor DWG.  This is only able to be viewed in Autocad, not able to be modified.  If you want to modify drawing in Autocad you need to export and an AutoCAD DWG file.  This exported file will no longer be parametrically linked back to the Inventor file so any changes done will no be linked back to the Inventor model.

There should be an options button when you choose export to AutoCAD DWG. (Don't choose Inventor DWG) The options will allow you to specify model space or paper space for your view. You can even select a base view and have it's model exported to model space.
