I guys I've just newly installed Autodesk inventor 2012 to my computer and when I click on new to make a "drawing" it doesn't give me any templates at all even when I make a new project it doesn't let me do it and when I fallow the directory to the templates they are all there

and is I drag and drop the templates into the program it will boot them up but not let me do anything with them so if you could help me I would greatly appreciate that

by the way I'm a student so i got the program for free which makes it an educational version

What is your Operating System?  Windows 8?

Have you installed all Service Packs and Updates for Inventor 2012?

Hi! Based on your description, I can think of two cases on top of my head. First, start up Inventor without opening any file -> Project -> Folder options -> Templates. Is the path the same as the one you looked at? Second, if the templates path is set correctly, it is possible the template files are incompatible with Inventor 2012. Go to File Explorer -> find the template files -> rigt-click on any of them -> iProperties ->  Version. Check what was the Inventor release the file was last saved.

Please report back your findings.

Thanks!
