I have this presentation I volunteered for Career Day for children elementary through high school on mechanical engineering. I can’t show them the stuff I do for work because it’s too complicated to catch the interest of the younger children and it’s all proprietary. Digging through my old files, I found this robotic arm I thought might be interesting. Unfortunately, when I try to open it, I get this error message “the file is too old to open.” It gets hung up when I attempt to migrate. I tried running it on Inventor 4 because that’s the oldest version I can find and it might work more smoothly on the limited resources of my laptop. Does anyone have later versions of the robotic arm demo or know of other assemblies appropriate for my audience?
R1 Beta - wow thats a piece of history. My understanding is that we dont
support earlier that Inventor 5.3 (please note that is not official as I
said it my understanding and I could be wrong)
What version of Inventor are you using? We do have lots of samples in the
Samples folder could'nt you use that? I do vaguely remember the robot arm.
Cheers

Not sure what robotic Arm it is, but Sean has one on his site
www.sdotson.com and it is also posted here
http://mfgcommunity.autodesk.com/content/peer?edit[category]=Gallery that
might work for you?

Charles, what does "support" mean? If we have issues opening files older
than 5.3 does this means we're SOL? If so, this concerns me as we have vast
stores of files that are in R1-R5.3 format that we do need to open from time
to time. Could you clarify?

No, it's a detail toy robotic arm Kevin McHugh created. However, I'm considering other examples too. That was just a really cool looking, light weight demo that my 1 GHz Laptop with 384 MB of ram could probably handle. Also, I thought the kids might better relate.
Thanks, I found two robotic arms there. Neither was the one I was looking for. However, they both look cool and could work for my demonstration, but my laptop is only a 1 GHz with 384 MB of RAM so I loaded the oldest version of Inventor I could find, INV 4. Attached is an AVI of the arm I was trying to use, but the files are too old to even be read by INV 4.
Please dont take this as gospel I am most likely wrong and I dont want to
create a strom in a teacup. I have heard that we are supposed to support all
the way back to R1. I will ask the question later on today and try and get
some clarification on this.
I dont we are are in the business of making anybody fell like "SOL".
Thx
