Save Inventor 2015 Files to 2014

Me and my colleague have an assembly that we need to export to obj.

Our software that does this only supports up to inventor 2014 files.

So, we need to find a way to save our assembly as a 2014 part to use with our software.

What is the best FREE method to save inventor 2015 files as 2014 OR export it to OBJ from 2015.

Export as a STEP file, then import that STEP into Inventor 2014.

Reading the problem description - why would it matter if constraints are lost?

I will answer your question with a question...  Why would you not want the constraints?  It is a pain in the rear to take the time to redo them.  Total waist of time.

Here is the original problem statement, "Me and my colleague have an assembly that we need to export to obj."

 They DON'T have a way for you to open files backward to previous releases. It is how they make things frustrating. I deal with the step file mess all the time between me and the tool shops I deal with. They hate it too. The tool shops have 3D software that will open Inventor no matter what version, but not Autodesk, oh nooooo. They'd lose customers, i.e., money.
