I just upgraded to Inventor 2012 from Inv 2010. I noticed that all of my previously created .dwg files have a different DWG Icon but my main concern is when I go to the open dialogue box to open a .dwg file (it being one that was created in Inventor 2010 or a newly created .dwg from Inventor 2012) when I highlight over the .dwg file I want to open , the information in the OPEN dialogue box indicates the file is a FUSION file type.
Something tells me that something isn't right. I am working with Inventor Professional 2012....NOT Inventor FUSION 2012. Will this cause problems later on if I am not using FUSION or what?
How do I make the file type in the open dialogue indicate the dwg is really an Inventor .dwg file type?
Could anyone please break this down for me?
Fusion use the DWG file type as well. The Autodesk suits have a seperate tool that works in the background that checks your DWG files to see which programe created them so that it can open them with the right programe.
It's likely that betweeen the Autodesk Suite and Windows - the wrong programme has been alocated to DWG's.
However, just starting up AutoCAD and opening a few of these files should get things re-sync'd.
Let us know how you get on.

Once you open the DWG file in Inventor and save it - Inventor shoud then be seen as the 'owner' of the DWG file and the icon should change.
If this dosn't work - try right clicking in any DWG file and chosing 'Open with' and chose Inventor from the menu - this is a microsoft windows thing...
