How to import external Pack and Go?

Hello!

Disclaimer: I never worked in Inventor, total newbie.

I have received a Pack & Go assembly (see attached screenshot) - how do I go about opening and using this?

The task that I have been given is to make a "lightweight" version of this to export via NWC / STEP to our 3d modelling software - equipment from the Pack&Go is just part of a very big assembly line, when I import the STEP given by the supplier I have a massive performance drop, as the supplier just exports to STEP everything - for the 3d modelling of the entire production line I just need the outer shell.

Thank you for your help 🙂

Go to Workspace folder, straight or via Inventor, find 009304-5019.iam and open.

First open the ipj file in that location with inventor (Double click), or choose in Inventor this project file.

Than goto the Workspace folder and open the file.

All relations should be ok now due to the use of th ipj file.

Regards,
