Can you share it?

You should be able to:

Do you have all of the updates installed?

Upload to A360 and provide download link.

Here's what I would do..

First get a copy of it and place it locally and not on the network.

Use this and see what it looks like.  Make sure there's usable data there.

If there is, open it locally and not across your network.

oh thats a big file..

Had my computer pegged at 4.96Ghz/93% processor utilization/7G of Ram usage for Inventor only for a good 10 minutes before I canceled out of it as it was still reporting only 40% (and had been so since minute 1)

I couldn't get it in 2016 (maybe the file is newer than what the translator can handle)

2017 (here is ref, but worked both ways)

2018, same worked in both translations ....

@johnsonshiue maybe can look at it

Before I even try on my best machine - how long did you have to wait?
