Database issue after "Pack and Go"

I have perfromed a "Pack and Go" on a large assembly. I subsequently moved
the files to my laptop, which has Inventor View. When I try to open any of
the assemblies I get the message:

"The database in C:/(Fill in the file name) could not be opened."

I can open the ipt files with no issues, only the iam files give the above
error.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris Breidenbaugh

Will Inv open the Assemblies ?

You might find it worthwhile re-selecting Tools --> App Ops --> Save(tab) --> Prompt
to save for re-computable updates.

Open the top level assembly - not the P&G'd version

Then File --> Save All.

Then File --> Close All

The P&G

Open the top level P&G'd assembly and Save All, Close All.

I'll try that.

Yes, Inventor will open all iam and ipt files.

I'll be back in the office on Saturday, I'll give your ideas a shot then
(till then enjoying sunny North Carolina 😉
