Export to older versions

Hi All,

Is it possible to export files from Inventor 20023 to an older version, 2011.

Officially, there is no such possibility. Inventor is a parametric program and remembers the history of the model. For this reason, a safeguard is necessary in case someone opens a file with new operations in an older program that does not have such functions. That's why we have no backward compatibility.

But you can get around this by for example generating a Step file which you will successfully open in an older version.

Hi Kacper,

Thanks for that tip, much appreciated., it's saved me hours of work trying to convert files to older Autocaad files and then open in my old Inventor.
