Inventor 2022 can not overwrite STL files.

I export my models to stl format to 3D print.   But if I overwrite the existing file it does not change.  Also if I open an existing stl file and save it as a part, I can not then open another version of it and save it as the same name.   When working on a new part I really don't want to keep changing the name and creating multiple old copies. 

 

When I update the model and export it to stl and keep the old name and the file doesn't update then I don't know about it until the print comes out wrong.   Hours later.   Not very helpful.

 

When I create an stl file with another program and then try to reload the stl in Inventor and have to change the name, my assemblies then have to be updated to the new model name, and constraints change.

Surely others have this same issues.   Running Win 10.  Inventor 2022.

Hi! Many thanks for sharing the detail of the issue! But, I cannot seem to reproduce the STL issue. If possible, please share a file or a video showing the workflow.

Thanks again!
