Inventor 2022 STEP import issue

Hi I'm trying to import some step files into IV 2022.

But I end up with this:

From these settings Note assembly options are greyed out.

It works if I import it to IV2023

Is there a setting in IV 2022 that I am missing or have to set?

What software generated the step file?

Remove the Appearance override.

Hi! This usually means the Appearance Library or the Material Library, or both are corrupted. The default styles carry unnecessary bitmap texture. Please try activating Autodesk Material Library and Autodesk Appearance Library. Then restart the machine and import the STEP file. Does it work better now?

Many thanks!

I also activated the autodesk libraries, which also did not work.

Hi! The Inventor Material Library is the default library. Please try making Autodesk Material Library as the default library. Then restart Inventor.

Many thanks!
