Inventor- missing logo after exporting to Autocad dwg

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hello,

I have a problem with exporting Inventor idw into Autocad dwg format. I couldn't find a solution on this forum.

After the export, the logo is missing. The export option works fine for all of my coworkers. I have no clue what causes this problem. If i ask anyone else to export the original .idw file it works fine so it seems that the problem is located on my computer. 

I attach the .idw file, the .dwg i get after the export and a screenshot of what i see.

Please help me. What can i do to fix this?

Thanks in advance.

For Windows 10 users, you can install it from:

Uninstall and reinstall Paint and Snipping Tool - Microsoft Support.
