The .ipj file does not open Inventor 2020 with its project.

[Malenki]

Hi,

I have had a problem for some time. I run a file, e.g. filename.ipj by double-clicking it in the Files Explorer  of system. Inventor opens, but with the project that was used previously instead of the project assigned to filename.ipj. The desired project can be set only from the Run menu (Projects icon) in the open Inventor instance. What happened suddenly? Can anyone show me how to fix this situation?

Help me please...

Thank you for the idea, but I didn't pass the exam.

Nevertheless, something touched me and I looked into the windows registry. The key branch [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ Inventor.ProjectDocument \ Shell \ Open \ Command] contains a default value: "C:\\Program Files\\Autodesk\\Inventor 2020\\BinInventor.exe /pf \"%1\"". The problem is that there is no such file in my system (under the name BinInventor.exe). I get the impression that the last update removed it and this is the source of my problem.
Can anyone confirm this and possibly give me the BinInventor.exe file for Inventor Release 2020.1.1. (Build 239)?

The path you show is incorrect.  Bin is the folder in which Windows should find the Inventor.exe file.  The path is missing a folder delimiter.

No positive result. Thank you.

You are perceptive. I noticed that too. I have improved the path. However, it doesn't matter if it's backslash or not. The problem continues. Thanks.

I would like to inform you that after using the update 2020.2.2 everything has returned to normal and is OK :-). Thank you for the discussion.
Greetings.

HI All,

I have found a solution to the problem, try InventorReset.exe in C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Inventor 2020\Bin, open your inventor it would have reset to default, now close inventor and reopen using IPJ file.

It would work now.

Thanks

Thank you, thank you!

I was facing this problem since long time. I'm working with Inventor since 2007, and with multiple project, and I always starting openning the IPJ file!

Many Thanks!

Also after resetting Inventor as proposed I had to go to the .ipj icon and change the properties to open with Inventor. 

That worked!

Thanks

Hi, whenever I am opening any inventor project file i am facing this issue. Any solution? I tried almost everything. 

[atinderghara]

[D0UGLAS]

I have this problem with the Release: 2021.1.2, what has changed?

How do I fix it?

[atinderghara]

press windows key on keyboard and type inventor reset and rest your 2021 inventor...

[D0UGLAS]

Thanks, but a reset does not solve the problem.
