Hi! Inventor Reset Utility is a tool to restore all registry keys and options back to install default. Some users share a computer with others. Sometimes the system level settings are changed and the next user may not like it. This is a quick way to restore the default settings quickly.

Occasionally, the settings are changed possibly due to 3rd party applications or unfound bugs leading to weird behaviors. This reset tool also helps restore the settings and the weird behaviors will be gone.

Many thanks!

Whats the process of resetting? It won't let me delete my dimensions and I have a feeling I need to do the reset

Hi! I could be wrong but your case would not help by resetting all the settings. Inventor Reset Utility helps restoring all the settings in Inventor back to install defaults. But, your case sounds more like a corruption to me.

Many thanks!

interesting! I found the reset button and was able to delete my dimensions after that. Are there any other indicators that it might be corrupted? I'm using it for school (student license) so I'd rather make sure its right now than run into further issues later

Hi! I am not sure. It sounds like a bug. Whenever Inventor Reset Utility helps, it means there is a bug. It should not be needed in the first place. If you can reproduce the behavior, please let us know.

Many thanks!
