Start Max
Under the Customize Menu choose Plugins Path

Click use path ( It can be named inventor )

Close Max and restart.

Under the File Import, Inventor files are now available, both part files and assembly files.

It imports the files as an editable mesh

Assemblies import into max in one scene as seperate objects in named Filename01 Filenaem02 etc.....
