Inventor problems

[Rickertsen2]

Riiighht.... So how do i unconfuse inventor when it freaks out because i moved an assembly and associated files from one computer to another? At least i think that's the problem. Anyway, i moved some filez from one computer to another and now whenever i try to open any of them, I get a message "error in reading RSe streamer segment." Uhhh... How do i fix this??

Did you move the part with the assembly file too? I've never had any problems with Moving files.

yep, all the parts are there. I know that's not the problem bc i can't even open the individual part files. Same message.

Same Inventor Version I'm assuming?

I know they are both 5.x. I'm not sure about subversion.

Grrr..... After some googling, it seems that this is the error you get when you try to open files from diff versions. I guess subversions do matter. I'm not sure i completely trust that though. If that were true then how come the files from flaces like csbliss and First Cad Library work fine for me. Are they saved in a really early version format or something?
Grrr.... Anybody have a .ipt to .step converter?

That error message sounds like an Inventor version problem. Even within a major rev, you may have problems, such as between 5.0 and 5.3, in my experience.

We also had a similar problem....we had to make project files to transfer files between computers or the computer would get confused.
