retrocompatibility from inv. 2020 to 2019.4

[stefanobruno]

having read among the characteristics of inventor 2020 the presence of retrocompatibility with 2019.4, I wanted to try.
Since my customers use rel. 2019 and 2020 is considerably faster, it would have been a manna.
Too bad that retrocompatibility is a buffalo, inventor 2019.4 opens the file of rel. 2020, but it is a tree-free file of processing and constraints, basically how to open a stp file by jumping export from 2020 and import into 2019.
No comment.

Let's go.

Thanks stefano, I read the same thing and I was interested. a test on the field is worth more than a thousand beautiful words.

Hi.
if I do not erro there was the same thing between 2018 and 2017, using the "anycad" function, behaves like when you open or import a solidworks file keeping the connection to the original file (practically performs a conversion in step and charge it?? )

Good evening to all

and by curiosity, the solid saved in retrocompatible way and then reopened again with 2020 sees magically reappear features and constraints or is lost forever?

back alive, with constraints and features.

the 2020 model, an iam composed of 2 ipts, in 2019 opens as iam and, in the browser, appears the reference to iam2020, with 2 ipts in cascade.
both iam and 2 ipts are not manageable, behave as derivative components, any modification is possible only as processing of "common change ".
reopening the iam file in 2020, appears the note that saying that saving you lose compatibility with the 2019 version, later I will see what this entails.
Works added in 2019 remain available as working together.
I make a change in an ipt and add a working together, then I make a table with 2020 and try to reopen it all in 2019.
in 2019 I open the iam file and see the model with the changes made with 2020, again as it was a imported stp file from any cad, the processes done previously in 2019 were incorporated.
the table does not open, just like in all previous versions, but this no one has ever said it was possible, I hoped but without believing it.
to save, it is not possible to give the same name of the original 2020 file, if you have to make a new copy, I called it 2021.
the reopening in 2020, in the model " 2021.iam " we see all the work, both on the individual ipts and the work together, the together has a level more of derivation.
the table point, clearly to 2020.iam, I change the reference file and I point to " 2021.iam " and, as it was to be expected, lose all quotations and balls.

Basically it is like opening a stp that, when it returns to 2020, regains all its features.
I'd love to go from inventor to rhino, so it's just over the useless.
this is a judgement given after a trial made in no time, maybe I will believe again but, at the moment I do not see why I should work in 2020, pass the file to someone who opens it in 2019 soiling it so that when you return it, modified, I no longer have it in completely native and manageable format.
the only advantage I could have if I passed it to someone who only uses it as a reference, dresses it with the rest of the equipment made in 2019 and returns it to me, but I still have to think about it a bit.

But you couldn't do it before? already with 2018 you can open "without conversion" files 2019... once I went crazy not to understand why 2018 did not make me edit model (using in the browser icons never seen before) until I discovered that the customer had saved in 2019... but I did not try to edit them. . .
