When attempting to open an Inventor file (ipt or iam), the below errors may occur…

When attempting to open an Inventor assembly file (iam), the below errors may occur…

No assembly components can be found

Cannot find ACIS Solid data in Inventor File
Assembly files (iam) reference part files (ipt), therefore they must be present in the same folder as the assembly file in order for Mastercam to be able to open this file.

However, in some cases, there may be mapping issues to the part files. Therefore another option would be to save a different file format out of Inventor such as a Parasolid.
