When trying to open Inventor part or assembly files (IPT, IAM) in 3ds Max, a warning appears that the Inventor Interoperability component is not installed.
The solution may require one, or a combination of the following:
Go to the Autodesk Accounts page or the Autodesk Access and make sure that the latest update is applied.
Existing profiles and Antivirus software can cause 3ds Max components to be skipped silently. The install will complete without errors, but is missing certain features.
3ds Max 2020 contains core files that allow better Inventor functionality for 3ds Max 2021 and 2022.
