How can you create a new project in Inventor?

Creating a new project in Autodesk Inventor is done using the 'Projects' dialog from the main application menu. This method provides a dedicated interface where users can specify all the necessary parameters for the new project, such as its name, location, and any associated folder structure. The 'Projects' dialog allows for configuration options that ensure the project is set up correctly and tailored to specific needs, ensuring organized management of files and resources.

Selecting New Project from the File menu, while it may sound plausible, actually does not directly lead to creating a new project; rather, it generally refers to creating a new file or document rather than the comprehensive project setup required in Inventor. Opening an existing project and saving it as a new file, although it might create a new version or variant of a project, does not constitute the proper creation of a new project with distinct settings and organization features. Importing project settings from another software is also not a method of creating a new project; it pertains more to configuring an existing project based on data from other sources, which does not establish an independent project environment in Inventor.
