How do you open an existing Inventor file?

Opening an existing Inventor file can typically be accomplished by using the "Open" command, which allows you to browse to the desired file location. This method is the most standard and widely recognized approach, ensuring that you can access files stored in various directories on your system. The "Open" command provides a user-friendly interface, where you can navigate through folders and identify the specific file you wish to work with.

While it is also possible to select a file from a recent documents list, this option is limited to files that have been recently accessed, and may not include everything you need. Dragging and dropping the file can be a quick way to open it, but it relies on having the file visible and accessible in your file explorer or desktop. Using voice commands to open files is not a standard feature in Autodesk Inventor and does not guarantee successful file opening, as it would depend on specific software settings and capabilities.

Overall, utilizing the "Open" command ensures a more reliable method of accessing Inventor files while providing flexibility in file navigation.
