TRY IT: Restore an old version of a file
1 Click File ➤ Open.
2 Browse to the file you want to restore from the OldVersions directory. The
Open Version dialog box is displayed.
3 Select one of the options in the Open Version dialog box:
Open old version Opens the old version of the file. Because the cur-
rent file still exists, you cannot save the opened
version. Use Save Copy As to save a copy.
Restores the selected old version as the current
version. The current version is not lost, but it be-
comes a file in the Old Versions folder.
Restore old version
to current version
Opens the current version of the file.Open current ver-
sion
4 Click OK.
Every time you save a file, a new globally unique version ID (GUID) is
assigned to the file. Each Autodesk Inventor session remembers the ID
version it is accessing. If you try to reopen the file at the normal location
and the version ID has changed, Autodesk Inventor searches the
OldVersions\ folder and then opens the appropriate version of the file.
The version of the opened file is used from then on to access additional
information.
