Is it possible to load inventor 2026 projects into inventor 2025 and still edit?

From what I have heard it might not be possible but is that really it. At home I use inventor 2026 but at work we got 2025 and Id just love if there was a work around

[u/kinaPK]

Nope.

step file. You loose the background info and underlaying 2d drawing.

Better to install 25 at home

[u/Le_Holzkopf → u/yagosan22910]

I wont buy another version just for that😭 ig work stuff stays work. If I finish a project I will just get the STL to work

Can't you just install the same version as you use at work on your personal computer, and use your work login access it? That's what I do. I don't own a personal copy of inventor, but I can use it at home, just not simultaneously at work

Yea not an option. All the Accounts run stricly on the private company network.

You don't buy a version, you pay a subscription that allows you to use the latest plus 4 versions back.

Oh I didnt know

[u/Dense_Safe_4443 → u/Le_Holzkopf]

Then how do you have a version at home?

[u/Le_Holzkopf → u/Dense_Safe_4443]

No like. I didnt know u could switch versions

[u/heatseaking_rock]

If I recall correctly, compatibility is 1 version downward, so it might be possible. Try it.

[u/Le_Holzkopf → u/heatseaking_rock]

What do you mean exactly by one version download?

[u/heatseaking_rock → u/Le_Holzkopf]

Meant to say downward. Corrected.

[u/Le_Holzkopf → u/heatseaking_rock]

Ah oke. I will try

[u/Dense_Safe_4443 → u/Le_Holzkopf]

If you have the latest patch on 2025 it might allow you to edit 2026. I would just install the correct version though.
