Open command

Provides access to the Open dialog box, where you specify one or more files to open or import.

If you open a file in a folder that is not part of the project, resolve its links. We recommend that you add the paths for all files to the project before working on them.

If a DWG (.dwg) file does not contain any Autodesk Inventor data, you can either import it or open it directly.

If a DWG file contains Autodesk Inventor data, you can no longer import the file into Autodesk Inventor. Open the file only as an Autodesk Inventor drawing (.dwg).
