When running Inventor, one or more of these symptoms might be visible:
The local Inventor settings may be corrupted. Resetting to the original default values may solve the issue.
Use the Inventor Reset Utility to restore the settings to the original default values. First, back up the customized settings and options to restore them after the reset is completed.
Note: Be sure to save the backup XML files to the Desktop. The reset deletes any files in the default Inventor folder location.

The Inventor Reset Utility is available with Inventor 2016 and later. The tool can be found under Autodesk Inventor in Windows Start.
Note: If an Inventor version before 2016 is used, the attachment at the bottom of this article can be downloaded and extracted. Double-click the executable file to run the Inventor Reset Utility.
The Inventor Reset Utility detects and displays the versions of Inventor installed on the machine. By default, the utility selects the version initiated most recently, but another version can be chosen to be reset.
