Importing Inventor assemblies into SW2009

Importing Inventor assemblies into SW2009

Importing Inventor assemblies into SW2009

(OP)
When I try to open an Inventor assembly in Solidworks all of the Inventor parts are replaced by the Inventor assembly base part.  If I have one base plate and five other parts in the Inventor assembly, I get 6 base plates in place of all the original parts.  Anyone have this problem?

RE: Importing Inventor assemblies into SW2009

What version of SW are you running? I hear there's a fix in SW2009 new released service pack.
