How can I measure the dimensions for a given object in Autodesk Inventor?

i've downloaded many projects ,, but i can measure the dimensions for any object because the file is on Standard(DIN).iam format so is there any possible way to change it to Standard(DIN).ipt format ?

Hi matrex90,
Standard (DIN) .iam is a Assembly where all parts ie xxxxx.ipt come together, if you open a part from the Assembly this will open as a Standard(DIN).ipt.
In the Assembly view you can add a customize user panel with the all measuring tools you need.

hope this helps

Another quick fix is pressing "M" to pull up the measure tool, measures anything on your screen. Very useful for quick measurements.
