You might want to consider exporting your file in some other format, like IGS, DXF, or SAT, which would open up additional options for a program that would generate G code from your model. If I
remember correctly, Inventor creates a parametric model and if you export it in some other format you will lose that property in your exported file, but you can still change you original model and
export it again if you need to.
