AutoCAD Inventor :: Change Base Quantity In Family Template In Content Center
Feb 8, 2013
I need to change the Base Quantity of family templates in CC from GL = ... to Each. (I know there are several different qty, but I need this to Each because of ERP-system).
I use open from CC and place a tube in an iam, and changing BOM-settings to Each on that tube. Then I replace template in the family in CC editor with this file. And everything seems OK.
When I use "Place from CC" and place a tube from this family, everything is in perfect order. The ipt has Base Quantity set to Each just like I wanted.
I use Frame Generator and insert tubes from this family, then the Base Quantity "bounce" back from Each of GL = ...
I need this to work also in Frame Generator.

How can I have a component from the content library have its 'BASE QUANTITY' default to 'EACH' when I bring it into my assembly? Each time I have to reset this to 'EACH' when inserted into my assembly.
This happens in either frame generator or just placing from content center.

Is there a way to control what the Base Quantity is in Document Settings using iLogic. I want to be able to use a form to change it to a parameter I have created.

I have edited a family with the CC and created a new family in my library. I am happy with the FILENAME & MATERIAL & PART NUMBER. These are perfect in our Parts List.
However, the description in my Parts List is as per the Family Properties, Family Description (see attached).
We have: SOCKET CAP HEAD SCREW SS
we would like: SOCKET CAP HEAD SCREW M5x25 SS
I would have thought this would be achievable, as M5 & 25 are the "size designation" driven from the table.

After editing a value in the Family Table in the Content Center Editor I still get the old value. I tried to refresh this Content Center part (as administrator) but without succes.
In the logfile the error message is: "Failed: Unable to create part file. Unknown error."
Earlier (probably with older version of Inventor) I was able to refresh.
Is this a bug, or has this something to do with false settings

if I place from content centre > structural shapes > AS1163-1991 rectangle hollow sections - not all sections are there. For example I would like to use a 65x65x6 SHS section. The content centre only goes up to 65x65x3 SHS.

Initially the family was customized to add a few of our part numbers and suppress some members we weren't using.
There were some duplications in the table that were removed as well (This has been a known issue since 2009).
It has been working for several months without a problem.
Yesterday I needed some new sizes so I unsuppressed a few members and updated the part number and grade information .
Now when I try to place any instance from this family Inventor crashes.
I have found that the family will work if all members are unsuppressed. If only the customized members are left unsuppressed Inventor will crash on placement.
I ran some more tests by starting fresh and copying a read-only version from the ANSI library. I recreated the original library and it functions with the customizations untill I add a custom column (Grade) to use as a key.
How can a family go from functioning to not by only modifying a few fields?

We are using Tube and Pipe with custom valves, flanges etc published to and taken from Content Center. Quite frequently we have to mock up a vendor supplied valve until we get the final model from them (usually near the end of the project) the mocked up valves can change in design over the course of the project, which means submitting and re-submitting different versions of valve with a slightly different name each time.
To try and keep things tidy (and prevent confusion with other users) I've tried to delete existing families and replace again with the same name, but Inventor T&P/CC won't allow this, and usually get the error message about family name already existing.
How can I truly delete the family and have no trace left on CC/Vault/working folders etc? Is there a workflow I should be aware of for such a task?

I need to add a new member to the ANSI Rectangular tube family in the content center. The problem is I don't know what the Ix and Iy columns are. Both columns have a sub title of [inch^4]. What these variables represent? I inserted a part from the family in an assembly and checked the paramerers window and these aren't listed in the parameters.

We have copied a content centre family, for example
Fasteners->Pins->Clevis Pins->Clevis Pins With Head
Is it possible to change the copied families location, for example.
Fasteners->standard parts
Is it possible or can I only move it if I republish it, but I can't do that because I don't have the part.

Since i get around with the content center i am making our own custom frames and parts.
Now i have made a new category in the structural shapes category with all our own standards. Because we're using some of the standard DIN EN 10210-2 pipes i want to copy this library to our own category and remove some of the pipes we never use.
What i did is:
-save copy as the family.
-move to my own library view
- tried to drag and drop the copied part to our own library (not possible)
- tried to change the family properties (parameter mapping) "Structural Shapes->Round Tubes" (not possible)
Is there any way to change the category, move/copy it to the our own category and delete the old one, of this copied library part , so it is easy reachable in the frame generator or "place from content center"?

I have a part that was made from content center and modified further. I would like Inventor to no longer recognize this part as a content center part. It has been renamed and migrated to 2013 format, but still when inserting into an assembly the assembly recognizes it as a content center part in the browser.
Also, the browser title for the part will not update with the file name.

I'm looking for a way to change the size of a custom content center part via ilogic. I found a way to replace them on this forum but this is not ideal for, because that creates a new part every time i change the size of the part.

Somehow the Content Center Filter clears all content while in ISO or DIN. Both libraries are turned on in project.
I can see only one custom library when either filter engaged. I also see both ISO and DIN parts when filter is off.

I've got an error everytime I try to replace a Family template in my Content Center (I work with Inventor 2011).
I try with a simple part. Here's the steps:
1- Create a simple part (cube with Width, Height and Depth parameters)
2- Create an iPart with 12 members
3- Publish the part in the Content Center
4- Modify the part (add a column in table)
5- Save
6- Open Content Center Editor and click on Replace Family Template
Got the error: "Import Part is Invalid".
I tried "Save As" instead of "Save" and got the same result.

I used to use the BSI content fine in my old version of Inventor, but on this years version there appears to be no BSI content. I have tried reinstalling the content center and all of the options are selected but still no BSI?

We have an extensive library of parts that we consistently utilize, but we do use Content Center for hardware and routed systems components.
All of our library parts have our company ERP's item number in the stock number iProperty, and the ERP's description in the Comments iProperty.
For CC items, we have added columns for these and mapped them to the appropriate iProperty.
Everything works great except for one thing.
Many of our ERP descriptions inlude inch marks, foot marks, and the & symbol. For our normal library parts thhis is not an issue. However, CC items utilize these characters differently. The result is our descriptions come out different that what is entered.
See the example below...
How to include these characters in the CC descriptions?

At my company we currently have a huge number of Autocad deployments for 2010,2011,2012. Right now our deployments weren't setup to include the content centers. I have installed 2012 Inventor on my personal computer as a trial version to grab the .idcl files. I was wondering if I would be able to just drag and drop these onto a server and have my co-workers point to the file location within inventor itself via options>content center>etc.

Installed 2014 recently, and now my Content Center has nothing in it. The "Place from Content Center" window loads, and there are no folders. My item count is 0. I've attached a screen shot for reference. Clicking the refresh button does nothing.
We have no custum hardware/materials/etc.
If I try to update the content center library (step 2), the Configure Libraries is full of "Not Available"s. Again, I've attached a screen shot. I'm nervous to continue migrating with out all that info.
There are two pc's with IV, and the content center is working fine on the other pc. The CC is a local thing, and only my computer seems to be upset.

I just created an empty Fastenal Library, and it is set to Read/Write. We order most of our fasteners from them, but not much else, so I used "Copy Category Structure To" Fastenal. I created a plain washer to add to the library, but when I try to publish it, I can't get it to work.
When I "Publish Part," I select Fastenal and English, then am asked to select a category to publish to. The Washers folder is greyed out, along with most other folders, but the Ball sub folder is not. I can't select Plain, which is what I need, but I can select Ball.
Also, is there a way to delete sub folders? I right click on Pins or Rivets, and the option to Delete Category is greyed out.
