AutoCAD Inventor :: Changing Location Of Design Data / Templates And Content Centre

Mar 15, 2012

I have 45 PCs running Autodesk Inventor 2011 in a student PC lab.  We have since set up Vault Server and I need to change the location that these point at.The files that I need to edit can be got to by:

1.    Open Autodesk Inventor
2.    Click “Pro”
3.    Click “Options”
4.    Click the “File” tab
5.    I need to edit the following: Default templates, Design Data (Styles, etc) and Default Content Centre files.  
6.    The above three will be pointed to a server that has vault setup on it (\vault emplates, etc).

Now to clarify, Inventor works, I do not need assistance activating it, and I do not need assistance with group policy to set up the install..I need to be able to modify the above with group policy through either the registry (if possible) or some other method.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Content Centre Isn't Logged In

Oct 18, 2011

All options relating to the content centre seem to have disappeared. When i try and add a structural shape via manage tab / author - I get the following message Structural Shape Library cannot be found or Content Centre isnt logged in, please check it and try again. i have checked the active project and it includes the content centre location. Also in an Assembly I do not have the option of placing from content centre.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Content Centre Files

Jul 5, 2012

We have just updated to Inventor 2013 (from 12) and none of our models which contain BSi libraries are working. I understand BSi is within 'Other' CC library.

I have tried copying the idcl files from 2012 CC libraries into  into 2013 but Inventor 2013 is not recognizing them. Within the 'update libraries' dialogue box the are listed in red and 'not available'

I've been floundering around for a few days now trying various fixes from the net without success.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Can't Access Content Centre

Nov 21, 2013

For a while now whenever I open a new assembly the default is place from content centre, I use the drop-down and select place.

Today I needed place from content centre and it just doesn't come up.

It is loaded/automatic in the addins.

If I open my projects, in the bottom right corner where I would usually click to acess my installed libraries, I click but it does nothing!

I also noticed studio and BIM are greyed out, but I have started to play with Showcase so not really a problem. I need to set up a read/write library soon, so it's going to be a problem.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Export Content Centre Favourites

Aug 13, 2013

Is it possible to export content centre favourites?

I have a number of parts marked as favourites from our custom CC library. I have created folders and sub folders for the various items, nuts, bolts, washer, steel sections and piping parts and would ideally like to be able to export the setup in much the same way as exporting the 'Application Options' out to a XML file. This can then be imported into other machines creating a list of favourites for all users.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Change Content Centre Bolt Description?

Dec 12, 2012

I want to change the description of a bolt to be "M(bolt size) bolt. then add the length in another column. example M10 bolt.

I want to know if it is possible to do this using the Family Properties & changing the "Family Description" to something like M=<NND> BOLT. i have tried but had no luck as it only comes back with "M Bolt" & no diameter 

Any other way to make it populate a BOM easily.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Create A Flat Bar Family In Content Centre

AutoCAD Inventor :: Custom Content Centre Library Appears Empty?

Jul 25, 2010

I typically use basic ISO fastners in conjunction with the bolted connection generator. Just now I have discovered the ability to add a custom library to the content centre. This appears fantastic as I no longer have to sift through the 10 - 30 or so items available in each category to complete my bolted connection.

However I am experiencing a delima

I have created a custom library called "My Favourites" and it contains 6 bolt families, 1 spring & flat washer family and 1 nut family. All families are derived from the ISO standard (bar the spring washer which is DIN 128) and all thread pitches for the respective nut and bolt connection(s) match.

The problem I am experiencing is when I execute the bolted connection command I can add the bolt, 2 flats and 1 spring washer yet when I come to close the connection with a nut the nut selection box is empty?

I have the active project configured with "My Favourites" "Inventor Feature" & "Inventor Routed Systems" as the only in use libraries. Secondly, I have verified the existance of the nut(s) in "My Favourites" in the Content Centre Editor.

I am using Inventor 2010 updated to SP3 on a standalone machine, running Windows 7 Ultimate (w/ latest updates)

AutoCAD Inventor :: Content Centre Prompted Filename And Part Number

Nov 8, 2011

Create a Content Center Part that prompts for a file name and sets the Part Number to whatever I save the part as? It would also be nice to... Have the browser Display name the same as the saved filename.

If I have a standard part with a blank filename, inventor will make the part number equal the filename at the first save. It is this functionality that I require when using Custom Content parts.

E.G. If I have a length of 'RHS 200x100x6.3 - 2000mm' selected from content centre and I want the filename to be saved as 'Part-001', then I would like the Part Number to be set as 'Part-001'.

If I then place the same member in another project/assembly I may want to call it 'ProjectPart-100', where the part number would then be 'ProjectPart-100' and so on.

This method ignores the filename entry in the Ipart table.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Custom Content Centre Shapes And Frame Generator?

Oct 16, 2012

I have been trying to add my own shapes to the Content Centre, with some success, but for being able to use them in Frame Generator. I was able to Author a new part and publish it to Structural Shapes and it works very well. However when I try to use it in Frame Generator there is an issue that I do not understand. Frame Generator recognises the family and all of the different sizes and materials, but when it come to inserting the part, i get the following message:

I am not sure what this means. The part family is in my own library in a seperate category. I don't know what/where template file needs to be and is that the same ipt file that I used to create the Content Centre part/shape? Do I need to create a new Standard rather than "attaching" it to the AS Standard?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Default Location For Templates In 2013

Apr 21, 2012

I'm having problem changing the default location for templates in Application Options of Inventor 2013. If I set the location to a folder in my server, the template files aren't showing up. It's like there's nothing there. I've never found this problem before. The templates are shared on the network, so it's the same for everybody. Now it's necessary to everyone copy them locally, which is not the best practice in my opinion.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Unwanted Data In Design Data Folder

Oct 12, 2011

I know that the xmls are very important in the design data folder and we shouldn't mess with them.What about the rest of the folders. I have around 11 folders. GOST, AEC Exchange, AIT, Cable & Harness, Bend Tables, DWG-DXF etc...

I need to know if any of these folders can be deleted? We don't use AEC Exchange, Cable Harness, BIm Exchange, Design Accelerator, Tube & Pipe.

What about the Optimisation, DXF-DWG.  I am not sure if I am using them unknowingly.Does this could be deleted? Is there a procedure to get rid of them.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Content Center File Location?

Dec 22, 2011

When our tech was here to install Vault for us I had several pressing tasks going on and did not learn how to find and alter our content center files. I now have a little time over the Christmas break to work on this. Where do I look in the settings to see where the content center is located? I plan to copy the files to my machine as I will not have access to the server over the break and I will need to know where to reset the file search at. Is this done through the project folders? If so how do I accsee read/write? I do have admin rights and we are using 2012.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Content Center Save Location

Jul 11, 2013

We have about 25 users on Inventor working via a common network on multiple projects, we do not have vault. 

In using the content center, I see one has to specify the location of instanced content center parts under options>file>>Default Content Center files. Is there no other way to get the instanced content center parts to save under the specific project file location without changing it manually each time via options>file>>etc. Is there a setting under projects?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Vault - Content Center Save Location?

Oct 29, 2011

I would like to have our newly created Content Center parts end up in a vault folder location unique to them. This will manage our conversion from the standard parts to our custom parts. Unfortunately, Inventor automatically saves these to the en-US folder. How can I set parts to automatically save to the Content Center/Roberts Standard Parts location as shown (attached) when they are inserted in an assembly.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Content Center / Design Accelerator Doctor - ERROR

Sep 28, 2006

Everytime I try to place a #8 machine screw type II screw from the content center I get a Design Accelerator Doctor error saying: "Modeling: Failed to insert a part into assembly!".

But if I place a Type I machine screw it works fine. Also if I replace the Type I screw with the Type II (the one I have a problem with) it replaces it no problem. So basically if I want to place a #8 Type II screw I have to place a Type I and then replace it with the Type II..
