We've a customer using Inventor and Inventor Publisher. They ordered an iPad sales support App from us. Is there a programming library for iOS available with the same visualization component as the IPM Viewer App that we can integrate it in our App? If yes, how to get it? If no, how do I get into contact with the product management?

1. Is there a way to install only Showcase 2012 from install kit if on fist "session" I've unchecked it from customize-installation? How ?
2. Can I add new materials to library ? If so is there a website with samples to upgrade inventor material library with new ones?
Is it possible that i add extra standard to inventor? for example API 5L or else?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a user that has created a new material which is now sitting as a local style. We require this new material in the library so that everyone can use it. I tried RMB on it but the save to library functon is greyed out. This is due to the styles being read only in the project file. So I have tried to change the project file so we can add the style and then I'd change it back again, but, even though I have checked out the project file from vault, it won't allow me to edit it. What else can be locking the project file? Is there some other way I can place the new material into the style library in the project file? There are quite a few of us that use the project file since we use vault, so I'm not sure I should create a new one with the same name and save over it.
View 3 Replies View RelatedCould you tell me or give me a link to the procedure to migrate the materials library. I have a materials library that I created in 2012 and I would like to migrate it to 2013.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have been recently put in charge of all things Autodesk at my company. We have just installed 2014 software on our machines and I'm told that I need to migrate the styles library from 2013 to 2014. Here's the thing though, we have our Inventor templates and design data on a network drive for all to access.
I see where there is a style manager included in the Tools of Inventor but I open it up and I can't make heads or tails of it.
Can't save to Style Library
View 2 Replies View RelatedI back-up a 23 GB library to two external hard drives about once a week. I always wipe out the previous back up set and copy and paste fresh each time and let it run.
Ive also been thinking of adding an online backup (carbonite etc) as another failsafe.
How do automatic back-ups work in the realm of parametrically linked files such as Inventor. Im a little worried about that concept.
We have recently upgraded from Inventor 2011 Routed Systems to Inventor Pro 2012. We are using XP fully updated to the lastest SP and everything. We have everything configured to our preferences but there is one thing that has been driving me batty. When editing a solid part I open the Style and Standard Editor. Down near the bottom under Realistic Appearance where there should be a ball with a shiney swatch there is a yellow triangle mocking me saying Autodesk Material Library is not available, also none of the bump maps are showing up on new or migrated files whether this is a related issue I am not sure of. All of the normal and custom textures show up just fine, and all the bump textures are in their correct folder in the correct place. I have tried switching the design data folder around with no success.

The drop down box in the top right is greyed out so i cannot change this either.
It works fine on another PC just not mine.I have downloaded the material pack from the website also.
I have also changed the hardware settings. I have tried all 3 hardware settings and it makes no differance.
Running windows 7 x64, 8 gigs of ram 3.4 quad core, 128gig SSD.
Everything is up to date.When i installed the material library download the material library was working, but when i opened a file the material library went back to how it was above.
The files i am using are from models i made in inventor 2010, but there is no problem on another PC i use.
I was wondering if there is a way to import or add Nitinol alloy into my Inventor material list. I need to do stress simulations and Nitinol is not included...
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to save an attribute to an appearance then save it to a library? I would like to store some finish data that can be accessed later from the api. I can apply the attribute to all the necessary renderstlyes and use the SaveToGlobal() method. It seems to work great in the part the program is run from, but when I go to the next part and apply the same appearance it does not contain the new attribute. I have also tried creating a copy of the appearance in the document then save that to the library, but any appearances that I edit or create programmatically will not save to the library even if manually drag it within the appearance editor. My project show the material and appearance libraries set to read/write and if I create an appearance thought the editor I can move it to the library without any problems, it's only the items created/modified through the api that will not move. I am running Inventor 2013 SP2.

My question is: What can be done to limit access (Putting it at Read-only) to certain library for certain users without limiting my own access?
Also, I'm pretty sure its not possible but ill ask anyway, is it possible to know who modify those library and when?
I'm using Vault

We produce a piece of equipment with numerous parts and assemblies that we would like to use as a base model. We do not or will ever use vault so I'm trying to come up with a library/content center area where I can store the parts and assemblies that then can be inserted into new assemblies which would create a completely new design based on existing parts. My problem is lack of experience in setting up a good library/ content center area, I do not know what would be an acceptable plan of attack, right now I have moved the complete assembly onto the server in its own location but this is where I get stumped.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHow to set Autodesk Appearance Library as default using API
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am working in 2013 right now. My project loads two material libraries, and I am finding that if the Autodesk Material Library is selected in the dropdown, and I try to set the material to something in my Custom library, it fails. If I first select my custom library to make it the active one, then my code works fine.
So my question is, how do I set my custom library to be the active one, or better yet, so that it will look through both library's and pick the material from the library that has it.?
I am in the middle of an upgrade from 2009 to 2012 and have a styles use question. I am running three flavors of Inventor: Inventor, Inventor Professional, Inventor Factory (based on Pro). The styles library that I am starting with was migrated from 2009 to 2012 and was running both IV series and Pro Seats. Although no real Pro functionality was ever used so any associated styles were still as delivered for the most part. My working environment is a single Vault project setup where all the styles and libraries are local copies on each workstations drive. All the standard content (styles and libraries) stay checked out to myself on my machine for protection.
So here is what I did to make an all inclusive styles library that all flavors of products will use. pick this apart if you see something wrong with the method.
1) I started with the migrated styles library from 2009
2) As I installed the different flavors I copied the new styles libraries over the existing migrated one without allowing it to "overwrite" any existing styles files. This only populated the styles libraries with any thing I was missing from any of the flavors.
3) I use this combined library on all station regardless of the flavor installed. So some stations have styles on them that are not in use by the installed software.
Any good hydraulics fitting library? I have had some success with Parker, but it's still lacking models of lots of their stuff. I've been to the cbliss.com website, which has a lot, but specifically I'm looking for flareless fittings (high pressure hydraulics).
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have my own library, Inteco Material Library, created with a material 'perforatie'.
Now I have a flat part and made a sketch with another rectangle. I have used the Split tool so I create a separate area that I can select.
If I select that area and I go to my own library I can not select my own made material. I have the material in the Inventor Material Library installed but I can not select it.
Is there some reason my 2013 custom material library size is so big. I have a 16 different appearances and 35 different physical properties with a total of 71 separate materials and then file is nearly 3 megs. 99% of the appearances and physical props are Inventor standard.
The default Inventor Library with considerably more information is WAY smaller.
So what's going on, am i just building the library wrong?
I also have a different library that is over 21 megs, it contains a number of different materials that is comperable to the default Inventor one but again only 16 appearances and 35 phsical props. It's completly unusable.

Why can I not add it to the new custom library - from document materials?I tried to drag and drop - no success.

I've created a folder on our server that contains commonly used parts by several users. My thought was that by referencing this folder as library in their projects, they wouldn't be able to change the parts. I could also build assemblies referencing these common parts so they wouldn't have to be copied into each project folder...
During the save option in their assemblies, the parts show up as NO (in a library), but this can be bypassed by "YES TO ALL".Is this not the right process for setting up a custom part library?Also, the users are experiencing some lag issues... Could this be the reason?
