I don't use content center parts very often but on one particular file I have some screws that are coming up unresolved each time I open the file. How would I resolve this?

After renaming several derived parts, 1 of the parts won't re-insert/link itself into the .ipt model. I receive the error message as shown. (please note: actual file names and locations aren't shown)
D:ConceptPart5.ipt has a reference to D:HardwareUSB-B.ipt. It has been resolved to D:HardwareUSB-1020.ipt which is not the same file as originally referenced. The resolved document is not usable!
The original file name was titled USB-B.ipt while the renamed file is USB-1020.ipt.
I got a support contact a customer due to delay in opening some certain designs. The client works with a single project file to all your machines projects, being:
- 1 path in WorkSpace - 1 path in WorkGroup - 1 path in Content Center
After some testing I noticed that the drawings that had some missing file and fix the broken link needed had the problem of delay in opening. (9min for appears the resolve link screen) (simple drawing with 1view of the model inserted)
So I did a simple test.
Define a new project, the existing Default.ipj. And open the same file. To our surprise, the screen Resolve Link quickly appeared (30sec), quite different from the other project used.
My opinion of this delay, the current project, contains over 1million files easily. And as in the case of an Inventor file lost link searches for the file in the paths defined in the project, eventually causes loss of time behind files.
Before course, I also performed the same test on file with the option "Defer Update" and even then there was a delay(7min) in opening the file.
This visibly clear that, when using a project with a workspace without files, and open a file Inventor does not do research, trying to find substitutes for the file.
My question is:
The Defer Update should not simply ignore the model file and do not make the search, just opening the file? And also Is there any way to set a file IPJ, with any paths in Work Groups, and Inventor, not to make a search for the file in other locations, just as it existed previously, and display the screen Resolve Link?
I have created parts made up of a smaller parts themselves, them multiple assemblies of different parts that are all used in a final asembly. Now I need to give this whole assembly to someone. I tried sending all the files together with the assembly. However, when the receiver tried to open the assembly, most of the file references could not be resolved and inventor asked for the path of each, which would take too long to do. Is there any way around this?
I am working on Inventor 12, previously Inventor 10 and recently (approx 4 months ago while I was still on Inventor 10), all of a sudden, if I tried to open a drawing where components had been deleted for example, it would not try and resolve the links, just straight crash the program.

Someone sent me a zip drive with links to fonts used in the original document being worked on, how do I link the font from the files saved on the zipdrive?
Dealing with an old topo. Building a surface from a point group of points in the drawing, and 2D polyline being used as proximity breaklines.
Here is my list of events after I rebuild the surface:
So I went to use the 'Resolve Crossing breaklines' tool, and here's what that looked like:
So are there or aren't there?
When I use the 'Zoom to' feature, it takes me to the midpoint of a TIN line on a breakline, with no other objects around. Crossing window selection: only the surface and one polyline. I found one crossing breakline just by accident, not from either of these tools. After I fixed it it didn't change anything. I even deleted all the breaklines from the surface and added them again, closed drawing and reopened, no change.
I'm messing around with tables and data links, practicing. I copied a range of cells in Excel, and did paste special to create a linked table.
Now I can delete the table object, but I cannot delete the link, cannot detach it.
When in Data Manager if I right click on the data link and click delete I get the error message "The data link is being used and cannot be deleted".
I have tried detaching, and the detach does not seem to take.
Now also, the table will not update from the source xls.
Win XP, AcadLT 2011, Office 2010. Using compatible setting for saving spreadsheet, for Office 2007 (not xlsx).
If I create a linked table by starting with the Table icon, choose "from a data link", choose the excel spreadsheet, etc., then I am able to later update the table from the spreadsheet, detach, delete the link, etc. But I can only delete the link if the table is not selected when I open the Data Link Manager.
But the one that was created following the directions from the Autocad video, with the copy, paste special, that link will not detach nor delete.
I understand how to link a 3D.dwg with a 2D.dwg, but what I'm having trouble with now is linking the data,
is there anyway to create a table and link data directly from the .ipt to the .dwg that would update when I edited or revised the .ipt. I know that you can do this by exporting the parameters in an excel file then importing them to the .dwg but once I do that there isn't anyway to auto update the data....
Is it possible to create a associative text in a sketched symbol that is linked to a BOM row? I want to display the object number of BOM row in a sketched symbol in a drawing. Sorting and renumbering BOM should be recognized and the number should be updated.
The ESKD-AddIn seems to be able to do so in technical requirements, but how is this done?
I have a situation where I have my master BOM that is shown on sheet 1 of my drawing that represents everything shown on the drawing. What I am running into is I have to detail a couple of sub-assemblies as details on the drawing.
What I do is bring in views from that sub assembly seperate from the main assembly, but the problem is those items dont show up in the main BOM. I end up having to drag in a second BOM that I place off of the drawing sheet as well as adding line items in the main BOM to represent these components in the sub assembly. Then manually change the items numbers in the second BOM to match the iotem numbers in the main BOM. What I would like to know is if it is at all possible to link the two BOM's together so I can change the item numbers in the main BOM and it funnels down to the second BOM.
I upgraded from CS5 to CS6 when it was released. A couple of weeks ago I uninstalled both CS5 and an old version of Photoshop Elements v7 that had been on my machine.
Even though I use CS6 I just noticed that when I look for or open a PSD file from CS6 that my PSD files are defined in the "Type" column as follows "PhotoshopElements.PSDFile.7"
I no longer have Elements 7 on my machine and I'm concerned that there might be an artifact from that old app that is being used by CS6 instead of current versions of PSD.
How to confirm I am using only current CS6 PSD converions?
I'm trying to create an all new existing surface over existing ground. I have a TIN surface of the EG, and I have drawn overlay splines that describe the new surface, but how to go about creating that design surface.
It is a compound surface, open on one end and closed all around on the other, somewhat like a half of a football stadium, but with an irregular upper edge because I am needing to figure out cuts and fills to manipulate the EG into this new surface without costly major terraforming. There is about 40-50' vertical elevation between the "field" and the upper rim with a generally constant 7-10 deg. slope all around. I'm just at a loss to figure out how to approach this project, and am quite new to Civil 3D.

how the file structure works and how to link parts (ipt) and assemblies (iam) to each other. I converted a large file from Mechanical desktop to inventor which was a two day process. All parts and assemblies for the main assembly were dumped into one directory. I would like to move all the part files to one location and the assembly files (sub assemblies) to another location and then tell inventor to go there and pick the items from those two locations. I have set up the project telling inventor where to go and look. I moved all the items out of the original directory and now when I open the main model assembly I have to resolve the link to each part individually. This will take forever, is there a way to have inventor go and look for the parts and assemblies without me having to resolve each one?
I have used ipart to create multiple members in casting & machining.but, i have face problem how to link members in that file. For example i will open 4 member in machining it will automatically refer 4 member in casting. How to link these fille.
I am using content center for fasteners I want for my assembly.However, when I close the assembly drawing and try to reopen it, the link has been lost between the assembly and the fasteners and I am unable to find them.
I have created a project file before I start the assignment thinking this will solve the linkage problem but no luck.
I know that to design for example a 3d curve i have to import a XYZ data points from excel. What if i wanna link these points from excel to Inventors curve? Everytime i change the excel file i want my curve to be updated.
Say we needed a similar assembly under the same file with a few modifications, like a guardrail for instance. All I have ever had to do was copy the folder with the assembly and parts in it and rename the folder and assembly to change the link to another folder. Opening the assembly quickly prompts me for a part or two in the new folder then I am good to go. A coworker of mine who runs the same computer and version of Inventor never gets that request. When the assembly is opened in the new folder it automatically links it back to the previous file regardless of changing the folder etc.

I have several assemblies where I've linked parameters between sketches. I need to copy some of these files for re-use in other un-related assemblies. What is the best way to break the link between the files? They are going to be used in the same project.
When working inside an ipt, I want to open the idw from the browser using the right-click > "open drawing" option. The link is broken, however; so the idw must be searched for manually and opened. How can I repair the link so I can open the idw from the ipt browser in the future?
I am trying to use an iLogic Excel link to define the hub and bushing dimensions for a wing pulley part file. I get an error: GoExcel: Could not match the column title: "Size". I've attached the part file and Excel file. The iLogic rule in the part file is called Hub_Bushing.
