AutoCAD Inventor :: Recognize Custom Content Center Part
May 2, 2013
I am looking for a way to recognize a custom content Center part inside Inventor. The way I see it, I would like to fill a custom property with a value so I can set a seperate category inside Vault Pro for a custom Content Center part.
What I found is the following:
CustomContentCenter variabele: ContentCenter{844FDDD7-2E90-4E4C-8868-134CEAEDC078}
IsCustomPart 1
Is there any way that I can get this information inside an Custom Property?

When using Inventor with Vault, we have a problem when categorizing custom content center parts in Vault. In short, custom content center parts are incorrectly categorized as "Content Center" and automatically released - as there is no property that we can use to identify these files.
I need iLogic code to trigger when custom content center files are created/saved, wich adds the following custom iproperty "IsCustomContentCenter=True".

A coworker of mine has made a bunch of custom extrusions, turned them into iParts, and published them to the Content Center. The parts are driven in length by the key parameter "Length". Unfortunately, he forgot to mark that "Length" parameter as export in the parameter dialogue before publishing. Is there ANY way to get that "Length" parameter to be exported so the Parts List can pull the cut length?

I've run into an issue with the Content Center customization. I easily understand how to manipulate the table to create parts with our part numbers, different material spec, & other predetermined aspects of the included templates that were included with the Inventor 2012 update. The issue I'm running into is that we would like to add or modify the original part the table is referring to.
In my example pics there is a bushing that I would like to control the hex nut size on. In the model it was created with a tangent constraint within the sketch instead of a linear dimension from the two flat surfaces. I would like to change that, but keep getting error messages stating:

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.

When inserting a content center part for which we have to choose a material, we would like to have a custom material as a default (material with name: "No material selected"). So when selecting no material for this part (for example when the user forgets to select a specific material), the default material (in this case material "No material selected") will be active. In this way, we can see in one view across the BOM which parts have no material assigned yet.
How can this be achieved in the content center (editor)?

I've never set up a custom content center before and I've done some research on the forums but I could really find the information I was looking for. My goal is to change the stock number and description to our company standard. Right now I edit it with the bom editor which is a bit time consuming. Another goal i would like would be that the part number is always the file name.

The time has finally arrived; the current content center profiles no longer suit my needs (for this specific project) and I now must create an extrusion that consists of holes. This profile is to be used in the Frame Generator and Frame analysis so it is imperative that I get the holes into the custom extrusion (see attached picture for the extrusion I require - it is a column extrusion for Pallet Racks. I have never entered the realm of custom content center extrusions. I need to do as far as what values I will require for the Analysis part (Inertias, Areas, etc...) and what proces I will take in order to first set up my extrusion to use? As mentioned, the holes in the extrusion are vital as they occue frequently (every 3 inches) and will affect the results in my analysis. I am currently in the process of reading up on Custom Content Center Publishing. Using Inventor 2014 Professional.

I just created some new content center libraries for different grade bolts. I set up the part number and file number to read how I would like. When I add a bolt from my library the part name is not what I would like. It seems to be the Family Name followed by the Size Designation. Is there anyway I can get this to be the File Name that I modified in the Family Table?

When I place a part, such as a bolt, from the Content Center, it's immediately looking for the other half of an insert iMate. How do I make a part I created do that? I put an iMate in the part, but it had no effect.
It sure would save a bunch of time if this would work.

I have a part published in my content center that was not authored with Tube & Pipe connections. I was wondering if there was a way to edit that part and re-publish it, or would I have to delete it from my Content Center.

I needed to make changes to an existing part that I had published into the CC a few days ago.
what I did was make the changes to the part that is on my local. Then selected the part in CC and RC'd on it and selected "Delete Family". I thought it was gone, but when I go to reinsert it into an assembly, I get this message.
This tells me it is located somewhere else in the CC under a different family. How do I find this other family and then remove it so I can get the updated version in the CC.

The new release has me baffled. Some of the b16.9 fittings are the wrong color. Is there a way to change them back to the old color?
The reducer and straight tee are oddly still the correct color, but the others are a lighter shade of gray.
When I click on a light gray fitting, the material and appearance say "Steel, Wrought; Steel". When I select the old darker color, it says "Wrought Steel; Metal-Steel."
I'd like to change this at the CC level instead of manually changing them in every assembly and design representation.

We use different types of Stainless Steel fasteners. For example 18-8, 304, 316, etc. When I use the "Material Guide" in the Content Center Editor it only has the Autodesk default materials listed. How do I add CUSTOM materials to this list to create new families with my custom materials?

I am using a student version of Inventor 2012 to design the FSAE Chassis for our University team this year. I was not able to find suitable geometry for the required tubing to make the chassis. So I found a guide on setting up a Custom Content Center and publishing parts. I have followed that. The Chassis has turned out great but now I am trying to draw it up and the BOM is not populating as desired.
A Summary:
-Custom Project file with Read / Write Library added.
-Custom tubing geometry created and published to the Library.
-Chassis constructed using standard Frame Generator techniques.
Previously I had the chassis modelled using standard Content Center parts and the BOM would populate with the individual tubes in the drawing environment. Now with the custom tubes the BOM calls up each of the individual tubing sizes, ONCE only and has large quantities. The automatic "Measure" Column is also populated with "*Varies*".
In the Frame Generator wizard each tubing size has come up as it's own "Family".I believe this is because I have published the different part sizes individually. I am guessing I should have published only the one active part but with variable geometry selectable in the "Size" drop down?
I have tried forcing the assembly into the "All Levels" view with the Bill of Materials pop-up in the Assembly environment, but even this is not populating correctly.Something else I have noticed is the individual tubes are using a different naming convention in the model tree.

I copied an existing family into my new read library. I added some rows to be able to generate a few variations that were not contained in the original family. I just copied existing row up several times and edited the information in those rows to yield desired new variations. I made sure the file name column contained a unique file name for these new members. When I go to publish I get this error message:
Defined file name does not include all custom columns. An identical file name can be generated for different members. Make sure that the file name is unique for any combination of custom column values to avoid placement failure
Missing Custom Columns:
Length
(see also attached screen shot)
I have scoured the file name column and can find no repeated file names; I cannot understand the rest of the error message. It must have something to do with the "does not include all custom values" portion of the error message.

We have invested much time in creating custom content center family tables based on exisiting ANSI tables, etc. so that we can suppress sizes and shapes we do not use and have the descriptions and stock numbers show up both so BOM and parts lists will roll up identical parts and as our purchasing department requires.
We have just discovered, however belatedly, that while these custom tables function just fine when placing an individual part, frame generator apparently does not see these and gets it's info from somewhere else. I have seen a similar post which references an McadForums post, but the link provided is dead.

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've been tasked to turn our 2D cad dwgs to 3D in inventor.
I'm working on a frame at the moment, I got all the square and rectangular tube from the CC and constrained them to match the CAD dwg, now I need to add the mounting holes but if I add holes to one copy all the copies get the holes.
What option can I use to make each instance stand alone?

I'm trying to use "Replace Family Template" to overwrite an iPart family in Content Center.I've made changes to the iProperties of the iPart and I want those new changes to be in Content Center.
When I RMB on the iPart in Content Center and click "Replace Family Template", I get the "Import Part Invalid" message.Should I be able to do what I'm trying to do?

I'm using Inventor 2014 with Service Pack 1 with Desktop Content Center enabled on a single machine. I've also installed Vault Basic 2014 on the same machine. Operating System is Windows 7 Professional.
I've edited my non-vaulted and vaulted project files to create a Custom Content Center Library called Zzyzx. I've started a new Assembly and entered the Content Center Editor to add files to the Zzyzx library. I've copied the Inventor ANSI fasteners section into the Zzyzx library, using the Copy To method with links enabled. So far, so good.
After copying the entire Inventor ANSI fasteners to the Zzyzx library, I created a new column called DESCRIPTION within the Heavy Hex Head Bolt - Inch series folder. Using and expression, I've modified the string values of the just created DESCRIPTION column. I've elected to map DESCRIPTION to the Project.Description iProperty. I use the OK button and each row in the new column gets populated. Update Lightning Bolts are displayed at the far left of the dialog box.
I then use either the Apply or OK button and then Inventor displays a Publish Error message box that states: Non-unique filename(s) found in members. I've checked the file names and I see nothing that's repeating. I've tried using a new file name, but that doesn't solve the issue.What steps must I take in order to successfully edit my Custom Content Library called Zzyzx?

I am trying to replace an unresolved standard part with a component from a custom content center in a stand-alone installation. I get this error message:
"There was a problem encountered while communicating with the server. Please check the network connection and server status."
I can place the same component from the content center. The content center component family was created as "save to" from an ANSI standard.

I'm making a customized content center library for my company and I'm trying to add a special type of nut but I'm not having any luck. I finally figured out how to author a part and have it show up in the bolted connection tool. Now I'm just getting an error as soon as I select my custom nut.
The error is "Cannot initialize part data table. Please verify the table definition in Content Center editor."
I've attached my part. It's a simple nut for use in aluminum extrusion, the only thing that changes between sizes is the threaded hole.

I have created a new colum in family table editor for a custom part in content center. After that i created an assembly using the same custom part from contentr center. Then i prepared the drawing for that i mean *.idw. In the drawing file i have to attach a part list. and i need to add the the new colum generated in family table to part list.Do we have any option available to add the specified column in part list ?

For some reason when I start either the bolted connection generator or the shaft generator, the content center parts don't show up if I select "modify" to change the parts. For example: I wanted to create an axle with a retaining-ring-groove. I created the axle, and under Features I selected Retaining Ring.
Then a dialog shows up with some standard dimensions, and on the right under "Position" it says "ASME B 27.7M". When I click here, an empty dialogbox shows with filter "All" activated.
It should show all retaining rings available in the content center. The strange thing however is that when I exit this function and start the ordinary "Place from Content Center" command, I can see all retaining rings that are available (see pictures).
The same thing occurs when using the bolted connection generator.
