AutoCAD Inventor :: Rename Content Center Files?
Jul 12, 2013
I want to rename all bolts, nuts in all my families in Content Center. Is there an easy way to do this without messing up content center and assemblies?
Before we started using Vault we had to define the filename and include the description in the filename to be able to find and resuse the part. The filename was combined with article no and description. We would now the filename to be only the article no.
Example:
100056 - Bolt hexagon head M5x16 A4 DIN933.ipt
should have filename:
100056.ipt

Why can't Autodesk be more consistent? I'm trying to use Part Number in my Description Field in Family Table.
I.e.. Hex head bolt : DIN 931-1 - M6 x 60
Countersunk bolt : M4 x 20 DIN 7991
Why the switch???

I'd like to have all content center files i insert for a project saved in the project folder, or at the same place all my ipt iam files are located, or simply in a folder within the project folder. And NOT in the default content_centerR2012en-US that the software use.

I am using Inventor 2010, and just gone through the install program to add in content center files. It installed 11 IDCL files and 1 IDZ file. I copied all these files to "C:Documents and Settingsdshupin1My DocumentsinventorContent Center FilesR2010". Now, when I try to open something from my content center, I get a "Failed to open document" error, then another error that the file is not valid for placement.

Recently we added i Mates to some library-parts. Also replaced some Content Center models by models with iMates. When we place these Content Center parts, the only way to activate the iMates is to right click
When creating a new iPart with iMates and publish this to Content Center everything is working well. Our server and workstations are up-to-date, so I think this is a "bug". Maybe Autodesk fixes in the next update.

I am working on a PLTW image that includes Inventor. We had an issue with our original image and had to rebuild it. Now we are running into an issue with setting the Default Content Center Files path. In our profile (DefProf) we use to create the Default profile the path is set to
"%USERPROFILE%DocumentsInventorContent Center FilesR2013".
However, when we use this to create the Default Windows Profile and log in as a user (Test01) the path changes to
"C:UsersDefProfDocumentsInventoryContent Center FilesR2013".
We did not have this problem on the other image.

I'm trying to automate my drawing creation but i've run into a problem. In my code it takes the document collection object and iterates through and creates a drawing for each part and assembly the problem is i need it to skip the files from my library and content center since they dont require drawings. Here is the
Public Sub CreateDrawing()
'get documents collection object
Dim invDocs As Documents
Set invDocs = ThisApplication.Documents
'iterate through documents in collection
[code]........

I am trying to share an assembly with some design accelerators and content center files and it seems to be not possible. I changed the directory of the application>file>content center to the same location on both PC but it is still not working.

I’m looking to do a drawing of a content center file that has a table associated with it. I’m looking to do a table much like the general table option that pulls in parameters of a std. part. I understand that content center files have no intelligence to thread data but If there is no easy way of doing that I may need to pull in an excel sheet that has the data I need.
Ultimately I would like a table that has the part #, “Dim A”, “Dim B”, etc. that links to text dimensions on the content center part view in the drawing.
The reason I want it to be a content center file is that I have a couple hundred parts that only differ by one or two dimensions and don't want to have to go through that many drawings to update and make changes to.
I am using Inventor 2012 Pro

I would like to know, whether is there is any ilogic option by which the Custom content center is triggered automatically to insert component in an assembly.

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 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.

I have been working on creating custom content center families that will populate our company's part numbers and descriptions into the browser and drawing BOM. I have been quite successful in this except with the material. I've created custom materials for the fasteners that have the specified strengths and finishes per the fastener. By doing this I've created a different problem.
How can I create a custom property that will insert a specified value for material into the BOM? I've tried to change the link for Project.Material and then the part inserts as Inventor's default. I don't think creating individual material styles for each fastener is a viable one since I'll end up with duplicate style names.

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'm trying to create a custom Content Center bolt that can be one of three different materials (6.8, 8.8, 10.9). The materials are stored in our Styles Library, and the project specifies "Use Styles Library = Yes"; so the three materials are visible from the Content Center Editor. The Material column in the Content Center Editor is defined to "Map To Inventor Property: Project.Material". Everything looks fine. But no matter what material I select, I get 6.8.
I've already got LOTS of parts published with custom materials and they all work fine, but the big difference is that these families are all the SAME material. I'm having problems with getting a family to use DIFFERENT materials. We're using Inventor 2009.

I'm looking for a 2" x 1" x 3/16" bar channel in the Content Center but I cannot find anything smaller than 3" x 1.41" x 0.17". I've been looking under Structural Shapes > Channels. Am I missing content from the Content Center? Or does this just not exist in the Content Center?

I'm very new to Autodesk Inventor 2013.I'm working on a small project on my laptop at school. Recently I tried to work on this project at home. So I put everything on a Memory Stick, plugged it in at home and opened the file as usual. The problem is that the file needs references to the content center parts like screws etc. and can't find them. I was looking through my whole computer for this content center files Inventor is asking me, but I can't find them.
If I open a new project and open the content center it works without problems. The problem is just that I can't tell Inventor where the parts are to which it needs to be referenced.
