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.

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.

I work for a company that does not use Vault. Yet. We have 8 Inventor Users which I will categorize as beginner to novice. My question is: is there a way to insert a bolted assembly from the CC and have it save those pieces to the individual project file. All of our project files are set up as single users so when you insert a bolt on one computer it won't show up on another users station. I could've sworn there was an option to do this, but can't locate it. We do not have the CC on our server and I am currently working on getting IT to do that, but these things can take some time.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have authored a meter as an iPart before placing into Content Centre - it will be authored to be used in tube and pipe.
Some variants have Rc (ISO Taper Threads) ranging from ¼-2", and some have G (ISO Pipe Threads). The only way I could get it to change between the different thread types was to model threaded hole features, and change the thread spec in the iPart table. {I have included the part so you can see what I've done}
It works fine as an iPart, but after having placed it into content centre the following errors occur with the generated Parts: the threads fail, the holes do not compute (resulting in the failure of the authored Tube and Pipe work points and axes), also the bmp decal doesn't rotate properly.
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.
I had Autodesk Inventor 2011 installed for a while, and then installed some other programs (3DS, Maya and Showcase). This caused all of my add-ins to disappear from Inventor. I managed to get them back, but now when I click the 'Insert Frame' button, I get the followin gerror: [WARNING] Problems encountered while executing frame insert command. [ERROR] Failed to read data from Content Center. [ERROR] Content Center server query failed. check your Content Center configuration to make sure all required libraries are present or check Content Center connectivity to server. I've reinstalled Inventor and reinstalled the content center libraries and the error message is still there. The content center configuration in Application Options seems fine.

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..
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.
When opening one custom Content Center iPart from Inventor I get an Styles Conflict error for some Lights, Materials and Sheet Metal rules.
The Library is created in Inventor 2010 and migrated to 2012. All templates an Design Data are migrated as well. How are these styles are updated in a certain Part?

I recently did a pack and go on a top level assembly. Kept folder hierarchy. Included linked files. Included referenced files. All OK so far.
Then opened the assembly in the “Pack and go” folder I created to put it, and it cannot find all the content center parts, such as the ASME eccentric reducer and M24 bolt – see attached i.e. I had to resolve the links. I know they came over with the pack and go as they are in the “Libraries” folder.

I have created custom pipe fitting categories in my server based content center. I copied the standard familes over to a custom library and modified them. After updating the family tables, and hitting refresh in an assembly, the updates fail.
This is the error I get:
Failed: Standard is owned by Tube&Pipe. The part must be refreshed by Tube&Pipe application.
These parts were placed via "Place from content center" as I do not have the tube & pipe addin (2011 suite, not pro)
How do I get these compnonents to update / refresh??
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.

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

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am starting to use Autodesk 360 a little now. Mainly with new Inventor 2014 projects.If I have a project file setup on 360 that I can access from work and from home. Home does content center parts work?
So if I insert a content center part in assembly while working at home will work pc load up the same part when I open assembly at work?Must I have content center mapped to 360 drive or?
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.
View 6 Replies View RelatedRecently 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 would like every new project created to have "Content Center Files" path set to %project%/Content Center
Wher can I set default paths for content center files and design data for new projects?
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’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
Can I change the description that appears in the properties from content center files ? I want that appear Pa Allen or something like it, but the description is "Hexagon Socket Button Head Screw - Product grade A" from Content Center.
