AutoCAD Inventor :: Unique File Naming From Library Or Content Center?

Jan 20, 2012

I'm having some problems giving certain parts in my assembly a unique file name. Im reorganizing all of my projects in a

- content center
- designs
- libraries

way, where my projects are under designs and commonly used parts under libraries.

Now i have something like a pump. I can derrive this assembly into a solid and put it in the content center, or keep the assembly and put it in the libaries folder. since this is a part i use in multiple projects.

Now my problem is that this pump has a different name in every project, and a library part doesn't allow me to change this name. Say standard name is "centrifugal pump" while the name in project 1 would be P101, while in project 2 it has to be named P501 and so on in order to match with the flowcharts.

Is my only option here creating a solid out of these components and putting it all in my content center ( leaving my libraries folder totally empty ), adding it as a custom part afterwards ( so i can rename it ). I rather have it in my library folder, since this will keep my design folder organized without hundreds of duplicates of this pump, using different names. Besides i rather have it as an assembly so i can assign the connecting tubes of the pump to different sub assemblies of piping.

Different example, a butterfly valve excists out of 3 parts. the valve itself, and 2 connecting tubes. possible to dissemble. all 3 parts need to have the same file naming say XV900. 1 side of the valve needs to be assigned to pipe-01 while the other side of the valve needs to be assigned to pipe-02. Content center doesn't allow me to split files, but allows me to use unique file names. A library party allows me to split files ( if not read only ) but doesn't allow me to change names.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Content Center Part Naming

Sep 6, 2012

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?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Content Center Library

Dec 11, 2013

if i have created a custom content center library,  where all content center parts use my material "Steel XYZ", is there a way to use it in old assemblies that use a no custom content center library?

I mean, i have 100 assemblies that use bolt with Steel Mild material... can i change that material changing the content center library and using mine that use "Steel XYZ"?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Editing A Content Center Library

Feb 15, 2012

I'm trying to fix up the iproperties of a content centre item. However the part has been used before and saved in Vault. I have edited the library and then when I tried to use a part from the library, the part is just pulled from Vault, hence not having the edits on it. I tried a part that hasn't been used before and it works ok. How can I force it to rebuild from the content center so I can save over the copy in Vault?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Installing Other Library In Content Center?

Jun 10, 2013

how I can install the 'Other' library content into the Content Centre?

I need the Australian Standards content but I was unaware that it didn't install automatically when I installed Inventor software, and from what I've read it's contained in the 'Other' library which I was also unaware you needed to install.

How can I solve the problem without uninstalling/ reinstalling? I'm using the downloaded Student version.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Content Center Library Not Updating

Apr 25, 2013

I created custom library by coping iso read only library. Then edited custom library family table and created extra columns (for custom iproperties) for company purpose BOM. This columns needs to be updated from time to time with new part numbers.

When I update part numbers and hit apply it tells me that published successfully to selected library. Then i go to iproperties of updated parts and this update is not showing up.

I am using inventor 2010 and vault server.

If you forgot to install DIN libraries during your original configuration:

Directly from your installation media, copy the relevant IDZ file to the Content Center library location on your PC. The IDZ file is an archived (zipped) IDCL file.  

The question is, how I supposed to extract this zipped file?

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Change File Naming For Profile Custom Library

Mar 3, 2012

Inventor creates a names to custom library parts based on settings and available parameters.

For all custom libraries I can create file names as I want except profile libraries.

The profile library create file name using Family Name + Stock Number and I did not find the

way to change it. I cannot get rid of that Stock Number in family name in this and other profile libraries. I wish I can use Part Number instead of Stock number in naming as more informative.

To change the file naming I do the following:

Manage - Editor - chose Library - chose family - Family Table - File Naming -

than chose required parameters to be shown as file name (for instance I have

{PARTNUMBER}), than in Map to Inventor Property: - Member.Display.Name

than OK  - Refresh - Done.

All custom libraries obeys the file name changing EXCEPT the profile library.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Content Center - Selecting Components From The Proper Custom Library

Jun 28, 2012

Because my company is setup such that it has 3 companies operating under one roof and multiple MRP systems we have components that could have different part numbers depending on which company is in posession of it.  As a design Engineer I need to be able to produce production drawings for all 3 divisions and provide production personnel the appropriate part #s for the items depending on where in the process the item is.

The Eng. Dept. acts across all companies the designs are controlled in a single place.  I have created Custom Content Center Libraries for the different companies for standard items like nuts, bolts, etc... 

How can I choose which Custom Conent Center Library my parts come from?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Content Center File Versions

Feb 15, 2012

By default Content Center creates the sub-directories 2012, 2011, 2010 etc. to store the generated content center instance files. I have never changed this behavior. Why is it required to maintain these files in the existing separate directories? I don't intend to use a previous release of Inventor once upgraded.

I can see that there is a good possibility of generating the same content center instance in multiple directories ie: if you created a 1/2" nut in the 2011 directory and then there is a good chance of doing it again in the 2012 directory.

I would like to migrate all the files in those directories to my current release 2012 then place them in a common "generic" directory without separation into yearly subdirectories. Would this cause any serious issues?

I know I'll probably be resolving links for a while, but I can deal with that as long as Content Center still works after that. I would of course change the default location to my "generic" location.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Content Center File Location?

Dec 22, 2011

When our tech was here to install Vault for us I had several pressing tasks going on and did not learn how to find and alter our content center files. I now have a little time over the Christmas break to work on this. Where do I look in the settings to see where the content center is located? I plan to copy the files to my machine as I will not have access to the server over the break and I will need to know where to reset the file search at. Is this done through the project folders? If so how do I accsee read/write? I do have admin rights and we are using 2012.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Content Center File Size

Jul 8, 2013

A couple of years ago, there was a limit to the part file size that could be published to the content center. Using the new shrinkwrap capabilities and/or derived parts in Inventor we can produce rather large part files. Does the 2014 software have limits to the actual file size that can be published to the content center. 520K, 1M, 30M, 1G? We have some subassemblies that we would like to convert and publish to the content center but wanted to know how large we can make them.

Content Center is located on server with 3T+ of storage possible.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Content Center Batch File Creation?

Jun 21, 2013

[URL]

I have begun the creation of a new custom content center library because the old one was or became corrupted during our migration from from Inventor 2011 to 2013.  The old custom library was un-recoverable.  The creation of a custom content center library, adding components to the the custom library and working with the file tables adding columns for part description etc.. is rather easy.  Refreshing legacy content center files has been rather difficult.  In some cases I needed to delete the legacy files and them re-insert them manually.  This process is rather time consuming.  What I would like to do is to create all the files in the family table after I have made the changes to the family talble.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Content Center Creating Duplicate File Folders?

Sep 11, 2012

why content center creates duplicates of existing folders?. Some of the folders have 6 or 8 versions and there is also a duplicate EN-US folder within the EN-US folder with nested folders. So bottom line i have multiple locations and nested files within the content center. Needless to say there is a lot of time spent pointing inventor to the parts necessary to open an assembly.

We are working on a network and are all pointing to the same content center location.  We are all using the same project files. Sometimes it works as you would expect, other times not.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Frame Generator And Custom CC Library Naming Convention

Jan 19, 2012

I have set up a Custom CC library that contains structural shapes.In the Family Table I have a Stock No column which references the value in my DESIGNATION columnThe Stock No column is mapped to Project.Stock NumberUnder Template Parameter (in Parameter Mapping) I have mapped StockNo to Design Tracking Properties: Stock Number.

When I use Frame Generator to add a structural shape, from my library, the name shown in the Model Browser is formatted as follows (Standard)+(Unique Number) and not (Standard)+(Stock Number)+(Unique Number).

How to get the Stock Number to show in the model Browser. How to get the members name to show, with the correct format, in the Model Browser as this will make identifying members in an assembly easier.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Content Center Characters

Oct 13, 2012

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?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Content Center Sharing

Jun 22, 2012

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.
