First off, we're not using Vault or ADMS as it's simply not an option at the moment. Possibly down the line - we'll just have to see, but no time in the forseable future.
I had a custom library I created on my local machine, no problems, full read/write access works fine.
Turns out there are a couple of us that need to share the library. I figured, no big deal, we'll just go out on the server and create a folder and copy them all there. I did this and configured inventor to look the server for the files. All seemed OK. It saw the files and I can insert parts into assemblies, etc. Problem is, my custom library is no longer set to Read/Write. It will only do Read Only. If I create a new library to that location, it gets created, but still only lists as Read Only.
In searching here, my guess is it has to do with permissions, but what permissions are required on the file/directory to enable Read/Write access? I already have full access to that network folder and it's contents. Does some sort of system account need added to it? Unless it's simply not possible on a network location, i'm at a loss.

I did a (I think) standard install of product suite premium 2013 a while back and am trying my first flexible hose run.
When I hit populate I get an error message saying something like "your request cannot be fulfilled because parts can"t be fetched from the content centre"
Now I see a whole lot of libraries are not available. My only other experience with this was when the mold libraries were not part of the installation and I had to do a huge download.
As far as the missing mold libraries went, I felt that was something the vendor should really have told us about. But let me not get ahead of myself this time, even though it's midnight and I can't do at least 1 run to show for tomorrow.

What is the most efficent way to share content center libraries between users? We do not use vault but do use project folders. It has been proposed to copy the CC to the server and then point the project files to that location?

I installed Autodesk Inventor 2012 which I was able to download because I am a student. The version I downloaded however, did not install libraries for the Content Center. The first thing I though was that the Content Center was a feature reserved for purchased versions of the program, but when I head to the downloads section I saw a link to download Content Center Libraries.
I downloaded the ISO and ANSI libraries to try out, and placed them in the directory where Inventor is supposed to search for them. When I started up Inventor, the Content Center was still empty. How can I use the libraries? I suspect Inventor is not reading them because they are Inventor 2010 libraries, but I am unable to use the Update Tool - it appears greyed out.

My Content Center Add-In is not loading in Inventor Pro 2012. It's listed as unloaded in the Add-In manager (see below), and, of course, "Place from Content Center" isn't shown as an option on any of the menus. If I double-click on Centent Center in the Add-In Manager, the word "Unloaded" changes to "Loaded" and I don't get any errors. It looks like it should have loaded fine. But then if I close the Add-In Manager and open it again, it has gone back to "Unloaded". I haven't found anything that can restore the Content Center functionality.
I have installed Inventor Pro 2013, and this could have been around when the Inventor 2012 Content Center broke. I'm not positive about the timing... If I start Inv 2013, the Content Center works fine in it.
What to do before uninstalling 2013 and/or reinstalling 2012?

Certain pieces from the content center, both things that I made and standard content, are coming into my drawings scaled wrong. Actually I don't think it's scale, because some rectangles are coming in as squares.
Everything looks great on the assembly, but they are wrong on the drawing. I've tried replacing from content center with no change.
.iam and resulting .idw. And one showing a wrong part and a correct part on an idw. The square on the left is supposed to be 2.25" square, which is what it measures to - but you can see that it isn't snapping to the actual geometry.
This is all stuff that has worked fine on previous versions of Inventor. I've had several instances of this so far since finally getting 2012 installed yesterday.

I have just installed Inventor 2012 and am experiencing a bizarre problem with placing content center parts. When I start a new assembly, and place a content center part, I would expect it to locate itself central to the assembly origin. What actually happens is that it grounds itself wherever I click on the screen. This doesn't happen with parts that I have created myself.
Is there a bug in the system or maybe an option that I have unknowingly switched off?

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?

We have Inventor 2013 installed in our Cad Lab in our High School... when logged in as the administrative account that the program was installed under, content center opens and works fine, however when logged in as a student (any student, they have individual network accounts), when you click to access content center to insert something, nothing happens, no error messages, nothing. I have tried re-installing content center under a student account, giving the student account admin rites, changing paths to content center, giving the student full access to the entire C drive, nothing seems to work... Windows 7 SP1 32 bit environment.

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.

is it posible to list all the materials from all libraries and catagories from Inventor 2013?
I am using this at the moment: Dim oMat As Inventor.Material For Each oMat In oApp.StylesManager.Materials comboMaterial.Items.Add(oMat.Name.ToString) Next
This works but only pulls through and lists the "Inventor Material Library" materials by default.
What is strange though is that when I apply a material from another library to a part then its almost like that library is now active and if the routine is run again it only pulls through materials from that library and not the "Inventor Material Library" again.
I know in 2014 its better supported but is there a way to get all materials in 2013?

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.
