View 5 RepliesI want to change the description of a bolt to be "M(bolt size) bolt. then add the length in another column. example M10 bolt.
I want to know if it is possible to do this using the Family Properties & changing the "Family Description" to something like M=<NND> BOLT. i have tried but had no luck as it only comes back with "M Bolt" & no diameter
Any other way to make it populate a BOM easily.
I want to change the bolt form "M8×80" into "M8×50". How to realize the function in my VB program make use of API?

View 3 Replies View RelatedAll options relating to the content centre seem to have disappeared. When i try and add a structural shape via manage tab / author - I get the following message Structural Shape Library cannot be found or Content Centre isnt logged in, please check it and try again. i have checked the active project and it includes the content centre location. Also in an Assembly I do not have the option of placing from content centre.

I have tried copying the idcl files from 2012 CC libraries into into 2013 but Inventor 2013 is not recognizing them. Within the 'update libraries' dialogue box the are listed in red and 'not available'
I've been floundering around for a few days now trying various fixes from the net without success.
For a while now whenever I open a new assembly the default is place from content centre, I use the drop-down and select place.
Today I needed place from content centre and it just doesn't come up.
It is loaded/automatic in the addins.
If I open my projects, in the bottom right corner where I would usually click to acess my installed libraries, I click but it does nothing!
I also noticed studio and BIM are greyed out, but I have started to play with Showcase so not really a problem. I need to set up a read/write library soon, so it's going to be a problem.
When using Content Centre, in the Favourite’s section, the Tree View will not default to Thumbnail View. Every time I close the Content Centre it reverts back to Tree View.

Is it possible to export content centre favourites?
I have a number of parts marked as favourites from our custom CC library. I have created folders and sub folders for the various items, nuts, bolts, washer, steel sections and piping parts and would ideally like to be able to export the setup in much the same way as exporting the 'Application Options' out to a XML file. This can then be imported into other machines creating a list of favourites for all users.
Ive got a job im doing that requires the use of chinese steel.
There is a revit library and a asd library for chinese steel sections.
Is there chinese steel that can be added tothe content centre.
If so where can i get it and how do i load it?
In my work i normally use our standard full threaded rods with square nuts. But, since we make the rods and nuts in the factory, they do not follow any international standard.
I wanted to add the threaded rods to the Bolted Connection menu in order to be able to automaticaly add the rod and to let inventor calculate the needed lenght.
I was able to add the rod to content center as an Ipart with all available sizes, but it doesn't appear on the bolted connections menu.
See attached our normal bolted connection, how can I add this to bolted connection so inventor will size it automatically to the needed lenght?
How to get whether an occurence in a assembly is of content centre (kContentCenterObject) ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a flat bar family similar to the ANSI one but has smaller sizes & is more in line with the AS standard. I have searched the inter web & have found a few on changing/editing existing families but not creating a new one.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI typically use basic ISO fastners in conjunction with the bolted connection generator. Just now I have discovered the ability to add a custom library to the content centre. This appears fantastic as I no longer have to sift through the 10 - 30 or so items available in each category to complete my bolted connection.
However I am experiencing a delima
I have created a custom library called "My Favourites" and it contains 6 bolt families, 1 spring & flat washer family and 1 nut family. All families are derived from the ISO standard (bar the spring washer which is DIN 128) and all thread pitches for the respective nut and bolt connection(s) match.
The problem I am experiencing is when I execute the bolted connection command I can add the bolt, 2 flats and 1 spring washer yet when I come to close the connection with a nut the nut selection box is empty?
I have the active project configured with "My Favourites" "Inventor Feature" & "Inventor Routed Systems" as the only in use libraries. Secondly, I have verified the existance of the nut(s) in "My Favourites" in the Content Centre Editor.
I am using Inventor 2010 updated to SP3 on a standalone machine, running Windows 7 Ultimate (w/ latest updates)
Create a Content Center Part that prompts for a file name and sets the Part Number to whatever I save the part as? It would also be nice to... Have the browser Display name the same as the saved filename.
If I have a standard part with a blank filename, inventor will make the part number equal the filename at the first save. It is this functionality that I require when using Custom Content parts.
E.G. If I have a length of 'RHS 200x100x6.3 - 2000mm' selected from content centre and I want the filename to be saved as 'Part-001', then I would like the Part Number to be set as 'Part-001'.
If I then place the same member in another project/assembly I may want to call it 'ProjectPart-100', where the part number would then be 'ProjectPart-100' and so on.
This method ignores the filename entry in the Ipart table.
I have been trying to add my own shapes to the Content Centre, with some success, but for being able to use them in Frame Generator. I was able to Author a new part and publish it to Structural Shapes and it works very well. However when I try to use it in Frame Generator there is an issue that I do not understand. Frame Generator recognises the family and all of the different sizes and materials, but when it come to inserting the part, i get the following message:
I am not sure what this means. The part family is in my own library in a seperate category. I don't know what/where template file needs to be and is that the same ipt file that I used to create the Content Centre part/shape? Do I need to create a new Standard rather than "attaching" it to the AS Standard?
how I can get the bolt type and sizes to show in the description of the item in a parts list when placed through Content Center! I would like the same with all fixings.
We have configured our own Content Center by copying standards and replacing the part number with our own reference number. This then shows the description as "Bolt" with no size etc.
Can Content Center be configured in a way to show sizes in description?
We facing the error shown in screenshot attached with this mail.
We are not able to read content centre.
I also check the path "C:ProgramDataAutodeskInventor 2013Content CenterLibraries" and found that its a empty.

I have 45 PCs running Autodesk Inventor 2011 in a student PC lab. We have since set up Vault Server and I need to change the location that these point at.The files that I need to edit can be got to by:
1. Open Autodesk Inventor
2. Click “Pro”
3. Click “Options”
4. Click the “File” tab
5. I need to edit the following: Default templates, Design Data (Styles, etc) and Default Content Centre files.
6. The above three will be pointed to a server that has vault setup on it (\vault emplates, etc).
Now to clarify, Inventor works, I do not need assistance activating it, and I do not need assistance with group policy to set up the install..I need to be able to modify the above with group policy through either the registry (if possible) or some other method.
I am trying to create/publish custom shapes into Content Centre and for use in Frame Generator. I can create the i-Part and configure the parameters I want to enable different sizes - no problem. However when I go to "Publish Part" ()
I get the following error.......
do I need to save the ipt file in a different location? What dependencies are there? I get the same result if I follow the Inventor tutorial using the brace.ipt part....
We are developing a macro for steel structures and we know about the program to insert or place a content center component in assembly through VBA programming. If there are provisions for changing the object type and changing length in that importing process it will be very useful.

We will be pleased if the program had provisions for specifying the type of steel structure and length at each occurrence of the object.

I am using Inv/Vault Pro 2011.
I have some problems with Bolt Connection Component Generator. For placement I choose Concentric, i choose all references, but I can't select Diameter. It is stuck to 10mm and i can't change it.
I am using Inventor Profesional 2013
After I create bolt connection by select the "termination" and all the fasteners, the length of bolt is fixed. How can I change the length of bolt?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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?

Is there any way to locate exact center of a circle in after effects? I made a perfect circle in photo editing program and since layer's boundaries corresponded to circle's edges, i thought that anchor point in after effects will be exactly at the center. but it's not the case - the anchor point is at the center of a composition!
I imported the circle .psd layer together with other layers as a composition, does this have any importance? As i said,the circle layer boundaries corresond with circles edges, not with canvas' edges in my photo editing program. But whe i solo the circle layer, i see that the anchor point is at the center of a composition, not the layer.
So now i have to place anchor point at the center manualy, and it's pretty difficult to do it perfectly. when i rotate the circle, it wobbles and wobbles.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've assembled a bolt and a slide block that is constrained to a base plate and am able to put everything in motion. I have the slide block constrained to slide the distance of the base plate and when I reach the end the bolt continues to rotate when, if this was a real part, should stop. How can I get this bolt to stop once the slide block reaches its ending constraint?
