Autodesk Inventor Content Center libraries provide thousands of standard parts (fasteners, steel shapes, shaft parts, and so on). These libraries are accessed in Content Center. Explore the Content Center functionality to utilize standard parts in your designs.

The examples in this tutorial use content based on two different standards. If your Content Center configuration does not contain the corresponding standard libraries, read along without performing the steps. Or use a similar part from a different library. For example, if the tutorial calls for a screw from the ANSI standard and your library contains only ISO parts, substitute a similar screw from your ISO library.
