Set Factory Assets Defaults

Set Factory Assets Defaults

The ability to use cloud-based assets or restrict use to local assets only is provided through the Factory Assets default settings. You specify where downloaded cloud-based assets are stored. You are also able to disable automatic proxy detection.

To access Factory Assets defaults:

1. At the bottom of the Application menu , click Options.
2. In the Options dialog box, navigate to the Factory Assets tab.
3. Check/uncheck Enable Cloud-based assets. Active by default, this setting lets you download and store cloud-based content. The downloaded assets are stored in a folder called FactoryCloudLibrary.
4. Click the Browse button in the Local Cloud asset library section to specify a different location for the FactoryCloudLibrary folder. Click the Clear Folder button if you wish to remove the contents of the FactoryCloudLibrary folder.
Note: Clearing the library folder will force all downloaded cloud-based assets to be downloaded again before they can be used.
5. Automatic proxy detection is a setting that is controlled by the LAN Settings in Internet Explorer's Internet Options. There may be instances where it is desirable to retain the "Automatically Detect" setting for normal web browsing, but there can occasionally be a degradation in performance when downloading Cloud-based assets. Activate the Disable automatic proxy detection check box to selectively override the default LAN Settings behavior and increase performance.
6. Optionally, specify a path to an Inventor project file containing paths to your factory asset library. Clear the path from this field if you do not want to have access to the library.
