Content Center Process

The Content Center in Autodesk Inventor provides the means to access and maintain libraries. You can create as many libraries as you need on the Autodesk® Vault Server. You attach them to the Content Center using the Configure Content Center Libraries command.

If the library has not been attached to the Autodesk Vault Server, attach it first.

You access the library parts using the Place from Content Center and Replace from Content Center commands. After you locate a part in a library, you set parameters for the part. Then use AutoDrop to insert the part in the assembly file or directly onto a run. When a library part is dropped into an assembly, an .ipt file is created for it. The inserted part is added to the Model browser.

To manage libraries on the server, click Start Programs Autodesk Autodesk Data ManagementAutodesk Data Management Server Console . Log in to the server, and click OK. Once the console is open, you can perform several operations.

Note: To manage and configure libraries, you must have read/write permissions to the Content Center and libraries. If you need permissions, request them from the system administrator.
