Data Standard New Files Interface for Inventor Components-–Frame Generator Files

The New Files-Frame Generator data sheet lists all new files generated by the Frame Generator Module.

The following document types are supported for Frame Generator:

• Frame container assemblies
• Frame Skeleton part
• Frame components

Uncollapse each sublist to see the files for each document type. Every file listed requires user input before the new file can be saved for the first time.

Select a file from the list to start filling in the data for that file.

Tip: Select one or more files of the same document type to make changes to them all at the same time. Fields with unique values for each file will show Varies as a value.

Frame Assemblies

1. Select a numbering scheme and enter any required text in the Number fields.
   Note: If no numbering schemes are available, move onto the next step.
2. Enter a title for the assembly. This field is required by default.
3. If desired, fill in a description of the assembly.
4. The state of the assembly is defined by Inventor. This cannot be edited.
5. The path where the assembly is saved is defined by Inventor. This path cannot be edited.
6. The assembly name is provided by Inventor but can be modified.
   Note: Users can only modify the File Name if no numbering scheme is defined.
7. Include any comments about the assembly, if needed.

Frame Skeleton Parts

1. Select a numbering scheme and enter any required text in the Number fields.
   Note: If no numbering schemes are available, move onto the next step.
2. Enter a title for the frame skeleton part. This field is required by default.
3. If desired, fill in a description of the frame skeleton part.
4. The state of the frame skeleton part is automatically defined by Inventor. This value cannot be edited.
5. The path where the frame skeleton part is saved is defined by Inventor. This path cannot be edited.
6. The frame skeleton part name is provided by Inventor but can be modified.
   Note: Users can only modify the File Name if no numbering scheme is defined.
7. Include any comments about the frame skeleton part, if needed.

Frame Components

1. Select a numbering scheme and enter any required text in the Number fields.
   Note: If no numbering schemes are available, move onto the next step.
2. Enter a title for the frame component. This field is required by default.
3. If desired, fill in a description of the frame component.
4. The state of the frame component is automatically defined by Inventor. This value cannot be edited.
5. The path where the frame component is saved is defined by Inventor. This path cannot be edited.
6. The frame component name is provided by Inventor but can be modified.
   Note: Users can only modify the File Name if no numbering scheme is defined.
7. Include any comments about the frame component, if needed.

When you are finished, click OK.

Note: The OK button becomes active only when all required fields for all data sheets have been filled in.
