To Set Library and iPart Paths in Projects

Set Paths for Libraries

1. Right-click Libraries and click one of the options on the menu:
   • Add Path. Enter a library name and its location. Click Save.
   • Add Paths from File. Browse to and select a project (.ipj) file. Click Open.
   • Paste Path. Paste a copied path.
   • Delete Section Paths. Delete all paths in the Library section.
2. Click Save.
Note: When you create a project, you can add library search paths from other projects.

Add Library Search Paths from Other Projects

1. Verify that all Inventor files are closed.
2. Open the Project Editor, and then click New.
3. On the first two pages of the Project wizard, specify the project type, the project name, and location of the workspace or workgroup. Click Next.
4. On the Select Libraries page, use the Add and Remove arrows to create a list in the New Project pane.
5. Click Finish.

Set Paths for iPart Factories

1. Verify that all Inventor files are closed.
2. In the Project Editor, double-click a project to activate it.
3. In the lower pane, right-click the Libraries category, and then click Add Path.
4. Browse to the folder, or enter the name of the library folder to add a library path for the iPart factory file.

   If the folder was created previously, right-click the newly created library path, and then click Add Proxy Path. Browse to the folder location and select it.

   For custom iPart factories only, enter a location for the iPart factory proxy file. A proxy folder is created automatically with the same name as the iPart factory library, but with a leading underscore (_) character.

If the proxy folder does not exist, use Microsoft Windows Explorer to create it before you add the proxy path. You can click Add Path again, and specify the new folder path. Name the new library the same as the iPart factory library, preceded with an underscore character.
