The Refresh Standard Components process usually overwrites related .ipt files. To guarantee all occurrences receive the changes the process makes to the parts, run the Refresh command in Inventor afterward.

Note: Before you run this task, set the correct content server in Inventor.
  1. In the Inventor Task Scheduler window, click Refresh Standard Components .
  2. In the Inventor Task Scheduler window, right-click, and select Create Task Refresh Standard Components.
