Check out iParts
You may check out an iPart member file or an iPart factory file. You may do this individually or as part of a parent assembly. Click here to learn how to check out an item. iPart member and factory files are downloaded in the same way when checked out as when they are downloaded.
Note: iPart member files cannot be modified directly. Therefore, you must check out the iPart factory file as well in order to make changes to any of its member files.
Note: When opening an iPart member file, if Inventor detects that there are differences between the member file and the factory file table parameters, then Upchain automatically checks out the member file as long as:
- The member file is in Development.
- You have the latest factory file downloaded in your home folder, or the factory file is already checked out to you.
