These folders are actually called categories and when they are expanded, additional sub-categories (red-arrow) may appear along with the content center family tables (blue dashed arrow) that are associated to them.Ī Content Center family table is like a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet that contains all of the required information to define the component, much like a vendor catalog outlines the parts they provide. When you select “Place from content center” in Inventor, you will notice under the category view of the “Place from Content Center” dialog there are folders with icons on them. However, the Content Center interface is always accessed through the Inventor application no matter if you are using the desktop version or Vault. Yes I know I just said “these libraries are being managed by Vault”, so where are they? These libraries reside (or only can be seen) under the Autodesk Data Management Server Console (ADMS) application. But inside of Vault, all users are unable to see the actual libraries. Meaning when a user logs into Vault through the add-on for Inventor, he or she will have access to these libraries. For the vault side of it, the content center libraries are shared and managed by the vault database. However these desktop libraries can still be placed on a shared location within your network, allowing others to access them without a Vault infrastructure.

The desktop version is normally stored locally on the user’s PC and typically not shared.

In the next and final installment of this series, we will take this custom library we created and start learning how to build it to meet your requirements.Īs indicated in Part 1 of this series, there are two types of content centers in Inventor, a desktop version and one that is managed by Vault. If you missed Part 1 of this series, you can read that here. In this article segment I will go over the Inventor Content Center configuration, its internal structure and start to define a custom (read/write) library.
