    2013: custom Material Library

    717 Views, 2 Replies

    I've made my own material library containing a short list of materials from the Inventor default library.  And I have set my Project ipj to use it as the default library.  All works OK.  But, every time I make a new project ipj I have to go find my custom library adsklib file to add it to the project.  Is there a certain folder the adsklib file need to live in so that new projects will pick it up automatically?

     

    Thanks, Allen

    There are 2 materials libraries

    Autodesk: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Autodesk Shared\Materials\2013

    &
    Inventor: C:\Users\Public\Documents\Autodesk\Inventor 2013\Design Data\Materials

    Allen,

     

    Unfortunately not, you will have to add your custom adsklib file to each project file that needs access to it.
