    Is anyone facing the same problem that Inventor CC parts don't show in Showcase?

    Hello 

    Can you tell me what version of Showcase and Inventor you are using. 

    Also 

    Would you be able to attach the Inventor CC Part so that I can check it out.

    I assume you have no the cc part in your project location or you just copy all the inventor files, not include the cc file to another location.

    I would suggest you use Pack and Go to include all the files you needed, then import into Showcase, you will get what you want.

    Yes, Emily is correct

    Showcase does import CC parts, but you have to make sure that the link to the ipt files is there.

    Thanks for the tip about pack and go. :cathappy:

    I'm using the 2013 suite and in inventor you can use the " suite workflow" command, from there I choose  " showcase constrained animation" Because my goal is to have a nicely rendered animation.

    Do I have to conclude that this is not the correct method? If possible I prefer this workflow because it allows me to easy do changes in Inventor and update the model in showcase. With the pack and go method this would be more cumbersome I assume

    Suites Workflow is new feature for FDS 2013 and used to transfer files between different applications smoothly and efficiently, your operation is correct and recommended.

    I can reproduce your issue on my machine, but I didn't find the reason till now, so I need some time to work with my team on your problem and will update to you when I got more info.

    I just got two suggests for your issue.

    1  Place the cc parts As Custom and save them under the path of Project folder.

    2  If you want to use cc parts As Standard.It's better setting the folder options for content center file under the path of your Project location,not use the default location.

    These solutions will let showcase find the content center files.

     Please let me know if you have any question.

    Thanks for the tip Emily, For your info, I use a different project file for at least every client and often also for every new assignment and I don't use vault. Is this possible to do your suggestions with assemblies that are made in projects that set up differently. If this is the only approach right now I would prefer to make a complete copy of the project and than do this changes to the CCparts to avoid problems in the parts list etc in the manufacturing side. The bad thing with this is that the changes done on the mother project don't effect Showcase anymore unless you do the same work also in the daughter project. It looks as it is not going to be an easy walk around until this bug is fixed.....
