    Frame Generator Not Inserting Part

    Hi, all

     

     

    Im using frame generator, i create my skeleton part, start up frame generator, select my frame types and connect them to the lines, press OK, accept the default filenames then get this error:

     

     

    [WARNING] Frame Generator: Errors occurred during inserting Frame Member(s)

        [WARNING] Insertion of frame member(s) failed

            [ERROR] A frame member could not be created.  The template file for ANSI ANSI AISC (Rectangular) - Flat Bar Steel could not be located in the Content Center library.

     

     

    and no parts are put in the assembly.

     

     

    I have updated the content centre etc and installed all the latest updates. I have also reinstalled Inventor and The local content centre but the error persists.

     

     

    Ive included a couple of screen shots that show the error.

     

     

    Please help as frame generator is useless until this is fixed and i need to design some frames.

     

     

    Thanks for help in advance.

    Hi  cmharb,

     

    You might want to check your project file and ensure that the Conent Center libraries are configured/included for it.

     

    See the Configure Content Center Libraries topic listed under Procedures at this link:

    http://wikihelp.autodesk.com/Inventor/enu/2013/Help/1310-Autodesk1310/1655-Assembli1655/1779-Content...

     

    I hope this helps.
    Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,
    Curtis

    Here's an image of the Configure dialog I found in another thread, you should see the ISO library listed as shown:

    Yea they are all there.

     

     

    The Bolt generator and Content Centre work fine, I can even insert Frame parts from the Content Centre but not using the Frame Generator

    Can you try a different CC library other than ISO

    Can you check the ISO library properties and file size

    yup, have a look at the images i posted on my first post. It gets all the way through the wizard sequence and just when the part is supposed to appear i get the error message.

     

    the content centure is on the vault, and doesnt show size etc.

    Probably a problem with your Vault settings then.
