may be trivial to some but having worked in the 2d Autocad world most of my
design life, I am used to having libraries of components (screws, nuts,
dowels, etc) located on our network. Then with a little customization to our
pull-down menus we are able to select what we need and insert it into our
drawing. This is very fast, literally takes seconds and does not disrupt the
design process. What is the best way to emulate this in Inventor? When I
access the content library it just seems to takes too long to navigate,
although iDrop is nice! I know I can copy content to my CAD one at a time but
is there a way to batch copy many items to build our own custom libraries?
Should I take the time and create libraries of "iFeatures" rather than using
content ? Or, am I going about this all-wrong being new to the modeling
world?

tmalinsky,
I understand what you are asking
for.
Although IV is the latest and greatest, and is
made by the same company as ACAD, until now there is no functionality built-in
that comes close to what you are doing in ACAD and MDT libraries in ease of
use, flexibility and speed.
The way Adesk now took with the content in IV6
is, according to common sense in this NG and to my personal opinion, not the
best one.
But there is hope for the near
future:
- Iparts seem to gain and are a great
concept
- Genius Inventor will be released soon and will
provide exactly the same functionality known from MDT-PP

I wasn't very impressed with the Genius release
for AutoCAD Mechanical or Desktop when it first came out. I know it did
get better but I had lots of problems at first. Also the current content
library (I believe) is created by the same company that was originally
associated with the Genius product (I could be wrong on this but I heard this
a while back). Is the company that is making genius for Inventor (
href="http://www.genius.de/gb/">http://www.genius.de/gb/) the same one
that did it for AutoCAD / MDT?
I think the only way to make a content library
100% customizable is to use iparts (possibly built into the system) in
some manner. (My two cents)
