Custom Tube and Pipe Style Needs to be imported each time...

So as the title says I am running into trouble every time I open a new assembly using Inventor 2014... I am forced to re-import the style every time I go to create a tube & pipe run in a new assembly. I am trying to find some settings to make it a default style but have been unsuccessful thus far. Anyone know how to make my style remain an option and not force me to re-import each time?

The template for the T & P is actually a IAM file on your system, you should be able to find it under this path: C:\Users\Public\Documents\Autodesk\Inventor 2014\Design Data\Tube & Pipe\en-US Save a copy of your updated file, open it, delete any runs that you have done and then save it in this directory on the default name. It would be a good thing to rename the existing file to "Piping Runs.SAV" so as to at least keep it around. This is the only file in Inventor that is stored in a obscure location.

I will be very interested in seeing how this works out for the OP, because I have had this issue before and tried this method in 2012, and it didn't work.

I would like to try this in 2014 and see if this same thing is repeated.

Blair: Thanks for the help finding the location of the template file! That was the one thing that was holding me up. I found directions to do so on a previous version (http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112&id=8385597&linkID=9242018) but it looks like they moved the location of the tube and run templates to the location you suggested. 

 

Scott: I replaced the old default assembly with my new one and then restarted my comp and since then when I create a new assembly the styles I imported are remaining so it looks like whatever issue you previously had has been fixed.


Thanks for all the help.

I do a lot of flexible T & P runs. The first thing I do is copy my old "Piping Runs" assembly fine in and migrate it. All my flexible T & P tube styles are there. I've been doing this since T & P was added to Inventor.

I did that as well.  I had a very similar thread like this one about a year ago, and the answer you gave was what I tried.  Except it didn't work for what ever reason.  I don't know if it was a permissions thing, even though I was an admin to my system, or what.  That is why I want to try this again on my home machine to prove to myself that it does indeed work.  I am not saying that you are wrong, it is just hard for me to state this as an answer if I have not had success doing it.
