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.
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.

Just helped a customer with this.
There is no need to create a new project file or do a Pack & Go.
The issue is that when a Project's Folder Options > Content Center Files path = [Default], Showcase does not know how to find the Content Center Files.
The way Inventor works, if this propety has a value of [Default], then Inventor get's the location from Ribbon > Tools > Application Options > File tab > Default Content Center Files.
How to fix for End-User:
To test that the value held, select a different project from the list, then reselect the edited project. Expand the Folder Options and verify the full, default path is shown.
How Showcase should function (For Autodesk):
If Project file is using [Default]:
Well, this is quite anoting for the tube and pipe. All the elbow and Tee and all the good stuff from the content center disapear in showcase. What is the good if creating a workflow in the software if it's not working. Even when we read from Dhowcase and set the project file, its still not working. When are we going to have this fix?
If you follow the instructions in my post, then you should be seeing everything in Showcase. I just did a test on my machine and everything came through just fine.
