Asset Republish

I have made an asset.

I made some changes and want to publish the part again.

Now i get an error that it can't find the default dwg, see attachment.

How can i link that dwg.

Hi There,

 

Please give a try if  the following dwg templates are in Inventor.

C:\Users\Public\Documents\Autodesk\Inventor 2013\Templates\Metric\ANSI (mm).dwg

C:\Users\Public\Documents\Autodesk\Inventor 2013\Templates\English\ANSI (in).dwg

 

Thanks,

-Xuesong

Please mark as a solution if somehow I got it right.

Hi Xuesong

 

See the attachment.

But what if the file location is changed, do i need those templates there?

Hello Jos,

 

what Inventor version are you using? English Inventor or the localization version?

 

Can you help run the VBA in theInventor to help check whether template is there? Please post the result.

 

Sub TemplatePath()

    Dim msg As String

    msg = "English template:" + ThisApplication.FileManager.GetTemplateFile(kDrawingDocumentObject, kEnglishSystemOfMeasure, kANSI_DraftingStandard)

    msg = msg + "  Metric template:" + ThisApplication.FileManager.GetTemplateFile(kDrawingDocumentObject, kMetricSystemOfMeasure, kANSI_DraftingStandard)

    MsgBox msg

End Sub

 

Thanks,

Hi Jos -

 

Here's what we think is happening:

 

1) You have overridden the templates path in your active project.

2) The Factory publishing code is looking for the "ANSI" template in the "Metric" folder of the templates directory. In your case, you have neither.

 

I think you can fix this by adding a Metric (or English) directory into your templates directory, and making sure that that directory contains both an IDW and DWG corresponding to the ansi standard.

 

So, in English, you'd add:

  ansi (in).idw and ansi (in).dwg

And in Metric, you'd add:

  ansi (mm).idw and ansi (mm).dwg

 

You should only need the directory corresponding to the measurement system you installed with.

 

Please let us know how this works.

I reset the location to C:\Users\Public\Documents\Autodesk\Inventor 2013\Templates and now it works.

But actually that is not the location i want because its not on the server.

I think i have to change the template default to the folder on the server?

Hello Jos,

 

You can change to the template folder which includes the template file as Jeff said, which folder are shared at the server. The setting should be happened in Inventor Project setting.

 

Thanks,
