Content Center Parts with iFeatures

[mark-j-a]

I have several hydraulic fitting parts that I have created which use iFeatures to control the thread type and size. It uses the RowReplace to change to the correct row in the iFeature. These parts where made in Inv 2011 and imported into the content Center and work like a treat. We have upgraded to Inv 2012 and migrated all of the content centers libraries. Now the iFeature do not change, all of the other geometry changes as required except for the iFeatures.

I have tried to re-import one of the problematic parts into the content center from the original iPart file, to remove the migration out of the equation but it still somes to be a problem. I have attached a copy of one of the iParts which was imported into Content Center.

If anyone else has this problem and can enlighten us to the probable cause of the problem it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for reporting this.

I tried this on Inventor 2011 and 2012. But I did not find the difference of the bebavior. Could you post the snapshot of the screen and marked the issue? It is better to post the iFeature file too.

Leo,

The problem is with the part that has been Published to the Content Center, not with the individual iFeatures or iParts which was published. Since I have posted this problem I have deleted all of the old Content centre parts which was migrated across and re-publishment them.

The trick is that I believe the row:replace functionality is gone from the content center, however I made the iFeature Parameters visible in the content centre table and simple add the dimension and parameters like another dimension. It took us a week to re-publish everything, but the job is done.
