Inventor 2010
Second post
When I insert a threaded part from the Content Center I get this message "unable to successfully update the member part file, problem occurred when setting thread data" The fastener will insert but the threads are very small. Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem.
Thanks

Check the thread definition in threads.xls. Perhaps your file has been modified, and the name of the thread style does not exist any more.
Perhaps this is the problem. I cannot find a file "threads.xls" . Can you send me the file and tell me where it should be installed
Thanks
On Windows 7 you'll find it in : C:\Users\Public\Documents\Autodesk\Inventor 2010\Design Data.
The exact name is : Thread.xls .
If I recall correctly, there were also issues with Excel and Inventor 2010 on Win 7. Might search this forum for help.
I am running Windows XP pro. SP3
I found thread.xls in Autodesk/inventor 2010/Design Data. The spread sheet seams to be intact. I also found a copy in Autodesk/Inventor 2010/Bin/New Styles Library. This spread sheet is empty of data.
Should I delete the empty spread sheet in new styles library?
Would you send me a new copy of the spread sheet in case mine is corrupt.
Thanks
The new styles library folder is not a default folder.
In Inventor options, check where is YOUR data folder : it is on tab "Files", 3rd line "Data conceptions". Normally it is "Autodesk/inventor 2010/Design Data". You have the same thing in the ipj file, in the section "Folder options", 1st line : "Data conceptions".
If you need to recover the original file, in the Design Data folder you have a zip file named "DesignData.exe". It contains all the original files.
