Joining projetcs

Hi all
Is there a way to join projects? I have different projects for a few different parts that I would like to make an assembly from.
Thanks

1. Only use one project file (IPJ) and you won't have this problem.


For simplicity (and present or future Autodesk Vault compatibility), we recommend to use a single project file. A single project file does not contain any other project file and is used to control all designs. With the single project file configuration you gain:

  • Simplicity: With a single project, you use the same project file for every design in your environment. You do not have to remember what project file to use with which data set. You also benefit from having a single common location for all your data.
  • Reduced Resolution Failures: Inventor can automatically search for any missing files throughout your entire data set. This practice greatly reduces the number of times you must manually locate missing files.
  • Increased Design Reuse: Simplify the reuse of other data from your current designs or vault.
Quoted from http://wikihelp.autodesk.com/

2. You cannot automaticly combine projects.

 

How do you fix this?

 

1. You'll need to rename any duplicate files names within the two projects.

 

2. Then create a new single project file for all files.

 

Vault makes this so much easier, but the file folder structure used there is key.
