missing content center

[mies07]

I somehow forgot to check the CC "Other" library upon install. Would like to put AI2015_Inventor OTHER.idcl in my library location. I found the idz file AI2015_Inventor OTHER.idz on my install thumbdrive, but cannot figure out how to extract it to a .idcl file. Other posts have made reference to .zip files that are supposed to be on the install media, but I cannot find them. I found an executable on the Autodesk web site

http://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/inventor-products/downloads/caas/downloads/content/autodesk-in...

but this seems to be for installing on a Vault server and I am afraid to try it.

I have also tried installing from the media setup.exe per screen shot below

but nothing happens when I click on the CC tab.

Can someone please just send me the AI2015_Inventor OTHER.idcl file or tell me where I can download it? This is rediculous, should not be so labyrithine to install a missing library.

Thanks

Hi!

Have you already try to go to the project manager and access to the library's manager.

Here you can able the custom library and also create a new one or migrate a old one.

Did you find this reply helpful ? If so, use the    Accept as Solution or Kudos - Thank you!

Thanks for your reply, but yes, of course, that was the first thing I tried. When I try to transfer from Desktop Content to Vault, none of the libraries except the custom libraries are available for transfer.

I also tried to download the executable Vault library installers from the link in original post, and the batch file (.bat) repreatedly failed

Surely there must be a simple way to install these standard libraries from the installation media (thumbdrive) without jumping through all these hoops!

You used to be able to either re-run the install routine or go into Control Panel > Programs & Features (don't recall WinXP now) and run a Repair/Change on the install - then you could install the entire CC or portions of it.

I tried both methods with 2015 and there does't appear to be an option to do this now.

Watching this thread as I'd like to load the "Other" CC library as well which didn't appear after installing 2015 with what I thought was the entire CC library.

Hello mies07,

I see you are trying to reinstall the libraries using the media but through the 'Install Tools & Utilities' option.  Instead of that, choose 'Install' in the main Window of the installation Wizard.




When you get to the "Install > Configure Installation" window, scroll down to the Shared Components section and click the drop down arrow under "Autodesk Inventor Content Libraries".




Try to install the missing libraries from there.


I hope this helps.

sorry to cut in on the OP's question, Thank You Cesar for your reply.

Due to every time I install Adesk software I usually have to end up calling or contacting somebody for assistance in getting the software registered, Do you know Cesar if this may screw up my currently registered and authorized to used 2015 software?

I ask because going thru the Install button - one of the first few screens I'm facing is of entering a serial number and do not want to have to contact Autodesk again to sort that out.

Hello ampster,

The licensing information is kept in the hard disk no matter if the program is reinstalled or uninstalled.  If you reinstall Autodesk Inventor using the same serial number and product key, the program will find the existing license information so activation should not be necessary.

Since in this case we are talking about modifying the installation of the CC libraries, which don't require activation, there should be no licensing issues either.

I hope that answers your question.

Is it possible the "Other" CC library has been incorporated into another library?

I went into the install and discovered it thinks the "Other Standard Content" library is loaded, but yet there's no .idcl file named as such like there used to be in the past;

When I go into Inventor 2015 and insert a CC part, The Filter list doesn't show "Other" but there is a "Other Parts" option in the parts tree;

[CESAR200]

This looks more like an installation issue.  If the corresponding .idcl file is missing, you can copy it from another computer where it's working normally.  But I believe the safest thing to do is to uninstall the libraries from the Control Panel > Programs and Features, and then reinstall them from your product media or download.

[ampster402]

I followed your instructions and uninstalled the CC thru the Control Panel.  When I went back into the install routine, it was interesting to note it thought the entire CC library was still installed.  So I unchecked all the CC libraries and then rechecked them and clicked the install button.

This time the OTHER .idcl file appeared.  Seems like there's a couple more options now under the Other section within the CC insert window.

I'd be curious if the OP got this resolved?

Thanks for your assistance Cesar
