Is this possible?
Okay, I am unable to "refresh" Tube & Pipe items from within Autodesk Supreme. What is the catch...???
By refresh,.. do you mean you changed the family table and now you want the push those changes out to the model? Yes this can be done. After you change a CC part, return to your assembly top level, save it and go to Manage\Refresh.

"Inventor Supreme"
"Autodesk Supreme"
What are these two softwares you are talking about? Never heard of them.
For CC items located in "Tube & Pipe" this does not work as I receive a message stating that the part is "owned by Tube & Pipe" and may ONLY be updated (refreshed) by "Tube and Pipe". Our entire department is running Inventor Supreme 2012, except one. That one exception is running Inventor Ultimate 2012, and ironically, is the ONLY one that can publish the changes.
Is there an add in for "Supreme" that will allow the changes to take place.
And, according to my reseller, Ultimate is the ONLY way to perform this update...
Sorry, we use IV 2011 Pro. I've never thought twice about it because in ours, Tube & Pipe CC parts refresh just like everything else in the CC.

Surprise...!!! Do NOT upgrade to 2012 or you will be unable to edit ANY "Tube and Pipe" unless you purchase the FULL versions of Inventor. I am not sure how many users realize how bad 2012 will effect their CC's...!!!
I only see Standard, Premium and Ultimate in any of the Design Suites.... not really sure where you're getting the "Supreme". A search of Inventor 2012 Supreme takes me to this post... and nowhere else.
confusion.....

Is there an "ADD-IN" that can be applied to Premium that will allow Tube&Pipe items to "refresh" in models...???
Oh no, it will refresh, if you pay the money for the full blown version of Inventor. We are considering suing for loss of productivity...
Hello,
What you said should be one issue in AI2012. I have added it to our issue tracking system. We will resolve it in the future.
Sorry to bring you inconvenience.
Best Regards,
Ruth Hu
Awesome...!!! So, you will have this fixed right after you solve the "Batch Plot" problems...LOL...!!! What about compensation...??? Who do we talk to about a partial refund...!!!
Wait, wait, wait...
Let me guess...Autodesk has "top men" working on it right now...LOL...!!!! It is a shame that we are held hostige by such ineptitude...!!!
Did you buy the software from a VAR? Did they know you were going to use it for Tube & Pipe and Content Center? If yes, I think you should talk to them about selling you the wrong software for the job. If there is a legitimate reason that this is not functional at a lower level (and I can't think of one), then a VAR should know that.
just some thoughts....

All I want to know (from AUTODESK) is whether or not Tube & Pipe is compatible with 2012 Premium. Finding the answer should NOT take this long...
