"Unable to create component" from content center

Today, all of a sudden, my coworkers and I cannot place standard parts from our content center (there are only three of us). We are not using Vault - but we have set up our Content Center to access a network location:

 

N:\Standards\Inventor\Content Center Files\Libraries\

 

This has worked for months ever since we set it up. Problems just started today for all of us. Parts that DO work are parts that you have to tell it an extruded length (like structural steel or tube/pipe). Nothing else will work (fasteners, pipe fittings, shaft collars, etc).

 

Interestingly, if I select to insert the part "as custom" instead of "as standard", all parts work like they should.

 

For the parts that do not work, I can navigate through all of the menus to select parts, but instead of getting the "Save As" dialogue, I get the "Unable to create component" error message.

 

What's going on?

Never mind - I figured out the problem.

 

Our IT department set the 'Standards' folder to read-only...which meant the content center could not write any parts to it's location. I had them give the couple of Inventor users full read/write access to that subfolder, and it is back to normal.

Hi Matyas,

 

Your question is a bit vague. Are you using PDM solution like Vault? How do you manage your files? Are you trying to set up a shared drive where all users can access to and save CC parts?

Many thanks!
