Styles and standards Editor doesn't have materials

[eluoci]

Hi i am doing a tutorial that is based around 2012 Autodesk Inventor and it askes me to change density of the material in Styles and Standards Editor. I am using 2014 version and only has Lighting and Text. Did it get moved to different place in later versions? 

Best Regards!

What tutorial?  Do you have a reference?  A url?

Sounds like a misunderstanding in the intent of the tutorial.

What is the main topic of the tutorial?

What environment?

Inventor Studio?

other

drawing?

part?

assembly?

other?

Is the part supposed to be sheet metal?

Hi JDMather! its very basic tutorial on youtube, I am not sure if youll understand it because its in russian, and the version the guy is using is too (2012). But he clearly goes to Style editor. Its in a standard part (mm). The task is to change mild steel density property and see as it took effect in iProperties of the part (or its equivalent in earlier version) I have Inventor Professsinal 2014 student version. But there is only light and text in the menu, but he has colour, light and material. I only have Light and Text when in standard ipt, but in sheet metal part its same as yours.

Best Regards!

yes materials and appearances are no longer in the style/standard editor.

Simply access them via the round buttons next to the material and appearance dropdown in the quick access toolbar

OR in the Material & Appearance section of the tools tab on the ribbon
