Hi guys/gals,
I went for a vacation for 2 weeks, and when came back and launch Autodesk Product Design Suite Premium 2012 64bit using the default PROJECT because, I need to update the company logo. I was prompt with this error message.
The bmp logo is on this location C:\Users\Public\Documents\Autodesk\Inventor 2012\Templates
What seems to be the problem here!
I am the only one using the computer and it is password protected.
Here is the Project dialog box
Any files stored outside of the Project scope of search will produce this warning. Templates are the start of your part and are stored outside of the Project. When you save the template with a "work" name it's now stored and located within your Project work directory. Possibly your BMP file is a link and not placed within (stored within the template file).
You don't need to change Projects to update your Templates, simply open the template, make your changes and use the Save-As Template option in the Inventor File Menu. It will write the updated file back into your Template Directory as listed in the Inventor>Application Options>Files tab
Hi Blair,
Thank you for the info.
Basically, what I did is Open Inventor and select Projects then double click on the "Default" as the BMP was save on C:\Users\Public\Documents\Autodesk\Inventor 2012\Templates in which a default location for Templates, etc. I then click Open and select the Standard.idw that I want to change the logo.
On the Model browser tree I expand the "Drawing Resources" and expand the "Title Blocks" then select and RMC the "ISO" and select "EDIT"option.
Right after clicking the "EDIT" option the error message pops-up. Which previously, not happening.
My BMP and IDW is in the default project location.
Now, I am getting a crash... OMG Welcome 2015....
Crashing on other templates as well?
We store all graphics in it's own folder with the graphics folder used as a Library path in all our projects. This includes our logo graphics and any decal graphics.
Hi Blair,
It was only in that particular .idw. So, what I did was create a new standard.idw and replaced the damagae one. I believe the file is already corrupted.
Thank you for your time.
