Vault Upgrade 2008 to 2009 causing Content Center problems

[Anonymous]

We recently upgraded from Inventor/Vault 2008 to 2009 and have a concern.

When creating a new assembly in 2009 Inventor and inserting Content Center parts
the user is sometimes notified that Content Center files must be checked out.
This happens when local content is out of date, caused when Content used in 2008 is used in 2009.

If the user checks out content center parts, the local components are updated.
My understanding is that it is bad practice to allow all users to Check Out content center files.
If the content is not checked out, it can not be used.

Is this a problem?

I used a newly installed and default configuration of Inventor and
Vault 2009 for my test.

This is the web site I followed in creating my Project file and
configuring Vault and Inventor;

Let me know if there is anything specific you want to compare between
our two systems.

My results are:

Inventor 2009 EN (english):
CC file is copyed to local hard drive. It is fine and correct.

Inventor 2009 CS (czech):
CC file ISN'T copyed to local hard drive. It is fail.

I've never reported a bug, but this needs to get to Adsk's attention
somehow.

Some Vaults are set up to restrict user access to Content Center files. Do you both allow check out of Content Center part files, or is that limited to admin only?

This does sound like a software glitch.

I also found that if we use "place component" rather than "place from content center" we are able to avoid the bug (allows "get latest version"). This does require that content center files are on the workstation hard drive, and also requires browsing unrecognizable file names rather than the nice graphical interface of content center.

Hi Sirs,

I am having the same problem. Our customer has thousands of 3D models in CC Library, motors, threads, etc,... personalized.

After migrating, CC doesn't runs well. I'm thinking in having a normal folder inside project path that no cause us more migrating problems.

The idea of content center is genial, the performance is poor. (Have you tried an update a family of iparts? It is a hell).

Both instalation are clear from DVD, no extra settings.
Both login under administartor user to OS and to Vault too.

So, why in one language version it is working and in second isn't?

Where can I set check out content centre files? I searched this ability, but I couldn't find it.
