No materials in materials libraries

iklompe — Fri, 12 May 2023 14:45:21 GMT

Hello,

I am missing my materials in my material library, and i do not have an idea how to fix it.

Project file is ok, the only thing i can find is that if you go to material, the library shows an yellow triangle. (and that is probarbly not good)

But if you want to locate the file, inventor says that the file is already in use.

Anybody an idea, what is happening.

Are you using a multi-body part?

Hi! The library is probably corrupted. Do you still have access to Inventor Material Library or Autodesk Material Library (go to Project settings -> Material Library)?

Many thanks!

According to our Autodesk supplier (Cadac), the file is not corrupted, because i send it to them, and they can actually open it.

Hi! The ipt file isn't corrupted. What I meant was that the material library was corrupted. Can you share the library .adsklib file here?

Many thanks!

You cannot upload that file format, well that is nice, zipped also not possible.

.zip file format is accepted as an attachment in the Autodesk forums. If that doesn't work for you, try simply renaming it to .txt.
