Inventor Content Center - Remember the last configuration selected?

gma — Tue, 18 Oct 2022 15:56:35 GMT

I have made my own content center files.
I insert a file and do my configuration.
I find that it is not quite right and want to change the configuration.
Then it doesn't remember what I just selected, but it jumps back to what it was when I put it in.

With other content center files, it remembers the last choice - I don't know what I've done.

How do I get it to remember the last configuration selected?

@gma

What version of Inventor is this? Can you share some images to illustrate exactly what you are trying to do, and what the result is?

It is Inventor 2023

If you see pic1 then I make a configuration and put it into my assembly.

On Pic2, I want to change the part I just put in, but as you can see, the "CSA" is not marked in blue, but the "NONE" is. I think it was "CSA" that was supposed to be blue.
This one is easy as it is a single column that is wrong.
With another parts, it can't remember all 5-6 colons.
It works fine for most of the other parts we have in the content center

Hope it makes sense?

Hello,

As you are saying ...If you place a component from Content Center it is placed with given parameters - like bolt has diameter and length. If you want to modify size / configuration, there is the Change Size command. Change Size command opens family table dialog where actual parameters are indicated by blue strip - actual parameters are preselected. I am not aware of any Content Center part that does not preselect current parameters value from component being "Change Size"

Could you:

1. Create new Content Center user library

2. Using Content Center Editor Save Copy As (independent) this family (family you are showing in BMP image above) into new library

3. Send me (jan.priban@autodek.com) this new library (IDCL file) - or enclose IDCL here on forum
