Error Exporting Parts from IPE

[joshua_modglin]

I thought Infrastructure Parts Editor would have been ready by now. I have created a new part in Inventor, brought it into my IPE catalog, assembled, and validated. It all looks great until I try to export from IPE to a Civil 3D Parts Catalog. I get the error log listed below. I can easily add these as model parameters to the part but don't know what would consume them. Is anyone else having success working with new Inventor parts into IPE and then to C3D yet?

Converting: IN_PAVEMENT_MANHOLE_IMPERIAL :Fail

• —Error: Underground Structure does not have property USBaseForm
• —Error: Surface Structure does not have property SSForm
• —Error: Grate or Cover does not have property CGForm

Hi Josh,

I'm getting this error too. Still trying to resolve in preparation for my AU 2018 class. You have any luck? The original Inventor files don't have that parameter - this is the first I've seen of it.

Steve,

Support helped a little. There were missing values, specifically under Detailed Properties (See attached). When I made the change the errors went away and it stated that the publish was successful. However, when working with parts in C3D, it gave other errors regarding the part's XML file. After working with support for 6 weeks, I went back to the old part builder for now. I don't know if this helps.

Thanks @joshua_modglin. I was able to get a hold of Autodesk. I was missing this setting as well - I don't recall it not automatically setting last version, but it fixed it - was just going too fast through the dialogs.
