Hello everyone,
I want to add my own part for Nord Lock washers to the content center so that the designers of our company can use it with ease in a bolted connection.
So far I was able to add the custom part with family tree and all to the content center. This allowes me to add the washer in the assembly via "Place From Content Center". So far so good.
But when I open up the bolted connection wizzard an try to add the custome washer, it doesn't seem te appear in the list of parts (see screenshots below).
Can someone help me stap-by-step and find a solution for this issue?
Thank you.
Kind Regards
Tim Heuker
Part 1: Creating an iPart
To create an iPart of your washer, follow these steps:
I have also add d8 dimension, right click on d8 column then select Custom Parameter Column & Specify Range for column Then add same value of d8 in Minimum ≤ & ≤ Maximum box (for my case its 0.00 deg), press ok then again press ok I iPart Author.
Note: Step which include d8 is totally optional
Now, you have all the washers in a single file with their respective part numbers.
Part 2: Publishing the Part in Content Center
Close all parts, go to project>Configure Content Centre Library >Create Library (give name of your company or anything else) Press ok save project
Go to the Manage>Editor> select your library (which is made from project) & design your library with folder and sub folder as you want or manage your library data
Now Open your iPart and follow these steps
Select
Reason that I have use d8 as 0.00deg and set the custome value is
When I use Place from Content Centre and select that part and any size I will choose and press ok it will ask me to save the part, now I have to save this part in my folder then I will able to use that component, so next time when I open assembly from my pc or someone else’s PC which are generally connected with Server Or NAS I will never face issue for resolve part.

I added Nord-lock washers by copying one of the standard/original washer libraries, and then edited the table to match the physical sizes as per Nord-Lock dimensions by changing the thickness, inner diameter and out diameter.
Would have been nice to make them look a bit more like Nord-Lock washers, but it was a very quick way to add them to the library.
Hi Tim!
Have you checked whether the appropriate boxes are checked to show the library you need in the Sweco standard?
