Adding Timing Belt / Synchronous Belt to the belt generator Inventor 17

[Anonymous]

Hi there !

So I want to add a new belt to the generator. 

I don't know how to that, therefore I've searched the Internet and found this:

• https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/configure-synchronous-belts/m-p/5858835#M564960
• http://blogs.rand.com/manufacturing/2015/02/how-to-add-synchronous-belts-to-inventor-design-accelera...

I don't have such a file within the Inventor 2017 installation folder. 

The only file that could have to do something with it - you can see in the picture. 

What am I doing wrong - did something change in Inventor?

Also, I do not understand the .xml file. It has path to not exisiting other .xml files. 

Here is a ecerpt:

My bad! I'm sorry this can be closed. 

The answer is quite easy, I was looking in the wrong directory.

You'll find the files when you are looking for in ...\Users\Puplic (my directory was C:\Users\Public\Documents\Autodesk\Inventor 2017\Design Data\Design Accelerator\Tables\SBelts)
