Bolted connection: Cannot initialize part data table

[gcarvac]

Hi.

I've authored and published a custom nut to content center, and am trying to use it in a bolted connection. However, when trying to place an M14 nut, I get an error saying Cannot initialize part data table. However, I can place the nut from content center when not using the bolted connection tool.

Hi! I suspect there is some sort of mismatch between the family table of this newly published nut and the thread table. Does this custom nut use a custom thread table (not the one shipped with Inventor)?

Please share the publish ipt here. I would like to work with the project team to understand it better.

Many thanks!

I don't believe its using a custom thread. Pretty sure I just used the hole tool for M14. I've attached the part.

Hello,

better is to publish iPart. Content Center is designed to "consume" iPart. Basically conversion iPart -> CC part goes smoothly than regular part -> CC part. My suggestion:

- convert your silicone nut to iPart

- add into iPart table also thread properties (image Make_iPart)

- re-authrorize

- publish

- Bolted Connection (Place from CC) works smoothly

Ah sorry, got confused. I did create an ipart. Here it is. Sorry for the confusion!

@johnsonshiueor @jan_priban Was there any more advice you can give?

Hi @gcarvac,

Have you found a solution for this?

I've just successfully created Metric-Nylock Nut on Autodesk inventor which can be utilized on Bolted Connection in Assembly features

Just additional step from @jan_priban post above.

-setup a user parameter NMD (for example) and insert the number 4 (for M4).

-then ipart, ensure you have those items, I found NMD and Nom_Dia_Designation are required, number need to be adjusted to Nut Size anyway. I found it with "M" and without "M" will affect the process

-next, follow Component Authoring as per pictures and make sure those parameter from ipart are mapped.

No, and Autodesk never got back to me.
