Importing Beam Section Libraries

Hello,

 

I am trying to import the attached library of aluminum sections which should include square web section properties. When I import the library into the "Content Center Libraries" but when I do, I get a yellow "!" and when I try to select one of the square web c-channels I do not see them.

This looks like a question for the Inventor forum, so I will move it to that board.

You need to migrate the library to your current version. The library is for a 2016 version of Inventor.
Once you do that you'll find the contents there (I created a new filter to show only the Aluminum Association content)
