New User- parts catalog useage

[harper_jamie04]

Good afternoon-

As a new user was hoping to make a simple animation to demonstrate the basic capabilities of Inventor. Any tips on the best way to access the parts library for a simple build?

Thank you

Simple build of what?  Parts Library-- do you mean the Content Library?  How much training have you had?  What version of Inventor are you using?

Sam-Content Library. Thank you. Zero training. I just download the trial of Professional 2024. I thought that Inventor might be a good addition to the assessment database I am building for the oil and gas industry.

I don't have the time or expertise to give you a tutorial on using the Content Center.  There should be Help information readily available (Inventor 2024 Help | Autodesk), as well as in the Autodesk Knowlegebase.

The bare bones: you need to have one or more libraries installed, and your active project configured to use them.  Here is the list of libraries installed on my system, along with the default location for them.

Checked libraries are available to my active project, unchecked ones are not.  This is the list of libraries that are installed on my computer and therefore could be used if checked.
