You need to add it to your Projects File by selecting the "Check-Mark". This will allow you to use the new Library, you may want to de-select the old Library.

There is a small icon on the tool bar to "refresh" CC items. This forces Inventor to update all CC items with the current Family Table Properties.

Hi Sandro,
Based on the information you provide so far, it is unclear to me what kind of failure you are encountering in BOM and what you are trying to achieve. Do you mind sharing the simple failure example with me? I would like to understand it better and see where the problem is.
Many thanks!

CC items always point back to the Family Table that was used to create them. You would need to create a new CC Library by either copying and existing CC library that's Read Only into your new Read/Write Library or create a new one from scratch
Then edit that Family Table to get the information/properties as you want it. Then add this Library to your Project File for use. Any items created from this new Library will be "Linked" back to this particular Family. Any changes to your Family Table will be pushed through to the CC items within the model when the Update CC items is selected.

If the CC items have been created as CC and not Custom (radio button selected) when they are created, I've never seen where the link can be broken. You can't change existing CC items.

We have a bolt "Library" and the same bolts get used over and over as long as they are the same size. We have a few Project Files,
1.) Our own product
2.) Custom work for Customers
3.) Our Internal Jigs/Fixtures.
The #2 Custom Work Project uses our Own Product as a Read Only Library, this allows us to use our stock components and restricts any modifications to these items.

I don't have the same 1/2 x 3 UNC Gr 8 bolt residing in 3 or 4 different work folders. It resides in only one Library Folder and other Project Files point to that folder.
The BOM or Parts List doesn't care which folder the part resides in, as long as the Project File includes that Library in it's path.
Any items that come from supplies are stored in their own Library Folder that is "Read Only". We do have a "special" Project File that is used to work with the Library Folders should items change slightly from the supplier.
