Using inventor 2014 when checking into vault it returns the following error:
"The file: 'C:\Users|Public|Documents\Autodesk\Inventor2013\Textures\surfaces\Plastic_4.bmp is outside the defined search paths. You must either move the file into the defined search paths or add a new Library Search Path to continue.
I dont' understand why it isn't looking in the 2014 texture file to find this? I confirmed it exists.
I'm not even sure why it needs these files since none of them are used in the assembly that I am checking in.
Thank you.
Looks like you have data that is still in the 2013 directory and should be moved to your 2014 directory as it's defined in your Project File.
You should be able to just copy the files in the 2013 directory to the 2014 directory on your machine
It's not that the files don't exist, the error messeage simply states that they are outside of the scope of your Project File. You may want to either delete the 2013 directory after making sure that copies of the files reside in the 2014 directory.
The first time you load the part, it may return an error which will require you then point it to the 2014 directory.
I would load the model, either the IAM or IPT with the textures. Much better than loading the IDW
Im having the same problem. This is what appears:
I sthere away to view all textures with the full assembly without having to search through each part?
Or any other way to fix this.
Sorry to bring this one back up but I didn't see any resolution.
We are just now switching over to the Vault with IV 2016. Our content center uses parts we created in 2011. So we are having this issue any time a part is placed from our Content Center with a texture on it. They look fine, act fine, etc in the assembly because it is using our new file location for 2016, but as soon as we hit check in it tries to find the original texture in the 2011 folder which definitly no longer exists because all our computers have been replaced since then. So until we figure out how to batch fix this for 100,000 possible content center parts the vault is useless to us because we cannot check anything into it. There is not enough man power to save each part as custom, remap the texture, then replace the family. We're talking years and years of part creation for our own CC.
Chalk me up as another having this issue, only for us it was when we switched from 2015 to 2017.
Still no solution?
Has anyone tried to uninstall Inventor?
Then go to C:\Autodesk\PRDSU_2017_Enu_Win_64bit_dlm\Content\ADSKMaterials\<Version of Inventor> and browse to the ADSKMaterial folder, there will be a bunch of folders that have just two to three letters in them click on each one and install the .msi files inside those folders. This will reinstall the material files in case they were not correct before install.
Then reinstall Inventor.
