Hi!

I don't think so.

Hi @kresh.bell . I will say right away that I have never done this, but it seems possible, at least the API has the necessary functionality. I also found several examples of work in ContentCenter (link, link, link), but according to your request, I did not find it.

Below is an example of adding a column to your library:

Dim oInvApp As Inventor.Application = ThisApplication
oInvApp.ContentCenter.TreeViewTopNode.ChildNodes(9).ChildNodes(1).Families(1).TableColumns.Add(InternalName As String,
																								DisplayHeading As String,
																								DataType As ValueTypeEnum,
																								[Units] As Variant ,
																								[Expression] As Variant ,
																								[PropertySetId] As Variant ,
																								[PropertyIdentifier] As Variant )

I have exactly the same issue with creating new families in content centre. It would be great to be able to import an XML or csv file that contained the new column names etc. It's such a ball ache doing this manually over and over again.
