Custom Column Error in Content Center

[Anonymous]

I copied an existing family into my new read library. I added some rows to be able to generate a few variations that were not contained in the original family. I just copied exisitng row up several times and edited the information in those rows to yield desired new variations. I made sure the file name column contained a unique file name for these new members. When I go to publish I get this error message:

Defined file name does not include all custom columns. An identical file name can be generated for different members. Make sure that the file name is unique for any combination of custom column values to avoid placement failure

Missing Custom Columns:

Length

(see also attached screen shot)

 I have scoured the file name column and can find no repeated file names; I cannot understand the rest of the error message. It must have something to do with the "does not include all custom values" portion of the error message. Can anyone decipher this for us?

Thanks

I'm experiencing this in 2012.

I'm also having this problem. Did you find a solution?

What you have done I think is edited the individual cells in the file name column rather than editing the template which is accessed via the file naming button. Go through the cells deleting the static values and they will be replaced with the automatically generated values.

Not sure if you guys are having this issue in 'Family Table' anymore, but I have just experienced it within Inventor 2019 and noticed that there was no solution on this page. To resolve this, I modified the 'FileName' parameter. This field has to remain unique for each row as you are creating new parts with this file name data, so if you link a custom requirement such as a size or dimension to this field from one of your other columns, then it will prevent the error in future.

For the particular part I was having trouble with, I changed the 'FileName' column properties to equal the value in my 'Part Number' column, as I have length and width dimensions in this, and that will always remain unique for each part generated.   

See image attached.

Hope this helps! 🙂

Hi, I just experienced the same problem. I had to add pipe sizes. I just added the dimension values only in let's say column A - F, after that are the columns for Filenames etc. These columns actually derive their content from the previous columns. So then i added the content for these columns by constructing them with "Columns Properties". Now I got no errors.

Hope that helps
