Custom file templates are reset to default

[Anonymous]

Using Inventor 2013 (2014, same behavior), I've customized our part, assembly and drawing templates with the original names (i.e. Standard.ipt, ...) and put them in a network shared folder.

I've created an Application Options file to use the same options and placed it also in a network shared folder.

As soon as I "Import" this Application Options file, the shared templates are reset to the Autodesk Standard Templates (Standard.ipt = 05/03/2012), in the shared folder.

A solution could have been to use custom names, but the users cannot use the scroll list when creating a new file. This scroll list searches for "Standard" named files only. And the standard files will reappear too, which will be confusing !

Have a solution ?

What scroll list are you talking about?

This is a know issue, and yes, you just have to use a custom named file ie; Standard [COMPANY NAME].ipt AND/OR put them in a sub-folder of actual templates to use.

The scroll list I was speaking about is the one under the arrow near the NEW button in the Quick Access Toolbar.

Thank you Justin, for having confirmed what I was afraid of : "known problem" !
