Cannot edit library part properties through Data card in Inventor 2018

Hi,

 

I used to edit library part properties through Data card in Inventor 2017 or previous versions, now with Inventor 2018 the same operation doesn't work; it says something like: "It's not possible to save the property value into the file". 

 

Is it a bug? I hope so.

 

I make these videos to show the issue:

Inventor 2017 + Vault 2018: it works. 
Inventor 2018 + Vault 2018: it doesn't work.

In 2018 some of your permission settings may have changed.  Check the permissions on your library folders and make sure you still have "modify" permissions.  I don't use 2018 or I would post a video for you.

 

In 2017 I would right click on the folder in Project Explorer and select Details to see the Security settings.  I assume it is the same in 2018.

Hi @cbenner,

 

the two videos show that the same Vault (2018) and the same library folder have different behaviour depending on Inventor version I'm working with.

 

In Inventor 2017 I can edit library part properties, in Inventor 2018 I can't.

I'm the administrator of the Vault so I think it's not a matter of permission.

 

Anyone experiencing the same problem with Inventor 2018?

My apologies, I misread your original post.  I must need more coffee.
