Set Up the Library and Subcategories
You cannot add a new library to the Content Center while you are in the
process of publishing. Use the Autodesk data management server and Configure
Content Center Libraries tool to create and attach the library to the Content
Center beforehand.
In addition, you cannot create new categories in the Content Center while in
the process of publishing. Use the Content Center Editor tool to set up the
categories beforehand.
To publish authored parts in the exercise that follows, you first set up the
library. You use the default category to publish at a later time.
Set up a new library
1 Log in to the ADMS Console.
2 Expand the appropriate server.
3 Right-click Libraries and select Create Library. Create a new library named
CustomLibrary. Click OK.
By default, the new library is attached to the server and you have the
read/write permission.
4 Exit the console.
5 Ensure that the Internet Information Server (IIS) is started. Otherwise,
libraries on the server cannot be accessed. This is not required for
standalone installations.
6 Start Autodesk Inventor Tube & Pipe.
7 Click File ➤ Projects.
The Open dialog box displays the project configuration information.
8 On the Project pane, ensure that the Tube & Pipe Tutorial Files project
is active and use the Configure Content Center Libraries tool ➤ Add
Library tool to attach CustomLibrary to the Content Center.
For detailed instructions, see
Setting Up Projects For Exercises on page
10 in Chapter 1.
9 Save the changes for the project and close the Open dialog box.
10 On the Tools menu, click the Content Center Editor tool and update the
