11 Optionally, you can create subcategories to publish parts.
For detailed instructions, refer to the Autodesk Inventor Help Site Map,
Content Center section.
In the exercises that follow, you publish the authored parts to the default
category that the system automatically matches. You do not need to create
subcategories in this step.
Publish Authored Parts
When publishing authored parts, you must map the part parameters to the
category parameters. The information you provide to define the part sets the
structure for its location in Content Center, provides a base for the part file
name, and makes the part attributes available for future queries.
In the exercises that follow, you use the Publish Part tool to add authored
pipe, 45-degree elbow, and 90-degree elbow iParts to CustomLibrary that you
created in the previous exercise.
NOTE If you need to use published parts to define tube and pipe styles, you must
specify the Standards Organization and Standard family properties during
publishing. They are the key style criteria to filter out library parts on the Tube &
Pipe Styles dialog box.
