When publishing parts, iParts, or features, the Content Center automatically
points to the default root category where you must publish the part. Create
appropriate subcategories as needed, and then specify the family properties
and category parameters so the published parts or features can be queried at
a later time.
NOTE Do not change the default root category Autodesk Inventor matches in the
Content Center; otherwise, the publishing functionality is disabled for the category
that was changed to. To continue the publishing process, click to restore the
default category in the library tree.
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 Vault 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 Vault server 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.
