DescriptionTerm
Named subfolders of project folders (includ-
ing libraries) that are frequently accessed.
frequently used subfolders
Folders are not used to resolve references
or store references. They are listed on file
access dialogs so that you can easily locate
the folders. The path to frequently used
subfolders always begins with the name of
the project location.
Libraries are project locations containing
read-only files that are referenced, but not
libraries
edited. Within a project, each library must
have a unique name. Within a library, give
each file a unique name.
Project settings that define such things as
the number of old file versions to keep and
options
whether unique file names are being used.
Release ID (such as a project version) and
Owner (such as who controls the released
project) are intended for use with released
projects.
An XML file with an .ipj extension that de-
fines the folders that contain the files and
project
folders of external data that the project
files reference.
When you place an Autodesk
®
Mechanical
Desktop
®
part as a component in an assem-
proxy file
bly, Autodesk Inventor creates a proxy file
that contains links to the Mechanical
Desktop file and the translated data. Typi-
cally, the original Mechanical Desktop file
is stored in a library and the translated
proxy files are stored in a proxy library. The
proxy library has the same name as the
Mechanical Desktop library except that it
is preceded by an underscore (_) character.
