■ You cannot open or edit a proxy file.
■ iPart and iAssembly Factory proxy files are catalog elements from the
factory, published with a specified set of parameters.
■ Update proxy files by opening or saving the assembly that uses the
corresponding factory member file.
■ Do not make an iPart or iAssembly proxy library folder read-only, because
the factory has to create new members there.
Workflow overview: Set library locations for factories and proxy files
1 Verify that all Inventor files are closed.
2 In the project editor, double-click a project to activate it.
3 In the lower pane, right-click Libraries, and then click Add Path on the
menu. Add a new named path for the factory location.
4 Right-click the new library location, and then click Add Proxy Path on
the menu.
5 Continue to define library locations as needed, assigning a descriptive
name to each library.
Content Center Files
When you select a component from the Autodesk Inventor Content Center,
it is created from parameters stored in a Content Center library. If the file is
not a custom file, it will be saved in a folder specified in the Project Editor
Folder Options.
The Content Center library also generates custom parts that have a standard
cross section, such as structural steel shapes. You can create an infinite variety
of parts by specifying other parameters such as length. You need to specify
the file name and save location for all such parts. If you intend to make other
edits, such as insert bolt holes or other cutouts, place the custom files in a
subfolder of your workspace location.
