Search for Library and Non Library Files
Autodesk Inventor searches for referenced files in library locations in the order
listed in the Project Editor and then the workspace.
If a referenced file is contained in multiple project locations, the reference
uses the relative path from the first one found, and stores the path in the
reference. If the project location is a library, the name of the library is also
stored in the reference.
If the referenced file is not found in a project location, the relative path from
the referencing file is used in the reference.
If the referenced file is also not located in the folder or a subfolder of the
referencing file, the absolute path is stored.
A message warns you if the file is not in a location specified in the project.
Confirm its location each time you open the referencing file until you relocate
the file in the project location.
Autodesk Inventor uses a different search procedure for resolving library and
non library references.
Search for Library References
Library references use the following rules:
■ A reference to a file in a library location includes the library name in the
reference.
■ If a reference includes a library name,Autodesk Inventor searches only in
that library location for the file.
■ If the source file is in a library, the referenced file is presumed to be in the
same library unless the reference identifies a different library.
NOTE Avoid using duplicate file names, even for files in different directories. Set
the project option Using Unique File Names to Yes. The Resolve Link dialog box
opens only if the file cannot be located in any project location.
If no library location is defined in the project,Autodesk Inventor searches for
the referenced file relative to the source file.
