    Add title block to drawing resources folder

    Drawing Resources are on a per drawing level. There is NOT a global drawing resource folder by design. Now in order to alleviate your issue you can do one of a couple things... 1. Use the Drawing Resource Transfer Wizard in Inventor programs list and batch that TB into all of your files. 2...

    How to stop the dwf being created for the preview

    Well we have two guys in Toronto already. Very good as well, we are the largest Vault services company in Canada actually. What you may have run into is we do have specialties for Inventor training that may not be as abreast about Vault as our dedicated Data Management team. If you go to the...

    How to stop the dwf being created for the preview

    Sure do... http://www.imaginit.com/training/find-a-course-and-enroll/find-a-course Those are the standard course offerings but it sounds like a proper custom SOW and Discovery would be more beneficial to your company to see if you even need to use certain features of the software.

    How to stop the dwf being created for the preview

    Unfair advantages...I work for a Professional Services company that trains users how to use it in a normal work setting by use of training guides as a reference. Every client is different and while there are generally accepted practices, no two companies use it the same way, hence, no real hard...

    How to stop the dwf being created for the preview

    I would educate the company on the benefits of Undo Check Out then after reading that last statement. Undo Check Out will remove the temporary version in Vault, otherwise you will end up with about 137 Vaulted versions of someone checking something out and then just checking it back in when...

    Automatic Block/Tool Palette Updates

    I don't know a great way to do this in standard AutoCAD, but AutoCAD Electrical does all of this with the Update from Library option in the Swap/Update Block command.

    How to stop the dwf being created for the preview

    You can turn it off in the Check In dialog. There is a settings button and it remembers it from session to session. Vault training is available to non IT users by ways of standard course ware from ASCENT. Its called Autodesk Vault for Inventor Users and is NOT just for the IT based user. The...

    bmp image in Drawing Title Block

    What you should do is never link an image into the Titleblock. Either Embed it or draw it out (best) Delete it and when you go back an insert the image again, make sure you UNCHECK the LINK box during placement. That will embed the image into the titleblock. But like I said, if you can draw...

    Exporting a personal library (content center) to another computer (inventor 2011)

    I take it this is an IDCL library. Just copy and paste it from one machine to the other and make sure the project file has it checked. If this is a Vault library the other machine would see it automatically with the same project active and the same Vault enabled.

    Auto size for bolt by changing hole Dia.

    Did you turn on Autosolve instead of Manual with the Bolted Connection? I know that will automatically adjust length, but I don't recall if it will auto adjust bolt size.

    Helix Sweep Problem

    I was getting a weird output with your 3D sketched helix. A COIL command would suffice it just fine without the need for the additional sketch. From that I got it to work just fine.

    Extract Part Numbers from IAM ( assembly )

    Vault wouldn't cost anything as Inventor 2012 comes free with Vault anyway. If they needed Workgroup or Professional, then yes there is a cost. On another note, I have some spreadsheets that will extract Part Numbers from an entire folder of files by using the Apprentice server through Excel...

    Extract Part Numbers from IAM ( assembly )

    Why not use Vault? Its free and does exactly what you want and more like Copy Design and Version tracking.

    Inventor multi body parts

    Your default templates are Imperial. Either change your default templates (not the ones in the folder called Metric or English, but the ones in the folder above them). Or... You can change each template in the Make Components box to be a Metric IPT instead of a Standard template selection.

    Trying to make sure Inventor will meet my needs before purchase.

    Inventor does do this, in fact, if when you get Inventor in the Product Design Suite Premium there are even better tools that ship with it like Navisworks for flythrough and 3D Gantt charts with visual animations of timelines for the project. As well as other tools like ACAD Electrical and core...

    Your best bet is to use AutoCAD Electrical... Especially if you do cabinet and panel work.

    Types of certifications in Autodesk Inventor 2015??

    There is only one. It is offered by Autodesk and can be taken at just about any Certified training center. They range in cost when they are on sale between 50 bucks and 150. Just depends on if there is a certification event going on. As far as I know the Associate Exam is no longer an Exam...
