Configuring the Autodesk Inventor project file to use Content Center

When the Autodesk Inventor project file, the Meridian vault, and your local workspace have been configured correctly, all Content Center placements and references will automatically use the specified folder in either the central Meridian vault or your Local Workspace.

To configure Content Center for use with Meridian:

1. Create a folder in the Meridian vault specifically for storing the Autodesk Inventor Content Center components, for example, Inventor Library Components.
2. In Windows Explorer, navigate to your local workspace folder (C:\BC-Workspace is the default location).
3. Open the subfolder with your user name (for example, C:\BC-Workspace\Joe Engineer).
4. Open the sub-folder with the name of the server and vault name (for example, C:\BC-Workspace\Joe Engineer\MeridianServer,D-EngVault).
5. In this folder, create a subfolder with the same name as the folder created in the vault for Content Center storage (for example, C:\BC-Workspace\Joe Engineer\MeridianServer,D-EngVault\Inventor Library Components).
6. Open the common project file for editing.
7. Expand the Folder Options section.
8. Edit the Content Center Files option and select the folder that you created in your local workspace in step 5.
9. Save the changes to the project file. The path will appear truncated because the local workspace location where you created the folder refers to the vault (for example, .\Standards\Inventor Library Components).
10. Synchronize your Local Workspace.

Note    After making the common project file the default, all other Autodesk Inventor users of this configuration must synchronize their local workspace once to create the local folder.
