gbradley Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Back in Mechanical Desktop if you wanted to add a Screw to an assembly you could pick "3D Content" "Fasteners" and "Screws..." and select whatever type of screw that you wanted from the Library. It created a Model without the external threads, but everything else looked great. Is there a way to do this with Inventor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkFlayler Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Yes, you need to load the Content Center. It has to be selected during installation. If it is loaded you would go to the Place Component flyout and choose Place from Content Center instead. Keep in mind these files are stored in a separate directory and will not place themselves into your local workspace unless you choose the Custom option.
