Content Center Libraries Content Center libraries contain data required to create part files for Content Center library parts. The data are: ■ Parametric .ipt files which provide models for Content Center library parts. ■ Family tables which include values of part parameters. ■ Descriptions for parts including family properties such as family name, description, standard, and standard organization. ■ Preview pictures displayed in the Content Center. Parametric .ipt files, description texts, and preview pictures are common for all members of one family. Sets of parameter values specify particular family members. A set of standard Content Center libraries can be installed with Autodesk Inventor. Standard libraries are read-only and cannot be edited directly.

Content Center Libraries
Content Center libraries contain data required to create part files for Content
Center library parts. The data are:
■
Parametric
.ipt
files which provide models for Content Center library parts.
■
Family tables which include values of part parameters.
■
Descriptions for parts including family properties such as family name,
description, standard, and standard organization.
■
Preview pictures displayed in the Content Center.
Parametric
.ipt
files, description texts, and preview pictures are common for
all members of one family. Sets of parameter values specify particular family
members.
A set of standard Content Center libraries can be installed with Autodesk
Inventor. Standard libraries are read-only and cannot be edited directly. You
must copy parts to the read/write library first.
Use the Content Center Editor to build user libraries and to modify or expand
standard content delivered with the Autodesk Inventor installation.

Features
The building blocks of a part model are called features. There are four basic
types of Features:
■
Sketched Features that require a sketch.
■
Placed Features that modify existing geometry. For example, a hole is a
placed feature.
■
Work Features used for construction purposes.
■
iFeatures that represent common shapes and are saved in a reusable library.
An iFeature driven by a table can represent different shape configurations.
