If you have any doubts on editing the project file or mapping the folder paths please see your Vault Administrator for assistances. Once finished it should look like Fig. Now you are ready to bring in MDT files to Inventor. We will outline the differences you will see if using a single folder and a dual folder configuration. With an assembly file open use the Place command and In the Place Component dialog box browse or use the short cuts to your MDT file folder.
This a dialog box that gives you an option to change the unit of measurement if you know it is different than the units the file was drawn in. It will give you also the option of changing the template use for Inventor if you suspect a different unit of measurement See Fig.
Inventor which has units of measurement. If satisfied you can select Ok. If everything is set up then you should now have a proxy file ipt of your MDT file in the assembly. These dialogs are asking for the library folder we set up earlier. If see any of the following please review Folder creation section and Project File edits. See Also: Customers are reporting success with activating and running these older versions on Windows 7 under XP Mode.
This is not tested by Autodesk. Products: Inventor Products; Mechanical Desktop;. The proxy file contains link information and specifies a template for the new component. The proxy file updates the assembly with edits made in the Mechanical Desktop when you open or save the assembly.
Because Mechanical Desktop files might contain more than one part, several Autodesk Inventor parts might be retrieved from one file. You specify a library search path for the folder where proxy files are stored.
Proxy files have an. However, you cannot open or edit a proxy file. Proxy files do not contain design data, so if a file is accidentally deleted, the assembly loses its link to the part file, but no data is lost.
A proxy file is updated automatically each time that you open or save the assembly file that references it. As with other files that you use in Autodesk Inventor, you can store the Mechanical Desktop files on your local computer or on a server.
The part files and the proxy files must reside in separate folders, and every folder that contains Mechanical Desktop parts must have a corresponding folder for proxy files. To optimize your configuration, consider the following suggestions when setting up your folders:. Specify the library search paths for both Mechanical Desktop part files and the corresponding proxy files in the active project before you add the parts to an assembly.
The library search paths for Mechanical Desktop part and proxy files are much like the paths that you set for any other library location.
Note: Migrate Mechanical Desktop files to the latest version before you translate it to Autodesk Inventor. When you open the file in the latest version of Mechanical Desktop available on the installation CD for Autodesk Inventor , the migration tool tells you of any data problems so they can be repaired before bringing the file into Autodesk Inventor. Sets library paths for the location of both the Mechanical Desktop files used as assembly components, and the proxy files that contain the linking data for each file.
If you did not add the file locations for the Mechanical Desktop files and the proxy files to the active project, this wizard runs when you try to place a Mechanical Desktop part. Tip: Add the file locations in the project before adding Mechanical Desktop components. If you do not specify the library locations for your Mechanical Desktop parts, Autodesk Inventor opens a wizard when you place the first Mechanical Desktop part in the assembly.
In an assembly file, click Assemble tab Component panel Place. If you did not add Mechanical Desktop file locations in Libraries, the path wizard runs automatically. Displays the path for the file you selected and notifies you that it is not specified in the project libraries. Location specifies the path to the Mechanical Desktop part files.
Enter the path or click Browse to navigate to the part files. Library path name assigns a name to the path. Enter a name or accept the default name.
