Autodesk Inventor 11

Understanding Inventor Content Center DynamicsThe Autodesk Data Management Server manages Content Center libraries forAutodesk Inventor and Vault databases for Autodesk Vault and Productstream.

Content Center libraries require the Autodesk Data Management Server.

Before installing Autodesk Inventor and the Content Center libraries, determine the

installation scenario best suited for your company. Consider whether installing

Content Center libraries and the Autodesk Data Management Server on a centralserver is a solution for your company's needs. Content Center libraries installed on a

central server can be shared with users using Autodesk Inventor 11 on their localmachine. This is especially useful if you work on projects requiring you to create

custom libraries. It minimizes space requirements on the local computers.

Autodesk Data Management Server requires Microsoft Internet Information Services

(IIS) for anything more than a single-user installation.

Before the server is installed, a check is performed to verify the presence of IIS. If

you are installing the libraries locally, the Autodesk Web Server is installed if IIS isnot available or installed.

Installing the server and client components for a design teamWorkflow overview:

Step 1. Install the Content Center libraries and the Autodesk Data ManagementServer on a central server.

Step 2. Install Autodesk Inventor 11 on the local computers.Step 3. Configure a shared project (.ipj) file for each of the local computers.Step 4. Create Content Center Editor user accounts in Autodesk Vault Manager for

those requiring editing permissions. Communicate user accountinformation and the Login procedure to each member in the team.

Step 1Install Content Center libraries and the Autodesk Data Management Server on ashared remote server:

1. Install the Web server, Internet Information Services (IIS), on the remote server.IIS must be installed on the computer before you install Autodesk DataManagement Server. For installation details, see theAutodesk Data ManagementServer Implementation Guide.

2. During installation, in the Autodesk Inventor and Data Management Solutionsdialog box, clear the check box, I would like to install Autodesk Vault on this

machine. Typically, you install Autodesk Vault on the local (client) computers.

3. In the Describe your working environment dialog, selectthe check box for Iwant to make this computer my ADMS server.

4. In the Customize your install dialog, cancel the selection of Autodesk Inventor ifyou do not plan to use Autodesk Inventor on this system.

5. In the Ready to Install Application dialog, click Next to install the applications youselected.

Step 2

Install the Client components and configure the local computers to access thelibraries on the shared remote server.

1. To use Autodesk Vault to manage your CAD data, during installation, in theAutodesk Inventor and Data Management Solutions dialog, select the check boxfor I would like to install Autodesk Vault on this machine.

2. In the Describe your working environment dialog, select the check box for Iwork as a part of a multi-user team.

In response to I need to be able to use Inventor while disconnected from my

companys network. ADMS and Content Center libraries will also be installed onthis computer:

Select the check box if the user must access the Content Center librarieswhen not connected to the company's server. Autodesk Web Service (if IIS isnot on your local drive) are installed so that the user can continue to access

the Content Center libraries when not connected to the companys server.

Content Center libraries are also installed on the users computer if youchoose this option.

NOTE: It is recommended that you work as a Read-Only Content Center user whenyou are not working in your multi-user environment, and you are disconnected fromthe company's network.

In Autodesk Inventor, log into the Autodesk Data Management Server aslocalhost for the server, so that you can continue to access Content Centerdata.

Leave the check box cleared if the user is working in a shared environmentaccessing the Content Center libraries from a central server, and does notneed to access the Content Center libraries when not connected to the

Company's server.

3. In the Ready to Install Application dialog, click Next to Install Autodesk Inventor11.

Step 3Configure the local computers:

1. Start Autodesk Inventor on each of the local computers.2. Log into the Autodesk Data Management Server: File > Data Management Server

> Log In.

a. User name: Enter the user name for an administrator account (the defaultadministrator account is Administrator).

b. Password: Enter the password (by default, no password is required).

c. Server: Enter the name of the computer on which the Autodesk DataManagement Server is installed.

For example:

MyRemoteServerOR

The IP address (for example: 141.111.111.111)OR

The full computer name for your network domain (for example, pc-name.xyz.autodesk.com).

Database: Enter the name of a Vault database located on the specifiedserver. The default is Vault.

3. In the Project dialog box, click Folder Options. Specify a path to the root folderfor the Content Center library files used by the current project for Content Center

files in the Project dialog box. Content Center library files are copied to thislocation when you access and edit a standard part. Specify the path to the

network location on each of the local machines if you want each user toautomatically get the most recent library content.

4. Click Save.Step 4Create accounts for Content Center Editors and Administrators.

In Autodesk Vault Manager, create user accounts for anyone requiring editingpermissions.

Communicate user account information and the Log In procedure to eachmember in the team.

Working as a single user

A single user can install and run Content Center and the libraries on the sameworkstation.

To install Content Center and all the libraries on the same workstation1. During installation, in the Autodesk Inventor and Data Management Solutions

dialog, select the check box, I would like to install Autodesk Vault on this

machine, if you plan to use Autodesk Vault to manage your CAD data.

2. In the Describe your working environment dialog, select the check box for Iwork as a stand-alone user.

3. In the Ready to Install Application dialog, click Next to Install Autodesk Inventor11, Autodesk Data Management Server, and the Content Center libraries on your

local system.

Note: Whenever you ugrade from a previous version of Autodesk Vault Data Management Serverto a new server build:1. Make a backup of your data, using Autodesk Vault Manager.2. Remove any Standard Content Libraries Using Autodesk Vault Manager.3. Remove Autodesk Data Management Server 5.04. Remove "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Data Management Server 5.0" folder if it exists.5. Remove "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Autodesk\VaultServer"folder.To remove all remnants of the Autodesk Vault Data Management Server, do the following:

1. Remove Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine (AUTODESKVAULT).2. Remove "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL$AUTODESKVAULT" folder.System requirementsApproximately 1.3GB of hard drive space is required when the installation is

completed.

An additional 1GB of temp space is required for installation or maintenanceoperations on the database.

For sites where every user has exactly the same configurationThis applies to all license types.

1. On the Autodesk Inventor installation CD-ROM, select Network Deployment andproceed with installation.

2. You can build a deployment image that: Installs silently on any system.

o All options are preset during the process of creating the

deployment image.

o The user cannot change the configuration.

Installs in non-silentmode.

o The defaults for each option are set to what is selected during

the construction of the deployment image.

This image is suitable for push-installs to client workstations.
