What is the Content Center?

Installation of Inventor Content Center

Before you install, determine whether Desktop Content or Autodesk Vault Server best suits your needs.

Install Desktop Content (Content Center libraries for a single computer)
Install missing Content Center libraries

Autodesk Vault Server (Content Center libraries for a shared network environment)

NoteYou can use desktop content libraries from a network share. However, you cannot install desktop content to a network share from the install media. To achieve this network configuration, first install the Desktop content locally and then copy the content to a shared network location. In Application Options, Content Center tab Access Options, change the location of the libraries to the location that you copied the library files (.idcl) to.
ImportantThis type of shared environment does not provide the security control that is available from managing the libraries on the Vault server.
NoteYou can use Inventor 2012 and 2011 Content Center libraries in Inventor 2013 only after you migrate them. For more details, see Configuring Autodesk Inventor 2013 located on the Installation Help page on the Autodesk Inventor media
