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)
Installs with Autodesk Inventor from the Autodesk Inventor media.
Requires no additional software.
A complete solution designed for stand-alone users who do not work in a shared environment.
Installs Content Center libraries directly on your local computer.
Install missing Content Center libraries
If you forgot to install DIN libraries during your original configuration:
Directly from your installation media, copy the relevant IDZ file to the Content Center library location on your PC. The IDZ
file is an archived (zipped) IDCL file.
Autodesk Vault Server (Content Center libraries for a shared network environment)
Installs from the Autodesk Vault 2013 (Server) media, separate from the installation of Autodesk Inventor.
Designed for users who run Autodesk Inventor 2013 on their local computers and work in a shared environment.
Minimizes space requirements on the local computer.
Provides the means to manage user accounts.
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
