iParts are Inventor parts (ipt) files which are actually part factories or
foundries. They use tabular data to create different configurations of parts.
To use them, place the "factory" file in a directory which is accessible to
Inventor via a named directory in your project file(s). A good choice would be to
create a directory and place all foundry parts in that directory then place the directory
in your Project path. To insert into an assembly, use Place Component and pick the
factory part. Inventor will recognize the part as being a factory part and present
you with dialogs to select the appropriate member. After placement, you can select
the part's table in the browser and change members thereby replacing the part in the
assembly while maintaining the existing constraints.

Parts marked with the DNA symbol have the end of part marker
moved to the top of the browser. Before using, move the end of part marker to the
bottom and save. After you have saved, Compact the file. Compacting makes the file
smaller and may resolve some issues with reading the table. The reason we move the end of
part marker is to make the files smaller. This makes it faster to download. Do
not un suppress any features in the iParts posted on this site. The feature
suppression is handled by the iParts table. |
