Inserting Designs From ENOVIA in an Active Design

This task shows you how to insert designs from ENOVIA to a design that is the active open design in Inventor.

You can insert,

  • Part in Part.
  • Part in Assembly.
  • Assembly in Assembly.

You cannot insert,

  • Assembly in Part
  • Part in Part
  • Design in which you want to insert another design must be open and active in Inventor.

  1. Click ENOVIA > Insert from Inventor toolbar to open the ENOVIA Insert dialog box.

  2. Search for the design using Search option in ENOVIA Open dialog box. See Searching Designs.

    The search results are listed in ENOVIA Open dialog box.

  3. Click Insert or right-click the design and click Insert.

    The selected design is inserted to the design currently active in Inventor in the location (0,0,0).

    Important: The checkout directory must be the same directory set in project > workspace. If the design is checked out or inserted in some other directory which is not the same as workspace, then this directory is not added to the search group path and check out or insert fails. You must add the checkout directory in the workspace search path if the workspace directory is set to some directory. You can also choose not to set any workspace directory so that the location where the design being worked on is considered as the workspace.
