Resolving the Retrieval Failure

In this topic, you edit the project file to resolve the failure experienced when opening the mold assembly in the previous topic.

1. On the ribbon, click Get Started tab > Launch panel > Projects.
2. Ensure that the active project is still CoverMold.
3. Expand Folder Options at the bottom of the dialog box. Notice that this points to the default location for the Content Center. Because the files were generated on another system, they no longer exist in that directory. The path must be edited.
4. Select Content Center Files = [Default], right-click, and select Edit.
5. Click Browse .
6. In the install location for the tutorial files, select ...\Inventor [Version]\Tutorial Files\Mold\CoverMold\Libraries\Content Center Files.
7. Click OK.
8. It is important to ensure that the project files are accessing all the libraries required for the design. In the Projects dialog box, click Configure Content Center Libraries.
9. In the Configure Libraries dialog box, scroll to the Inventor Mold libraries in the list, and ensure that the In Use check box is enabled. Click OK.
   NoteIf you do not enable the required mold libraries, you can still open the mold assembly, but you cannnot add features that access the Mold Library.
10. Click Save and Done.
11. On the Launch panel, click Open.
12. Navigate to and select CoverMold.iam. This time, the mold assembly opens without any failures.
