My company is unable to host Content Center or Vault on a server yet, so I had to work out a method for sharing Content Center parts across multiple work stations. It's rather involved, but thought I would post it here for anybody facing the same issue.
On The Sending Computer:<br>
In ADMS Console, create a new library called Temp Sharing.<br>
Close ADMS Console and launch Inventor.<br>
In Inventor, open File/Projects/Configure Content Center Libraries and add the Temp Sharing library to the list. Save all changes.<br>
In Inventor, open Content Center Editor and copy the part family you wish to use as a starting point to the Temp Sharing library.<br>
Edit the part family in the Temp Sharing library as required and save all changes.<br>
Close Inventor and launch ADMS Console.<br>
Export the Temp Sharing library to flash drive.<br>
On The Receiving Computer<br>
Open ADMS Console and import the Temp Sharing Library.<br>
Close ADMS Console and launch Inventor.<br>
In Inventor, go to File/Projects/Configure Content Center Libraries to add the Temp Sharing library to the current project. Save all changes.<br>
Open Content Center Editor, view the Temp Sharing library and copy the new parts to your existing library.<br>
Close Content Center Editor and go back to File/Projects/Configure Content Center Libraries to remove the Temp Sharing library from the list. Save all changes and close Inventor.<br>
Open ADMS Console and delete the Temp Sharing library.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps anybody stuck in the same boat as me!
