How to Material Library, create and add materials | Autodesk Inventor

[@flypic1098]

Hi Neil. I thanked you 3 years ago for this. I'm thanking you again now. Every time I watch it it gets clearer and refreshes what I've forgotten. It's update our templates & styles time again. Thank you very much for your help. Jim

[@flypic1098]

Hi Neil, Yet again you come to my rescue. We are just updating from Inventor & Vault 2012 to 2016 Somehow I got to volunteer for the job of seeing it through. I did what I thought was right to migrate our company Templates & Styles. I lost all of the stuff we had added to it ! ! ! Watched this and the water became less murky. I have brought the materials through and any I miss I can get later. Your style and clarity of instruction are superb. I will now have to dry less tears. :) Thanks again. Jim

Great tutorial Neil. This is helpful even after so many year.

[@TimS404]

Great job. Good refresher course. As I do not mess with the material library very often

[@marknorman4389]

Thanks again for helping me sort something that's been pissing me off for years!!

Thank you very much for this video. The usability of the material library is indeed very poor and i have been so frustrated with it's functionality. This video was a great help for me. I recommend that you consider breaking the information in future videos into sections with each section covering a more specific subject, provide a list of the subjects covered and provide a timestamp link to each section in the description. This way the viewer will know more specifically what subjects you're covering in each video and they can quickly look at the overview of subjects to see if the information that they're looking is covered in the video. For instance, if i only need information on how to create materials. Or how to change the units within a material file.

aside of inventor , whats your main character class in world of warcraft ???

[@emersonX1]

Thank you! You did a great job explain the dumb quirks and I've got a much better grasp of what I'm doing now. I appreciate the UK idioms, as well. Kumquat!

[@Neil3D]

Emerson Goncus Haha thanks, I need to use Kumquat more in conversations with people. It's a tremendous word.

Can we add additional material to the library? I am trying to figure out the mass of closed cell sponge foam for a part that I have and I can't find the sponge material on the library. Please kindly reply. Thank you

[@MischiefPuck]

I genuinely do want to see a video on importing new and custom textures.

[@eduardolourenco9092]

i added a material to the library but when i go to the content center to change a fitting into that material through material guide it simply doesnt show up... am i missing some step on publishing materials into content center?

[@patriciaoneill6790]

Thanks so much,great help.Would like to see info on creating textures of importing images.I am tryng to create large scale knitted texture to a coffee table design,

[@Neil3D]

Patricia O'neill Does this one not help? kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGXXgXdsqb6EmdE Obviously it isn't the same type of image you're wanting to import but the principals might be the same?

[@frankluce6776]

Great video, most of it works with 2019, music was great!!

[@dhavalchauhan9797]

When we select material its come out in Document material & same place we can change physical properties of material for particular document. How to make read only in document material?

[@thanhdatnguyen6935]

Can we add more than one material in a part file?

[@monsterjesse]

i really appreciate the customization features, but wow its a really involved process.

[@raydavis2904]

This is a great tutorial. However, one on how to use the appearance libraries or editor doesn't exist because all I can find are honorable mentions. Maybe it's because it would take over 30 mins to cover it in depth.

[@davidsejbysabol5963]

I have one QUESTION for you :) If I have one computer with one license and two users and the administrator has it own appearance library, how can I make it avaliable (or copy) for another user?

[@doancongnguyen4448]

there have nothings in my inventor' library after i installed Inventor version 2014.so do i install it again? please tell me if you have better way. thanks

[@puneetbharti1083]

Thanks neil Please make more detailed videos like these..

[@Neil3D]

You're welcome and I made many many many more of these over 8-9 years

[@stephenm6334]

How can I make set material (sheet) sizes for nesting? Does anyone know?

[@CandiiBanks]

Bloody legend, thank you so much, love your vids, the music was weird as shit at first but it kinda grew on me! Looking forward to watch more :)

How do you feel about helping me setup a material library in inventor 2010?

[@Dub100552]

Like your videos and teaching methods...Thanks

[@gagfam2780]

Firstly I'm sorry for my bad English language if you don’t understand for what I’m asking about maybe you can respond and I will explain again. Thank you for the video furthermore I already made a new material properties I liked to say "SS400" (Japan standard code material) because I want to run analysis using frame analysis to have a result more precisely and so I found a problem, when i go to design > insert frame the family of the material and also size are the default option of the insert frame the only different on material option there where I found my new properties ss400. My question is, if I select ss400 on material and I insert the frame using closely material profile what I want let’s say on family > JIS G 3193 - Hot rolled H-Beam and size > 200 x 200 is it the result are the same like the default property JIS G 3193 or my new properties ss400? If there are same result so there is no effect if we use the properties of new material on the insert frame. Next step I haven’t try because I don’t know how to design the profile frame from the plate, need your guidance for this. Thank you. Regards, AR

Andrew Renno still waiting you respond. Regards, Andrew Renno

[@Neil3D]

Andrew Renno This isn't my full time job so I don't have much time outside of my day job to work on all questions unfortunately, I try to answer quick ones if I can. I'm also in the middle of moving house too so I don't even have much time at the moment to create new videos! If I'm reading your question right, you're asking if you use a custom material during the insert frame does it use the properties of your material? Yes it should... as long as you have published your material to the style library with the correct properties and have then used that material when placing the frame, I see no reason why it won't correctly use your material. It should use your properties yes.

[@gagfam2780]

Thank you very much for your answer, sorry for bothering your time also sorry to push you to answer my questions. Ok hopefully your moving finish well.

[@Neil3D]

Andrew Renno It's fine :) Thank you for watching my videos! I do get a lot of questions and I wish I could answer them all, the best place for a very quick answer is the official Autodesk Inventor discussion area forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-general-discussion/bd-p/78 there are a lot of experts on that site who answer questions very very quickly!

[@dimanmgtu]

Best video! Thank you!

[@RAGHUNAIR25]

Thanks. Nice presentation..useful

[@ngautam9400]

Thanks alot sir...........

[@RayneDr0ps]

Great video.. Very helpful! You gained a new sub!

[@Cornel1001]

And still is producing chaos! Inventor programmers just do not want to introduce EN standard ! Adding a new material is just insane time consuming...

[@sidrockzzful]

The background music put me to sleep!

[@paulvanwyk6924]

Thanks for the content, but please leave Jesus out of it

[@elieldenisovas7827]
