Copy Assistant<\/h2>\n

If you don’t use Autodesk\u00ae Vault\u00ae or Gain Collaboration or any similar programs then this tool might help you to manage your documents.<\/p>\n

Many Autodesk\u00ae Inventor\u00ae users (like me) have a problem with copying inventor files (Parts and Assemblies) (.ipt & .iam) and their drawings (.idw or .dwg).<\/p>\n

Copy Assistant<\/strong><\/a> Will help you overcome this Problem.
\nThe program is set by default to copy the active Document, but the user can select another Document.
\nOnly one Document can be copied at once.<\/p>\n

To get the best use of the program, please make sure that the drawing Document is in the same folder as the Referenced Document (.ipt or .iam)<\/p>\n

If you are using .dwg or .idw format files for your drawings, don’t worry the App can copy it too!<\/p>\n

It also helps you when replacing components in an Assembly.<\/p>\n

General Usage Instructions<\/h1>\n
\n

Copy Assistant<\/strong><\/em><\/a> is set by default to copy the active Document, but the user can select another Document to be copied.<\/p>\n

Please only select one Document to be copied !<\/p>\n

Once the document is selected, the user can choose between copying the document to the same path as the source Document or a different Path.<\/p>\n

For Example:
\nI want to copy this document ( C: Temp\/MECH INVENTOR.ipt ), by default the program sets the path for the new document to be (C: Temp\/).
\nIf the user unchecked the Check Box (Copy to the same path as the Source file<\/strong>), then the user must select a path for the New Document.<\/p>\n

last Step:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

You can tell the program to copy the drawing or not and this is done by checking the check box (Copy Drawing<\/strong>)<\/p>\n

The program searches the same folder of the source document for a drawing with the format .idw or .dwg<\/strong> once found, it will be copied.
\nif no Drawing is found in the Path, you will get a message and can choose to continue or abort.<\/p>\n

Replacing a component in .iam files<\/strong><\/em>
\nIt also helps you when replacing a component in an Assembly.<\/p>\n

You can replace any component and its drawing inside the assembly with a copy.<\/p>\n

You can choose to replace all or only one Component.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
