Frame Generator Customization Tool

[Mike Y]

This tool works great. I am trying to figure out best way to make new families available to all networked Inventor users. Basically, two questions:
1. Where should I save the ipt's that I created for each of the new family shapes? Is this required, or is the definition saved as a creation instruction macro, like other generated parts?
2. Sould I save the xml file that was created using the Content Editor, and if so, where? (I think it ends up being appended to the "Mother" FG xml file, but I could be wrong)
I realize I may have some mistaken notions about how all this works, so please fiorgive any mistakes. Hopefully you will be able to disabuse me of them.
Using Inv 2008/Vault 2008. We all share one Master Project File (Master Project.ipj) with actual jobs segregated into individual folders under the "Master" workspace.
Thank you

I have the same question , but in a simpler way, I need to edit the ISO family on the frame generator , there is the 80 x 40 x 2 mm family I need to add the size of 70 x 30 x 2.3 how can i do it ?

I would not get too deep in to the customization for Inventor 2008. They found a bug with it and pulled it from Labs. Be careful and/or wait for 2009.

BUG??? how dangerous is this bug??
The only thing i need is to edit the square shape of my content center, ive tryed to copy it to another lybrary so it would be safe to edit , but the copy option is disabled , i tryed several ways to overcome it , but nothing seems to works, does any one knows how to do it?

Here is a tutorial I wrote for my class.
Once you have the profile in FG you don't need the part.

I would not use the Labs FG for anything you intend to migrate into v2009.

They also re-listed the FG with the updated code. Feel free to use the newer version for use into 2009.
