How to Copy & Update Assemblies in Autodesk Inventor
When working on a project in Autodesk Inventor, you build up package assemblies that represent the objects used in each piece of work. You may find that you want to use an assembly in another project and so it is necessary to copy the assembly into the new project. If you do this through Windows Explorer then it will not properly update into the new project. In this instance you have to use the Autodesk tool Pack and Go. Pack and Go allows you to properly transfer your packages, either to new projects or to back them up for future usage.
