Edit Factory asset variants

00:04

In Inventor Factory Design, if a user asset has been published with variants,

00:09

a number icon appears in the upper left corner of the asset in the Asset Browser to indicate the number of variations.

00:18

The easiest way to change an asset variant is within the layout,

00:23

but you can also use the Factory Properties browser.

00:27

Begin with factory assets already placed onto an Inventor Factory layout.

00:32

In this example, the TD_Arm Welding Clamp 48 asset has variants.

00:39

To change the variant, first, select TD_Arm Welding Clamp 48.

00:45

Then, right click the asset and select Factory > Asset Variant.

00:52

Choose a variation from the flyout.

00:54

By default, variations have names such as Variant_1 and Variant_2, but they can be renamed.

01:03

Here, select Double.

01:06

The double variant clamp appears in the layout.

01:09

You can also change an asset variant from within the Factory Properties browser.

01:15

With the asset selected on the layout, in the Factory Properties browser,

01:20

expand the Selected Variant drop-down and choose Single.

01:26

Then, in the Factory Properties toolbar, click Update.

01:30

When you are done making changes, Save the layout.
