Issue

You have created custom libraries for Inventor 2008 or 2009 or 2010.

Those libraries reside on the Vault Server, but you want to use them as Desktop Content.

Solution

In Inventor 2010 you can import those libraries from the Vault Server 2008, 2009 and 2009 and use them as Desktop content.

The libraries need to reside in the partition corresponding to the version of the server you connect to in order to import the libraries.

This means that if you connect Inventor to a Vault Server 2010, in order to import a custom library for Inventor 2009 that resides in that Vault Server 2010 but in the Autodesk Inventor 2009 partition, you need to copy first the library in the Autodesk Inventor 2010 partition, as shown in the video below.
