Often one of the hardest tasks for CAD or Engineering Managers is to disseminate information to their Inventor users. Your company may have an engineering intranet page that contains standards and technical data. You may want to broadcast a website that contains Inventor tutorials to keep your designers on the cutting edge.
The Inventor 2014 application contains a command called Team Web which allows you to attach any website or HTML file you desire to it for easy access directly from the application. It is located on the Get Started Tab on the Launch panel.
If you use Inventor 2014 from the Factory Design Suite, you will only see the command if you have a file open. You can add the command to any tab as a User Command as shown below.
You assign the website, that will be loaded from the Team Web command, in the Application Options dialog box. Select Tools, Application Options, Files and you will see the Team Web URL or HTML file entry point.
That is all there is to it. You could at this point Export your Inventor Application Options and send it to the engineering group and then they could Import them. This may not be a good idea since you will overwrite each user's personal Inventor settings. It probably would be a better idea to send an email with the link to all users and have them add the link for themselves. It normally only has to be done once.
