Missing fasteners in Autodesk Showcase when importing from Inventor

Q. You notice that fasteners are missing when importing an Inventor assembly into Showcase.

A. Ensure that the content center location in the project settings is set to a sub-folder of the     workspace. Fasteners should then come through to the Showcase model.
