I am trying to use Task Scheduler to migrate all my .ipt files from 2010 to 2011. When I do it however it gives me the error , "cannot create Task" in a little pop up message box. It does this will types of task , i.e. I can not create any tasks ever.

what is the benefit of using Task Scheduler to migrate all of my Inventor files to the latest versions?
I've upgraded several times, but I've never done a full file migration.
I want to save a bunch of inventor 2009 idw's to AutoCad dwg's
I realize there are add-ins available for doing this, however i wanted to see how Task Scheduler performed this. I chose a export files task then selected the idw's to save as dwg's
This all went well until i looked at the result.
two things the dwg is saved as filename.idw.dwg I do not want or need the .idw in the new file name, but can find no setting to remove this.
The dwg's are saved to a zip file. Again i neither need or want these in a zip file I just want them save in the same folder as the idw.
I need to export my IDW drawings to DXF.
As long there are lot of files I wish the Task Scheduler will do that job.
It actually does but only with "File" option. I mean I cannot take a whole Folder
since there is no DXF option and should click each file and set the DXF there.
The second big problem it returns zipped DXF files, I cannot get rid of that.
We are trying to get task scheduler to automatically download certain files from the Vault. Templates and Styles. The templates work great, but there is no way to specify any filetypes other than Inventor filetypes. Am I missing something? Is there a way to specify non-inventor filetypes?

I´m having a problem with the Inventor 2012 Task Scheduler. I´ve done a couple of migration tasks over the last 2 months, actually quite some big tasks on our Vault Server.
Now I´m getting no more access to the application, it´s either showing a message that the server is busy and not responding or the application starts up and sits for a minute in the task bar and then opens up but still I can´t click any menus or create a report to control the tasks I've done earlier.
But I need to check the last couple of tasks to see which files have been successfully migrated and which are not. I know that I can view the logfiles manually but that still leaves me with no more tasks that I need to run to fix our database and Inventor files.
Let the application run with administrator rights doesn't work either. What else could be done to get the task scheduler back up running?
My task scheduler crashes as soon as I dbl click on it, does not even go to main window. Is there a way to only reinstall this part of INV Suite.

I want to automate the check in of design files to Vault on each PC, prior to running workspace sync (Vault) which does have command line support.
I know you can schedule tasks within the Inventor Task scheduler, but has task scheduled the Inventor Task Scheduler? I suppose in theory you could schedule the launch of Inventor Task scheduler via the Windows one? or is there any need? If the Inventor Task scheduler isn't running, but a task has been scheduled, will it execute the program itself?
I am batch publishing .idw files to .dwf and the default file name that it creates is XXXXX.idw.dxf. how to remove the .idw? Is there is setting in Task Scheduler that can be changed?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I am in the Autodesk 2013 Task Scheduler and I click on the log file path to view the log file..... I get the log file, but it also opens the "View Downloads" window.. which I dont want.
It just started this in 2013 and it does it on every computer that I have tried it on.
Is there a way to make it not open the "View Downloads" when I view the log file?
It has done this a few times on me with different files. I am trying to migrate our library of parts. It will get to 76% complete and locks up. showing no memory in use and not building any memory in the task manger process. I set the options to skip unresolved and to not purge old versions. I have to kill the process and then stop the task to close it. I am having more trouble with 2013 in the first couple months than I did with all of 2012. too late to turn back now.

I am using task scheduler to import about 20 Step files. I have feature recognition installed which of is a bit of a problem with Task Scheduler. Besides uninstalling, is there a way to suppress the dialog box that comes up on import of a step file.
I do not really want to watch my 20 step files being imported.
I just created and ran a migrate task using the Autodesk Task Scheduler. I selected several folders and migrated the files from Vault. When the task completed, there were several files that failed. The majority of them had "---Failed at Child" in the log.
Just to see what the problem was, I did a get latest on several of these that failed and then opened them in Inventor. They all opened just fine without any errors at all.
I am also seeing some entries like "xyz.ipt in 12345.iam -- File does not exist. When I opened the iam after the task was complete, there was no errors and it found the xyz.ipt file.
Question is, why does the task scheduler report these in the log, when there is nothing wrong with the files?
I have installed Inventor 2013 on a machine just so that I can use this machine to migrate my files using the Autodesk Task Scheduler. I started the TS, then Create Task>Migrate Files task. I selected my "Vault" project and get a message that says "Vault Projects not supported".
I noticed that in the Migrate Files dialog, there is not a box at the top that says "Migrate from Vault".
This is installed on "Windows Server Standard x64" OS.
I tried a repair install and Reinstall on the Inventor 2013 installation. Problem still persists.
I'd like to be able to queue up a set of processes using Inventor's task scheduler. Ideally I'd be able to queue it, leave, and have it done in the morning.
The process is this:
1. Check Inventor dwg files out from vault
2. migrate files to 2013
3. Run drawing resource transfer wizard
4. Check files back in
5. Export all files to AutoCAD dwg format
How can I queue step 3 to run through task scheduler? DRTW is not an option in the task scheduler. I'll be giving it the same settings to use every time.

I am looking to batch convert my IDWs to AutoCad DWGs without having to go through and manually open each file and save as etc. Right now I am using the export files task to do this. I have saved an *.ini file with all the settings I want and successfully create the task. After running the task it fails to convert all the files giving me an error message that says "File has unresolved references". This shouldn't be the case though because the IDW's open and reference the part/assembly files fine.

I have set up one computer to run the Task Scheduler to get the latest versions of my Library files (this is done with mutliple tasks thoughout the day). Is there a way to copy the scheduled tasked set up on this computer to other computers without manually setting up each machine.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to batch print a series of Inventor dwg's (2012) thru task scheduler.
However, if I try to select any files that have a "-" in the filename it get teh following error: "....... The above filename is invalid."
Filename example: XXXXXX-XXXX.dwg
I have tried files without the "-" and they appear to work just fine from the same folder.
Is Task Scheduler limited on characters? If so what are the limitations on filenames that Task Scheduler will work?

I tried to use 2012 task scheduler to migrate files, got an error message saying it won't support vault project file. I used vault project file for version 2010.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe are trying to migrate our 2010 and earlier inventor files that exists in our vault 2012 professional fully replicated environment to The latest inventor release.
We are trying to utilize the task scheduler. but when attempting to use the "Migrate Files from Vault" and select the option to add folders. we receive several pop ups, one after another. The header states "folder" and in the message box is simply "1000" then an "ok" button.
After clicking ok a half dozen times the dialog finally comes up to select the folder, but the entire vault is not available in the selection window. I have tried this on several machines and 2 different databases. Same result.
I need to migrate approx 80 idw files along with the models referenced by these idw files from Inventor 2013 to Inventor 2014. I need to do this mainly because I need to update the title blocks in the idw files and the idw files need to be at 2014 level for the 2014 version of the Drawing Resource Transfer Wizard to function. Is there a method to batch migrate the idw files to Inventor 2014 level or do I have open and save them one at a time?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI created a task to import (convert) a specified folder of MDT files using a specified ini file to ignore the layout drawings (tests resulted in near-useless idws with most missing drawing views - mainly due to our ignorance in creating MDT drawings). I specified a subfolder as the destination for the converted ipt files. After the task runs, the ipt files appear in the main folder (where I did not want them), while the destination folder has files with the names of <original part number>.dwg.ipt. The ipt and dwg.ipt files appear identical and have the same feature tree.
A typical entry in the Import.txt file is:
22926.dwg Get Translator Success ...InventorConvert MDT Files
dwg 22926.dwg Open Success ...InventorConvert MDT Files
dwg 22926.dwg Import Success ...InventorConvert MDT FilesInventor parts converted from MDT files22926.dwg.ipt
dwg 22926.dwg Close Success ...InventorConvert MDT Files
So I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. It appears to be mainly working, but it will require cutting/pasting/deleting I wasn't expecting. The main goal here is to create ipt files that our CAM system can (we hope) work directly with, as they dumped the MDT translators a while back.

I need to migrate 5000+ SW drawings files. Some have broken model references. I was hoping to use task scheduler but it produces empty DWG for any SW drawing that has a broken reference.
Now there is a feature in SW called QuickView that opens in the last saved state but doing so only allows to save to TIF.
I'm having a problem migrating a custom idw 2011 template to 2012. When I try to open the template I get the message that I need to open and then explicitly save, but I cannot open the file. I've checked the file locations in options and in the projects, and all is correct.

We have just migrated from Inventor 2009 to Inventor 2013 - I was thinking to migrate the old IV 2009 materials and colors to a new library. The migration dialog box in IV 2013 requires XML files while the export from IV 2009 generates STYXML files.
