AutoCAD Inventor :: Vault Add-In Not Allowing Open (Check Out All)

Oct 24, 2012

Following a recent Inventor crash (another topic entirely), I re-started Inventor and logged in to Vault Workgroups, all with no problems. From the Ribbon Vault Tab I chose Open, browsed to and selected one of my I-Assemblies. I clicked the down arrow next to the Open button at the bottom right corner of the dialog box, and was surprised that the Open (Check Out All) option was grayed out. This has never been the case before now. I have checked with quite a few other Assembliles and I-Parts, all of which are currently in sync with the Vault, and none of them allow me the option of Open (Check Out All).

This has persisted for 2 days now, meaning I have shut my workstation down completely and re-started each morning. Is there some system setting or variable that needs adjustment? Is there some disconnect between the Inventor Vault add-in and Vault Workgroups itself that results in this option being disabled?

AutoCAD Inventor :: 2014 - DWG Will Not Check Into Vault

May 29, 2013

I am having issues getting my .dwg files to check back in to Vault Basic. I can get all different types of files (.iam .ipt .idw) to check in without issues, but .dwg files hang and Inventor will eventually lock up.

I've tried disabling Visualization and I still cannot make it past this point. I can even tell it to check in everything at once, and it will breeze through the other files but any .dwgs will hang.

Windows 7 Professional 64-bit

AutoCAD Inventor :: Files Won't Check-in To Vault

Jan 3, 2012

We are currently using Inventor 2010 Professional Suite. Most of the users here are working with AutoCAD Mechanical. For the most part, it does the job. The person that previously used Inventor has moved on to bigger and better opportunities. Recently a new person was hired to utilize the Inventor software for initial designs. The original software was loaded on a new machine and everything seemed to work fine. Inventor was able to checkout files from the vault and were able to be manipulated accordingly. The issues began when the individual started to check the files back into the vault. It would appear everything works fine but the files never appear in the vault. Even if we create a new directory and attempt to check them in, the new directory is created in the vault but the files will not check-in.

If we use AutoCAD Mechanical, the files will check-out and check-in fine using the addin tools. It would appear all the rights are setup correctly. We even changed the new user to administrator and it still did not work. No one else has Inventor installed, but I am about to install it on another machine this Thursday when IT is in.

We have attempted to even drag the files into the vault just to see if that would work, even though we know this method is usually not the best. Still no success.

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic - Check-in Drawing Into Vault

Jan 8, 2014

I'm wondering if it is possible to check-in drawing into vault using i-logic?

If you check-in a drawing into our vault, it automaticly exports a .dwf to a storage server. We also have a simple button for making .pdf of the drawing to sent to the customer.

What i want to ensure is that the .dwf file and the .pdf file are the same. So when i press "make a .pdf" the rule will save my document, make a .pdf and (if possible) check it into vault. So from that point the .pdf for the client and the .dwf on the server are the same.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Vault Check Out Window Behind Add-in Dialog

Sep 2, 2011

I have a Visual Basic.NET add-in that displays a dialog in Inventor. The code in this dialog opens some parts in the background. This has always worked fine, but now I'm working with Vault and when the files are not checked out Inventor displays a small window and asks the question if you want to check out the file. The problem is that this small windows stays behind my add-in dialog. Is it possible to show the check out windows on top of my add-in dialog? I tried form.show and form.showdialog, but this doesn't seem to make any difference.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Vault 2013 Check In Error

AutoCAD Inventor :: Vault Check-In Breaks Preview

Oct 26, 2013

I use something like the code shown below as part of an Inventor add-in that automatically checks in modified parts and drawings.  Everything works perfectly except for one problem.  After a file is checked in using this process, the Vault Preview is unavailable.  The message in the Preview window says "Unable to view the file selected.  Click the 'Open' button to view with an external viewer."
 
Dim byteArray() As Byte = IO.File.ReadAllBytes(fullFileName)Dim fileBom As Autodesk.Connectivity.WebServices.BOM = serviceManager.DocumentService.GetBOMByFileId(vaultFile.Id)serviceManager.DocumentService.CheckinFile(vaultFile.MasterId, Environment.UserName, False, IO.File.GetLastWriteTime(fullFileName), associations, fileBom, False, vaultFile.Name, vaultFile.FileClass, false, byteArray) 

What needs to change so that the Vault Previews will be maintained?  This is with Inventor/Vault 2012, but a solution using a more recent version would also be great.

AutoCAD Inventor :: User Cannot Open / Place From Vault?

I know this has to do with the users network profile because it is only happening to a few people. I just upgraded all of our workstations to New Win7 boxes running IV2012 products. Everybody is working well except a couple of people.

if I open a drawing with DocumentManager.Open("drawing.dwg", false) and it is already open (or the user has no rights to write to it), the drawing is opened in READONLY mode without warning.

Is there way to check if DocumentManager.Open("drawing.dwg", false) will open the drawing normal or READONLY?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Style Update (or Style Update Check) Upon Open Of A Drawing?

Nov 21, 2013

I am wondering if it is possible to do a style update (or style update check) upon open of a drawing? 

The example would be that I have stuff made from way back that the colors/dimension sytles ect dont match the current standard and upon opening a file where they are not current, it would either prompt to update immediatly OR update automatically with no prompting (preferred method).

I am doing a massive amount of updates from old files recently and to save myself 1 - 3 clicks per drawing would be wonderful.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Can't Log Into Vault

Mar 11, 2010

When I get latest versions of files from Vault Explorer and then open them in Inventor, the vault status of the files in the Inventor browser shows a triangle with an exclaimation mark inside of it. When I move my mouse over the status icon, it says "vault not open". There is no response when I try to log into the Vault within Inventor.

I upgraded from 2009 to 2010 Inventor and Vault two weeks ago. Everything worked fine until today. Vault Explorer seems to be working fine. The ADMS console seems to also be working fine. I can do all the routine tasks in both programs. The problem is only in Inventor.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Changes Not Being Checked Into Vault

Aug 17, 2012

We have a user that has been experiencing problems when checking files into vault.  The problem occurs when he copies a design (the drawing and part file) in vault then checks out the files to make changes, saves it and checks it back in, Inventor doesn't check in the changes.  The preview window (i.e.. dwf that's generated on check in) is correct however the thumbnail is wrong and when you open the latest version none of the changes have been made.

This is taking up a lot of time because he has to make the changes twice and also has to be constantly looking back in vault to files he has just checked in to make sure they are correct.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Add Raw Material To IPT - BOM / Vault

Oct 26, 2011

We are a mid sized company the builds our parts from raw materials. Steel Coils, Steel tubing, Steel plate, etc.

We are have been migrating from MDT to Inventor over the last few years. We are now trying to implement Vault and integrate that data into our ERP system. We would like to model a part and assembly and check that into Vault then pass the BOM into our ERP system.

It all sounds good up until I looked at how our part files were structured. There is not BOM in an ipt that I have found phantom or referential. Here is my problem

It takes 1 lb of a .0625" thich steel sheet that is 6.5" wide. We stamp our product in a 200 ton press producing a finish componet.Problem 1- Part1.ipt (model of my stamping) does not have a lower level it is a component in Inventor there is no BOM that I have found.Problem 2 - Part2.iam uses part1ipt but we punch a hole in it and push material outward to create a lip so we can lap weld the next part.When I try to extrude this feature I can only cut the part I cannot add material or deform it in any way.Problem 3 - We also manufacture bent tubes. We consume 1.5 ft of part C to make part D. I cannot insert 1.5ft of a part that is 20ft long as we buy it. then we bend it. I cannot insert a 1.5ft part into an assembly and then bend it.

Major problem - even though I can change the dwg file or idw file to add a parts list Vault does not put this information in the Item master BOM.

AutoCAD Inventor :: IAssemblies In Vault

Sep 3, 2008

We have a product line that relies heavily on iAssemblies. The main assembly and several layers of subassemblies are all iAssemblies. All the children that needed to be generated so far were added to the vault.

If I activate a different member in the main assembly factory, Inventor wants to update some of the various children. For some reason, vault won't prompt me to check out the children. I get a variety of errors, unless I manually check out the children.

There are at least 20 iAssemblies involved at different levels of this thing, not to mention all the iParts thrown in as well.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Search Through Vault Folder?

Apr 11, 2013

I'm using the free Vault that doesn't have a batch print option so I've been writing some code that does the trick.

The code lists open drawings, assemblies and parts, and depending onwhich is selected, displays a list of all the drawings associated with the file and it's sub-components.

Everything is good except that when the list of drawings is populated I am only able to search through the working folder for drawings. This means that if the drawing has been modified by another, or the drawing has not been opened on the local computer, it will not print (or print the old version).

Is there a way to pull the latest files from vault into the working folder automatically? Currently the only way this is possible is by selecting "Get/Checkout" in vault and downloading the files.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Vault - Copy Design

Aug 29, 2012

I am making a copy design of a big file, two things I need to change manually which takes lots of time:

I need to change the status of files from Reuse to Copy, also I need to change the paths to the right ones as the paths that kick in by default when I change the main directory on the top are not right.

Is there a quick way of changing status of all the files to Copy, kinda shift and highlight or the way Vault renames files with Replace option? With big assemblies connected with 10 drawing files doing it all by hand.

AutoCAD Inventor :: File Management And Vault

Dec 10, 2013

I started using inventor when he started the job.  I have been using Inventor for about 3 years now.  My question is that I have always practiced good file management at every level of a project from single parts to large assemblies; however at this new job the file management is horrible, in the last 3 years the company has been through 13 different drafters, thus each drafter was saving files in different location and names making finding parts and assemblies a nightmare.

The problem I am having is that the lead designer is insisting that we implement vault, and that it will solve our problems, However I feel that we needed to develop a universal file and naming convention first, get  our file hierarchy in order before we try and implement vault. There will only be 2 of us accessing the cad files and I don't think that vault would even be a good fit for our work flow.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Migrate Files From Vault

Nov 23, 2011

We 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.
