I search for a file in Vault 2014 and find it needs refreshing i.e. the double red arrows icon in "Vault Status" column. I hit the refresh button in the ribbon and the file still has the double red arrows icon and doesn't appear to refresh.
Inventor 2014?
I´m working on an addin that needs the vaultAddin ( Inventor Vault / InventorVault.dll ) to update it´s vaultinfo via API.
Since the vaultaddins browserpane.control is an activeX control I can´t access it, and the addin has not implemented a hook to the browserpane.refresh() or browserpane.update() ( causes a crash )
So how do I refresh the vaultAddins information on "what´s actually going on in the vault" through API ?
It seems like I "just" need a reference to the same eventhandler the "refresh vault status" button is calling, but that might be wishfull thinking..?

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.
I am using Inventor 2009 and have always been told not to check out files from the Vault directly. Rather to use Inventor when checking them in or out. What is the reason for this and has that changed with current versions?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe 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.

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?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhat would be the quickest way to rename files in Vault?
I have lets say 100 parts with prefix 1012.
I want to change to 1014.
I can hightlight all parts in Vault, go rename and then replace prefix manually for each part.
Seems hectic.Any quicker, more automatic way?
Adding prefix does not work since does not replaces but adds.
We are looking at using Autoloader to load inventor files to the vault. Problem is we do not use the default folder "Designs" in our Vault folder structure it is named differently.
So what happens is that Autoloader does not find the designs folder and creates one automatically, and files are uploaded to this folder which is exactly what we do not want.
I need to change the Autoloader settings to use the differently named folder not the designs folder..

I have a couple of .ipt files that are up near 60Mb. We have rearranges the folder structure in vault but these files can't be moved. It comes up with an error saying that access to the C:Temp .... folder is denied. I have full access to c: harddisk so it is something that Vault has created. It is only with large files.
Funny things is that when you try to move it (drag and drop) the file that is too large is checked out, without a version being transferred to the harddrive. So it finishes up with a check mark but no circle.

We do not use VAULT. We're using network shared folder with 3 machine.
In some cases three users opening same assembly and sub assemblies. In this case Inventor showing us an error like "You can not save file. Use save-as" But in this case it's impossible to work share files.
We're opening / using same project file (ipj). I remember that older versions of Inventor give us to chance that not save some subassemblies of main assembly. In this case you may save newer version of assembly files..
How can I share network folder to share my assembly files with the other colleagues?
Using Inventor 2013 and not Vault. Because we're using Linux file server .
I click the Inventor icon on the desktop to open Inventor, I click the Vault tab and then click "Go to Vault", the vault opens. I open a file to look/modify it. I then click another file to open it also and it opens in a new Inventor window. The same as windows explorer does when you open another web page and it opens in a new window instead of a new tab if you dont have the "Tabbed Browsing: set in options.

I have a folder that contains subfolders, then more subfolders. All these folders contain Inventor files. There are few different models there with drawings and related files...
I need to make an exact copy of the folder at different location in Vault. To use Copy Design tool, I would need to do it few times, as there are few totally separate files in the folders.
Now, is there a way of taking main folder with its all contants and just copying/renaming it to other location? It would save me lot of time.
see attached link for the explaination of what I am looking for.

I am trying to search for file in Vault from AutoCAD using Interop.
Is there any way to do so..?
My company is currently running AutoCAD 2012 and we have invested heavily in some custom DLL and ARX routines that really automate our design/engineering process. The problem is that these currently resolve on laptop computers and our executive managment doesn't feel that it is very secure.
Their suggestion is to run AutoCAD through a virtual machine, which none of us like, for many reasons.
One option we would like to explore is using Autodesk Vault to store our DLL and ARX files, and require Vault login in order to load/run these files.
is there way to refresh sheet of drawing when an iProperty is changed trough API? When I change for example revision Number, the sheet still show old number. The value is changed, because if I open the iProperty dialog, there is new value and also when iProperty dialog is close then the sheet (title block with this property) is immediately correctly updated. I know that I can use ActiveSheet.Update method, but this update whole sheet and it take long time. There nust be something better because dialog iProperty doesnot update whole sheet and it is vvery quick.
Dim oISI As Inventor.PropertySetDim oDrw As Inventor.DrawingDocumentSet oDrw = ThisApplication.ActiveDocumentSet oISI = oDrw.PropertySets.Item("Inventor Summary Information")oISI.Item("Revision Number").Value = "test"oDrw.ActiveSheet.Update ' I would like to replace this line, this take long time

Anyway, I just updated to the Factory Design Suite Advanced package for 2011 which, of course, includes Inventor. I have downloaded and installed all updates, service packs and hotfixes I could find btw. What happens is I'll be working in Inventor on a solid model of ANY size (even a single part) and with absolutely no warning, the display window will freeze up and won't refresh. What's really weird though is that Inventor itself is not locked up. I can click on any of the buttons or any of the items shown in the browser as though the program's running normally. I can check the task manager and it shows Inventor to be running normally. The memory status bar in Inventor shows lots of available memory. I can even hover over the display window in the area where the view steering wheel is located and the icon will change appearance as though it's working normally. I can even save the file. If I close the file, it responds like normal and goes back to the default screen. If I try to open ANY file after that, however, the screen will not refresh or show me the file I opened, even though everything else works fine and the program isn't frozen. The only way to restore full function is to completely close and reopen Inventor (on average I have to do this about once an hour). Btw, I'm also working in a local directory stored on my hard drive, not a network.
My first inkling is that it's a graphics issue but I have played with all the display settings to no avail. I ran a diagnostic on the video card and Inventor says that I'm running an Autodesk Certified driver. All the specs are within reason I think.

Dell Precision M4500 laptop
Intel core i7 processor, 2.67 GHz
4 GB RAM

I'm currently using Inventor Professional 2012, and have been experiencing problems with virtual memory usage. In past versions of Inventor, the small bar graph counter at the bottom right-hand corner of the screen (Virtual memory counter? Not sure what to call it...) would "re-fresh" after closing a model, drawing, etc. (i.e. Once closing the file, the counter would change from yellow to green, bringing the virtual memory usage back to zero). However, this isn't happening with 2012, and I'm not sure if the problem is the way Inventor was installed onto my workstation, or if it's a problem with the hardware. A temporary solution has been to shut down Inventor when the bar graph gets too far into the yellow range (or red), and then starting up Inventor again.
Specs for my workstation are as follows: Windows 7 (32-bit), processor is Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU W3503 @ 2.4GHz 2.39GHz, 3GB RAM.
I have some assemblies with standard components inserted from Content Center which I have published.
After some changes I do on some of them within CC, I can't refresh those that are already placed in assemblies. The window that displays the components out-of-date won't appear. Only the message precedes the appearance of this windows is shown and that's it, nothing happens.
For new Assembly I don't have this problem.
failure to refresh Model Tree after switching configurations - app restart required
We have a user who is getting this message several times per day and must restart his PC. He is the only user of the Inventor Vault product using 2013. We have redone his laptop and and given him a clean laptop with a fresh install of AutoCAD.
I'm creating a VB.exe (Visual Basic 2010 Express) tool that displays iProperties for Inventor using a running session of Inventor. How do I automatically refresh the display on the form when you switch the active inventor document tab within Inventor?

Is there some syntax that would refresh a previous rule before the next one starts? I have a file where the constraint is not turning on when it is supposed to, but all I have to do is refresh the rule and it works.

difference between the "Refresh File" and "Revert to Latest" commands in the Vault browser within Inventor 2013? We just started using the Vault Collaboration 2013 flavor of Vault.

in versions of inventor prior to 2013 we were able to quickly and easily refresh a part styles, and thereby obtain the master information for materials, colours and any other style.
i find that now, with the new system of managing materials and appearances that if i need to update a part to reflect the material assests that reside in my materials and appearance library that i have to:
1. open the part, then set the part material to a material other than that i wish to update, then
2. delete the local/ document asset of the material i wish to update, then,
3. assign the material from my material library to the part (to get the library assets to come through to the part).
it seems ridiculous that we have to delete local materials or colours prior to obtaining an updated material or appearance to get the new data into the part.
(the refresh styles command actually appears to be calling in the updates however the updates seem to treat the document assets as the most important. even when managing materials and appearances, the local/document asset seems to take priority over any library asset. again this is different to pre 2013, and is frustratingly slow to work around. all that used to happen in 2012 and prior is we would get a warning that the local style would be overwritten with updated style data = very quick and easy
I have created custom pipe fitting categories in my server based content center. I copied the standard familes over to a custom library and modified them. After updating the family tables, and hitting refresh in an assembly, the updates fail.
This is the error I get:
Failed: Standard is owned by Tube&Pipe. The part must be refreshed by Tube&Pipe application.
These parts were placed via "Place from content center" as I do not have the tube & pipe addin (2011 suite, not pro)
How do I get these compnonents to update / refresh??
When working in Inventor within a Vault environment, you have a check box on the "Check In" dialogue box for "Close files and delete working copies" that once selected, it stays selected until the user unchecks the box.
(see below)
Not so when working with AutoCAD....why?
Why is it that every time a user checks a file into Vault from ACAD, they have to check that box?
There has got to be a seting somewhere that this check box stays selected. Why isn't this a default? How to "lock" that down?
