Autodesk Vault Customization

[#1]

Hello to all

Our aim is to link a document to an article and vice versa.

In this special case we’ll like to create a new article with information based on a document and link both together.

in the PDF file you will find a description of our approach and the different states as screenshots. It seems to exist a problem in the method PromoteFiles when we try to link items to subassembly of an assembly. In some cases we get an Promoteresult with empty FileAssocArray, ItemAssocArray and ItemBomOccArray.

Hope you can help.

For complicated issues like this, I recommend using the Autodesk Developer Network for support if you have a membership.

Here are some things to look at:

• I'm assuming that these files were added through the Inventor plug-in, right?  Were there any modifications made to these Vault files prior to calling PromoteFiles?
• If you run the "Assign Item" command on these files in the same order, what is the result?  "Assign Item" is basically the UI command for PromoteFiles().
• In your code, you should check the StatusArray values on the ItemsAndFiles return object.  Promote can create new items, update existing items, or do nothing if the items already exist.  The status tells you what happend for each of the items in ItemRevArray.
