Visualization files (e.g. DWF) are treated like files that are not controlled by a lifecycle when cleaned up. I want the cleanup of these files to be based exclusively on the existing versions of the associated parent file. In practice, it can happen that there is no visualization file for the most recent version of a file. However, there is a visualization file for the second-to-last version. If the second-to-last version of this file is cleaned up, the associated version of the visualization file cannot be cleaned up because it is the current version. This means I have an orphaned visualization file that does not belong to any parent file. This also prevents the job processor from creating newer versions of this visualization file. In some cases, the most recent version of a visualization file must also be cleaned up, or the visualization file must be deleted completely if there is no longer any connection to it.     Visualisierungsdateien (z.B. DWF) werden beim Bereinigen wie Dateien behandelt, die nicht von einem Lebenszyklus gesteuert werden. Ich möchte, dass sich die Bereinigung dieser Dateien ausschließlich nach den vorhandenen Versionen der zugehörigen übergeordneten Datei richtet. In der Praxis kann es vorkommen, dass es zur letzten Version einer Datei keine Visualisierungsdatei gibt. Zur vorletzten Version gibt es aber eine Visualisierungsdatei. Wenn jetzt die vorletzte Version dieser Datei bereinigt wird, kann die zugehörige Version der Visualisierungsdatei nicht bereinigt werden, da es hier die aktuelle Version ist. Ich habe dadurch eine verwaiste Visualisierungsdatei, die zu keiner übergeordneten Datei gehört. Das verhindert dann auch, dass durch den Jobprozessor neuere Versionen dieser Visualisierungsdatei erzeugt werden können. Unter Umständen muss auch die neueste Version einer Visualisierungsdatei bereinigt werden oder diese Visualisierungsdatei muss komplett gelöscht werden, wenn es keinerlei Verbindung mehr gibt.

We have do export our dwg as an eTransmitt out of AutoCAD at the end f our projects. This are may fils and exports. It wozld be grate, if there is a job of the job-processor that can do this automaticaly. It schuld be possible to config the settings for the eTransmitt. It have to be possible to define the settings specicicaly for diffrent projects, may be by using the category of the file. Show More

According to this post: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/vault-forum/vault-does-not-generate-different-item-for-different-model/m-p/13832997#M51717   It would be great to let user change "freely" the part number associated to a model state without any workaround that will cause a tedious work by the user.   The suggested idea involves a management of a "link state" between the part number of the model state in the document and the already associated item.   By managing this state if the user change the part number of a specific model state (modelstateA) already associated to an item (itemA) and the new part number associated with the same model state (modelstateA) is linked to another item (itemB), then state link for between  modelstateA and item A is deactivated, while link between modelstateA and itemB is activated: primary file keeps for each,   This could be of great help.     Show More

Hello,    currently, it is not possible to check in the file directly into Vault when exporting RVT in Inventor. Workarounds must be created to check in the RVT into Vault afterwards. Therefore our customers would like to have a direct check in option to Vault when exporting RVT.   Thanks!   Hallo,   derzeit ist es nicht möglich, beim RVT Export im Inventor die Datei direkt in Vault einzuchecken.

This is a copy of an old (archived) Vault idea. We have several clients looking for this functionality, so that's why I decided to bring it back. https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/vault-ideas/data-standard-integration-for-microsoft-office-amp-vault-office/idc-p/13783393#M13501 Data Standard integration for Microsoft Office & Vault Office Thick Client I recently saw a demo of M-Files. I wanted to hate it, being a Vault proponent. But it's really good, they have nailed what data management for the end user should be like.    Data Standard goes some way towards improving that for CAD users, and frankly could be molded to very closely match the M-Files setup at the front end. But Vault is lacking some of the back end M-Files has, since it uses a different approach. Any way, what set it apart most clearly from Vault was a form based UI everytime an Office user created a new document. It asked a series of questions and requested input of values into properties before the user could start to build their new document.   There were two approaches; Create a new file using M-Files within Word, or Save a normal Word file to the M-FIles drive in My Computer.    Either way the M-Files form appears.    This is almost identical to the way Data Standard works in AutoCAD and Inventor. It would be really good to see this functionality extended into Office as part of Vault Office, Workgroup & Professional. Then non-CAD users can be sold Vault solutions instead of needing to purchase an additional SQL based document management system for the rest of the company.   Often management can relate to needing a document management system, but fail to understand or balk at the costs associated with getting one for their Design / Engineering departments. This type of functionality would be a door opener for increasing the number of companies moving from Vault Basic to WG / Pro or even buying it from the outset.     Show More

Users want a consistent presentation of information across Vault environments. Example: On the Vault Client, the information about "Has Model State" is displayed as an icon. = Good! On the Web Client, the information about "Has Model State" is displayed as the text "True / False." In addition, the column header in the web client is filled with the text "Has model state"; in the Vault Client, only an icon is displayed, which is completely sufficient from the user's point of view. Why are there these differences at UI and no standardization?        Show More

The duplicate search function is fantastic and it is fine if you have Inventor and can run it. Since the information is there and indexed, how hard would it be to add this on a tab along with where used/uses information on the Preview Pane? Or at least make it available so we can access it from the API.   By the nature of our bespoke machine design process we end up with a lot of physically duplicate parts. This is fine for our local in house manufacturing because our systems are automated to take care of this and it is more economic to not have to worry if a part will change when the parameter file or iLogic changes it, especially if the machine is in the early stages of development. Our European branch however outsources their manufacturing and we could save some costs by re-issuing a job with reference to the previous identical part. They will naturally want to automate this, but one step at a time.   We do have a standardization procedure and a different numbering scheme to easily identify them. Another feature that would benefit us would be adding the duplicate search to copy design. We could search on what we have set to copy in the assembly before we copy and be able to swap out parts rather than to copy them.  Show More

I work for a company that adds large volumes of drawings to Autodesk Vault. The Change Order Print Summary can not cope with large volumes of drawings it starts to cut information off the ends of the pages. To fix this you need to go into the settings and change the page size to A3 and zoom out to a readable size for each report to compile the correct information. The problems is it defaults back to the original setting after every Print and you have to go thought the same process again for every Print Report you create. There is to many buttons and options to open which takes a lot of time, if you have a large volume of Change orders to compile. I would like to see the default behavior changed, customized to individual users needs.  Show More

When I do a search in Vault sometime I get a result of hundreds or thousands files, I then have to keep hitting the More button I until Vault shows me all the files it found.   What I would love is a Show All button.  When I click on the this button, Vault will then display all the files it found.   I know that this can take some time for it to finish but it's better than me sitting there hit More over and over again.

The new trash bin looks good at first. But we really need an option to search for documents in there! Case 1: User A has deleted a file called “123.ipt” to the trash bin. User B tries to create a new file with the same name. And gets the message “File name already exists”. But User B has no chance to find the deleted file and gets stuck. Case 2: A file called “123.pdf” was deleted to the trash bin. Now a job is run that tries to create a new “123.pdf”. And gets stuck of course! We urgently need the possibility to search for files in the trash bin. For manual searches you could put in a check box right beside the “Search only last versions” option. But even more important is the possibility to search via API for all things scripting related. Show More

Hi,   In vault, I have noticed sometimes the settings are changes silently that impact other users. For examble, if the enfource unique files option in removed by other user who have access that's suppose to notify all users. Similarly, all the settings change for vault setting or global settings to be notified via email should be a great feature. I am using vault pro. 2025 FR. Glad to hear a solution in the patch updates shortly if possible!   Thanks, Mohamed Rafick S Show More

Please introduce an option for Vault administrators to define a date or age criteria for archiving, such as automatically archiving files older than 180 days. This would enable automated, age-based archival policies beyond just folder selection, and would greatly enhance the new folder-based archival workflow demonstrated at AU2025 Show More

Hello,   Sometimes files remain “checked out” by the job processor user when standard Autodesk jobs fail with an error message. This leads to a blocking situation for end users who do not have permission to undo the “check out” or remove the “reservation” for the file in question. End users cannot continue their daily work. Examples of standard Autodesk tasks where this problem occurs: autodesk.vault.syncproperties (Sync properties failed for the following files: *.dwg: Sync properties not allowed on non-tip versions) autodesk.vauklt.updaterevisionblock.*  ... It would be better to "rollback" the the check-out of the file in question in case of an error. Or at least have the choice between the 2 workflows. Show More
