Pack and Go API

Hi all,

 

I want to automate our Pack and Go procedure via a VB.NET app/Inventor add-in.

Currently we select an assembly file, go to File>Pack & Go, copy to a single path, find or create our location and that's it.

 

So, does the Vault pack and go feature have an API that I can access?

 

If not, are there any alternative ways to get the same result?

 

Thanks in advance,

Tom

If you are using Vault 2014, the AcquireFiles function has settings that allow you to download an assembly to a single folder.  If you are in Vault 2013 or earlier, you will need to figure out all the files related to the assembly and download them one by one.

Thanks for the reply and the links, they're very interesting.

 

We're on 2013 at the minute, so I think I'll have to gather all the related files and download them.

 

Just out of curiosity - does the AquireFiles function gather all the file relationships?

 

Thanks

Tom

Yes it can.  By default, it only downloads files you tell it to.  But there are settings that tell it to download related files as well.
