Unavailable Project Location(s) Error

[Bill.Schmid]

OK, searched here.  Searched wiki.  Nothing.

We're attempting to adopt Vault Pro 2013.  Used autoloader to put close to 1,000 Inventor files into Vault.  They all went in with no errors to a folder under "Designs"

We had Vault set the Client Working Folder to be the same for everyone - C:\Vault 2013\  The project name that Vault created is Designs.ipj.

Every time I check an Inventor file out and open it in Inventor, I get an error:

Unavailable project location(s)

The following locations in your project are currently unavailable.

If you continue opening the file, you may experience significantly

slower performance than normal.

LibraryC:\Vault 2013\Libraries

Press OK to continue with the open.

Press Cancel to abort the open.

What is it trying to tell me and how do I fix it?

i think its looking for that folder

try creating it in your local workspace folder

Awesome!  I finally checked something out of Vault and opened it without an error message!  Seems to me that Vault should have created the directory.  Although it didn't put anything in it, so I guess there was no need.  Of course that makes me wonder why Inventor threw an error.

Thanks for the link, too.

Bill can explain what did you do to fix the issue. I am having the same issue. Thanks

You can get the same error message if you have a too long Full File name in your folder.

Check that, rename / deplace File or folder, and retry !

Do you know what the character limit is for this?

Thanks,

Same problem here...

it looks as if it will alarm out on any project file in the list regardless if it is active.

Full Filename limit is 254 characters, when file is in the local workspace. If not far from this limit, it could be a problem too when managed by Job pro in temporary folder.
