Is it possible for you to post an image of the property definition dialog
for the Part Number property. Just to get an idea of your setup for that
property? Also when you open the file in Inventor and look at its properties
you are still seeing a value in Part Number? I assume when you mention
checking the file out and checking it back in are you using the Inventor
add-in or Vault Explorer? Finally, are you using IIS (multiple users) or
AWS(single user vault)?

Thanks,
Craig

Same problem here; we did a migration from Inventor Suite 2009 to Inventor 2010 Suite including Vault on our workstations. We are running ADMS on a dedicated server (Small Business Server 2003) which has also been migrated from 2009 to 2010. After checking out a drawing, changing the drawing a little and checking it back in, all drawing properties were gone. After checking the drawing out again, to check whether the properties are still present in the iProperties, we discovered they were still present. Checking it back in again didn't help. Checking the settings of Vault (manage properties) showed that the settings didn't change after the migration. The desired properties remain "In Use" as they were initially. A 'rebuild indexes' on the server didn't help also. This is quite frustrating because our colleagues use the search capabilities of the vault to find projects with specific properties. Please, help is greatly appreciated.

Something to try is to register the ifilter on the machine running ADMS.

Register DWGFilt.dll (ACAD) or INVFilter.dll (Inventor)
• The file is located at ‘C:\Program Files (x86)\Autodesk\Data Management
Server\Server\Components’
NOTE: depending on your release version this path will change so don't
copy this directly, use the path on your machine.
• Open a command prompt
• Enter CD C:\Program Files (x86)\Autodesk\Data Management
Server\Server\Components
NOTE: depending on your release version this path will change so don't
copy this directly, use the path on your machine.
• Enter regsvr32 dwgfilt.dll
• Confirm that you see this dialog attached.

Hello Craig,

I presume I have to register invfilter.dll when using Inventor? I tried your method registering invfilter.dll, but with no success; properties are still blank. After that I tried it with the dwgfilt.dll, also with no success.

For clarity: location of ADMS 2010 on the server is:
c:\program files\autodesk\adms 2010\

Well I hate to say this but have you contacted your reseller or vault
product support? If registering the ifilters doesn't help then you may need
some additional trouble shooting from them. I will ask around and if I come
up with some more ideas I will post them for you.

The 'problem' is that we don't have a support contract at our reseller. This is because we don't experience problems with the software that can't be solved by our personnel. But I thought that this discussion forum was for anyone who uses Autodesk Software with or without support contract. We chose to have no support contract, just because of the knowledge shared in this forum. Edited by: MiechH on Oct 20, 2009 3:25 PM

We just migrated from 2009 to 2010. After I migrated the Vault, but before I migrated all of the IV files, I set a bunch of Vault properties to not-in-use and re-indexed the database. I was surprised to find that Vault blanked the properties of the un-migrated files, even those properties that were still in use. Once I migrated the files from IV 2009 to IV 2010, the properties were restored.

My guess is that Vault 2010 does not know how to understand IV 2009 files without IV 2009 installed on the client workstation.

you are not alone, same problem here since upgrade to Vault 2010.

Since Vault 2010:
- properties are not filled in
- copy DWF to second location failed
- error 1013 when we try do a search
- ...

and this is just the learning from the first day after the upgrade, I hope this list will not grow bigger 😞

Hi,

Same problem, but just with AutoCAD DWG files.

Have you tested the permissions for SQL and Filestores folders??

Thanks
