Currently when creating a new Inventor file using Vault Data Standard tools, the Part Number property does not get populated with the file name of the new file. The expectation is to have behavior similar to Inventor's when the iProperty "Part Number" is left blank, Inventor populates it with the file name. At a minimum, an option switch is needed similar to the Rename Tool: or the Copy Design Tool: If Vault can do this with its other tools, then expectation from the user’s perspective is that this should also be available with VDS when creating new files. With out this functionality, the New File tool in VDS is inefficient and requires extra work from the user (and potentially more error possibilities.) It is possible to manually populate the Part Number property when creating the file if you are manually naming the files. However, this is not possible when using the Vault's Automatic Numbering tools with Sequential fields as the values are not visible until the file is created. Once the file is created, the user must then either edit the Part Number property in Vault, or Checkout the file and edit it thru Inventor.
