BOM Context Menu for Vault functions

BOM Context Menu for Vault functions

In an Inventor assembly Bill of Materials dialog, we have a very limited right click context menu.

It would be extremely useful to have the Vault suite of commands available, so you could right click a component in the BOM and Check out/in for example.

Currently there is no easy way to simply select a part, find it in the browser and check it out when you're working in the BOM table.

I'd back this one ... also the ability to update Vault properties from the BOM as well

Hi Neil,

 

Just a question within the BOM table, what is your expectation of checking out an Assembly compared to a Part file? My assumption to your request;

  • Behaves no different from existing Vault checking out/in of an Assembly file (i.e. if checking out an assembly file from the BOM, it will also highlight the option to check out its child/reference files)
  • Behaves no different from existing Vault checking out/in of an iAssembly compared to a iPart file

In your opinion, would those assumptions be valid?

 

Regards,

Paul

Awesome.  Sorry @PualQuek I don't remember ever getting a notification for your post, just seen it now for the first time.
