RMB Open Drawing from Vault

RMB Open Drawing from Vault

While working in a Vault project the ability to right click on the model tree and "Open Drawing" only looks for the drawing file in the local Vault directory. If I have not yet opened the drawing and checked it out the file will not be found.

 

This is a common workflow for me when making updates and revising parts. I will open a top level assembly and drill down to specific parts that will need changes. Then I can make my model changes and simply RMB and "Open Drawing" to revise the drawing.

 

Also when using this workflow you recieve the message warning that the local data is NEWER than the data in Vault, would you like to overwrite? Using the default selection will download the Vault drawing copy and overwrite all of the changes you made to the part file. This doesn't make any sense to me!

Is there any news on this subject?

The open drawing function under the RMB is very useful but unfortunately not functioning when the .idw is in the vault and not in your local workspace.

Still nothing? 

 

I thought vault was "fully integrated" this is a total bummer man.

 

The best thing i can think of wright now is 

 

Right click the model

    Vault

           Show details

                

If there is a drawing it pops up wright then and there.
