I was having a hard time finding a way to insert the Vault Revision Table in the Inventor drawing template. This was because I set up a separate single user project to handle the drawing templates. If you are using the same configuration, you'll notice that there is no option to add a Vault Revision Table to the template. So do the following:
Now upon creating a new drawing in a Vaulted project, you will have a Vault Revision Table already there for you!
Actually an Inventor revision table should work just as well. Vault controls the column mapping and data population but the underlying mechanism is still Inventor's.
Oh, okay. Didn't know that, and didn't try it. I assumed that Vault Revision Table was different than just revision table. Afterall, there are two buttons. I also assumed the table had special property mappings.
Speaking of which, it would be nice to reference the Revision (Vault Property) elsewhere in the drawing (such as the title block) without having to map the Vault property to the Inventor Rev Number property. Since the only direction of this mapping is from Vault to Inventor, you must synchronize properties in Vault. Something I wish I could automate. Or better yet, just directly map to the vault Revision property in the drawing template.
Thanks for the feedback though!
