VDS create folder tree from template 2021

Hello all,

I am still very new in customizing and just can't find the solution to my problem.
Currently I am trying to create a folder structure according to a template via VDS. Have already read some posts but it does not work yet.

My CreateFolder.ps1

$folderId=$vaultContext.CurrentSelectionSet[0].Id $vaultContext.ForceRefresh = $true $dialog = $dsCommands.GetCreateFolderDialog($folderId) #override the default dialog file assigned $xamlFile = New-Object CreateObject.WPF.XamlFile "ADSK.QS.Folder.xaml", "C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Vault 2021\Extensions\DataStandard\Vault.Custom\Configuration\ADSK.QS.Folder.xaml" $dialog.XamlFile = $xamlFile $result = $dialog.Execute() $dsDiag.Trace($result) if($result) { #new folder can be found in $dialog.CurrentFolder $folder = $vault.DocumentService.GetFolderById($folderId) $path=$folder.FullName+"/"+$dialog.CurrentFolder.Name #recursively add subfolders to new folders that are not base category folders $UIString = mGetUIStrings $NewFolder = $vault.DocumentService.GetFolderByPath($path) if($NewFolder.Cat.Catname -eq $UIString["CAT6"]) { #the new folder is the targetfolder to create subfolders, the source folder is the template to be used $TempFolderName = "$/00_Administration/00_ProjektStruktur/Kunde/Standort" + $NewFolder.Cat.Catname $tempFolder = $vault.DocumentService.GetFolderByPath($TempFolderName) If($tempFolder){ mRecursivelyCreateFolders -targetFolder $NewFolder -sourceFolder $tempFolder} } $selectionId = [Autodesk.Connectivity.Explorer.Extensibility.SelectionTypeId]::Folder $location = New-Object Autodesk.Connectivity.Explorer.Extensibility.LocationContext $selectionId, $path $vaultContext.GoToLocation = $location }

Library.ps1

function mRecursivelyCreateFolders($sourceFolder, $targetFolder) { If(-not $Global:FldPropDefs){ $Global:FldPropDefs = $vault.PropertyService.GetPropertyDefinitionsByEntityClassId("FLDR") $Global:FldPropDefIds = @() $Global:FldPropDefs| ForEach-Object { If($_.IsSys -eq $false) { $Global:FldPropDefIds += $_.Id } } } $sourceSubFolders = $vault.DocumentService.GetFoldersByParentId($sourceFolder.Id,$false) $mFldIdsArray = @() #collect the level's folder(s) Id(s) $propInstParamArrayArray = @() foreach ($folder in $sourceSubFolders) { $mSourceFldrProps = $vault.PropertyService.GetProperties("FLDR", @($folder.id) , $Global:FldPropDefIds) $mSourceUdpInstArray = @() $mSourceUdpInstArray += $mSourceFldrProps | Where-Object { $Global:FldPropDefIds -contains $_.PropDefId} $newTargetSubFolder = $vault.DocumentServiceExtensions.AddFolderWithCategory($folder.Name, $targetFolder.Id, $folder.IsLibrary, $folder.Cat.CatId) $mFldIdsArray += $newTargetSubFolder.Id $propInstParamArray = New-Object Autodesk.Connectivity.WebServices.PropInstParamArray #collect the folder's property instance arrays Foreach($Inst in $mSourceUdpInstArray) { $propInstParam = New-Object Autodesk.Connectivity.WebServices.PropInstParam $propInstParam.PropDefId = $Inst.PropDefId $propInstParam.Val = $Inst.Val $propInstParamArray.Items += $propInstParam } $propInstParamArrayArray += $propInstParamArray mrecursivelyCreateFolders -targetFolder $newTargetSubFolder -sourceFolder $folder #returning to the initial level we can update the level folder's properties } Try{ $vault.DocumentServiceExtensions.UpdateFolderProperties($mFldIdsArray, $propInstParamArrayArray) } catch {} } #end function mRecursivelyCreateFolders

In dataStandardVaultlob.txt I get an error.

2021-05-06 22:06:41,655 [1] ERROR CreateObject.WPF.DSNumSchemeCtrl - DSNumSchemeCtrl_ValueChanged:System.NullReferenceException: Der Objektverweis wurde nicht auf eine Objektinstanz festgelegt.

Can someone give me a hint what i am doing wrong?

Does the basic folder creation for a project category work? Does your Vault have a numbering scheme of the same name as the project category?

Hi Markus,

thanks for your reply and sorry for the late response.

I was able to solve my problem myself in the meantime. I have searched for the category on the wrong level.

CreateFolder.ps1

if($NewFolder.Cat.Catname -eq $UIString["CAT6"])#Category Project { #the new folder is the targetfolder to create subfolders, the source folder is the template to be used $TempFolderName = "$/00_Administration/05_FolderStructures/Customer/Location/" + $NewFolder.Cat.Catname $tempFolder = $vault.DocumentService.GetFolderByPath($TempFolderName) If($tempFolder){mRecursivelyCreateFolders -targetFolder $NewFolder -sourceFolder $tempFolder} }

"CAT6" is category named "Project" and below the ".../Location/" folder the temp folder category has to be "Project".

My mistake was that former I pointed to ".../Location/Project/".

So now everything is working fine.
