Vault Acquiring Files Through iLogic

felix.cortes5K3Y2 — Wed, 04 Mar 2020 03:35:55 GMT

Hi Forum,

I am trying to download files through iLogic using Vault's API. I came across the sample code, "How To Acquire Files" from the SDK but I had trouble translating the code to iLogic. Has any one had luck downloading files using Inventor's and Vault's API?

Thanks,

Felix Cortes

Hello Felix,

We have an iLogic-Vault library available that allows you to download files using iLogic syntax. So, to download a file, the needed multiple Vault API calls are wrapped, and you can use one of these library functions instead:

'returns full file name in local working folder (download enforces override, if local file exists) Dim mVaultFile As String = iLogicVault.GetFileByFullFilePath("$/Designs/Inventor Sample Data/Fishing Rod Model/001002.ipt") 'Optionally add ..., True) to activate check out for the file downloaded.

or based on a search:

'Build one to many name/value pairs of Property/Value as search criteria Dim mSearchParams As New System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary(Of String, String) 'add UDP.DisplayName, Value Pairs mSearchParams.Add("Part Number", "00001002") 'applies to file 001002.ipt 'mSearchParams.Add("Title", "Back Side Cover") 'applies to file 001002.ipt and to file 001068.iam '...add as many as required to enable a unique search result 'returns full file name in local working folder (download enforces override, if local file exists) mVaultFile = iLogicVault.GetFileBySearchCriteria(mSearchParams, True, False)

There are more methods available to get multiple files, images from thumbnails, ...

To get the so-called "iLogic-Vault Quickstart" library, download the package, including documentation and a sample rule for each function from here: https://github.com/koechlm/iLogic-Vault/releases/latest. It also includes the source code, and you can see the Vault API sample "how to acquire files" implemented.

Let us know, whether you find this helpful.
