AddFile with children

m_baczewski — Fri, 15 Nov 2024 11:18:27 GMT

Hello,

Is there an alternative method for inputting and adding files to Vault in this context

ThisApplication.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions.Item("VaultCheckinTop")

I tried adding a file using AddFile, but the issue is that all the files lose their associations with each other.

I would like to accomplish this because I have written an application (a configurator) that handles the entire workflow, and I want to avoid using Inventor's UI commands.

Is there a solution to this problem? Or is adding files to Vault using Inventor's UI the safest and best approach?

Adding files to Vault using

ThisApplication.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions.Item("VaultCheckinTop")

is the only supported approach. Besides file references, the BOM or multiple BOMs (Model States) are the reason for it.

Thanks for the information. That's what I suspected.
