Vault status icon

DamianoTasca — Tue, 19 Jun 2018 06:52:29 GMT

Hello,

in Inventor it would be useful to have an icon showing the status of the active file without enter into the browser vault (see attached example).

Is it possible to create something similar?

Alternatively, a text in the status bar would also be fine.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I am wondering how the default options may fulfill your requirements:

The Data Card is available in your 2016 version at the same location. The dock-able Vault browser pane has been introduced in 2018 but your 2016 Vault Browser also has the status Icon available. Last but not least - you also can add any other property to your browser view; so, the textual minimum you are asking for is also available.

Hope this helps.

Hello Markus,

many thanks for your answer. I understand that versions 2018/2019 have been improved with dock-able browser.

But in the 2016 version I need to have a fixed icon (or a text, flag...) to avoid switching in the Vault Browser or checking every time the Data cards menu.

You can avoid switching browsers in 2016 installing a smart add-in from here: https://apps.autodesk.com/INVNTOR/en/Detail/Index?id=4353713679589028485&appLang=en&os=Win32_64

Thank your very much, Markus!
