IExplorerUtil.UpdateFileProperties

Autodesk Vault 2016 re-assigns the method UpdateFileProperties from Webservices.documentservies to Iexplorer. Yes it provides one stop shop fuctionality for file interraction with one issue.

Its Horribly SLOW!

under the old method you could update approx 5-10 files per sec based on what functions you ran. Now I'm lucky if it update 1 file every 5 secs. What's the issue?

Well 5000 files Oldway - 8 min - New way 6.9 hrs

Am I missing something Here?

Hi @Littlerubarb,

There is a difference between the two methods.

The DocumentService.UpdateFileProperties will update the Vault's property value, but it won't update the property inside your CAD file.

What IExplorerUtil.UpdateFileProperties does, is that it updates the Vault property and the property in the CAD file by calling the required CAD API.

This is the reason why it may be slow.

If you are just looking to update the Vault property, you can choose to call the DocumentService.UpdateFileProperties.

Has nothing to do with updating the drawing, All it does is update UDP's in Vault

In that case, you can choose to call the DocumentService.UpdateFileProperties(?)

I do thats the issue, the change in the 2016 API is extremely slow, I looking for confirmation that others are experiencing this change. It doesn't have anything to do with the code as it ran great ifron 2013-2015 API's then their were some big changes made in the 2016 API and vola - now its slow.

Hi @Littlerubarb,

If you are referring to the documentation that says DocumentService.UpdateFileProperties is removed, then I believe there is an error. You can continue using the DocumentService.UpdateFileProperties. It seems to be available in the object browser too.
