check out file into default design data folder instead of the folder define in the vault ipj file.

Hello everybody,

I'm JM CAD mentor of the FRC team 5553. We start to use Vault and we have some issue.

First, i want to say thank you to the autodesk community for the help.

So, we have a strange problem.

We install Vault Basic on a specific windows server, we define a vault ipj , some folders, etc...

and, when we make several check out/check in with the same file, sometime this file is copied into the local default design data folder and not into the worspace folder mapped with the vault tree .

I don't understand why.

I'm sure i make something wrong but i don't know what.

thank you for your help.

Perhaps your user was using the wrong Inventor project file, or tried to Get a bundle of files where some were inacessible/invisible to them?

Hello,

A video will help. Otherwise user might have downloaded the files to design data folder by mistake too.

Thanks for your answers.

I checked, everybody used the same project file ( stored in Vault ) and for all of us the working Folder is the same...

Just a silly question, but all the files ou get from Vault are supposed to be download into the working folder setup up in Autodesk Vault Basic ? ( File > Set Working Folder ... )

Otherwise, the problem i described earlier stills here but i have some more details:

We have an assembly and 1 part stored into the Vault.

Assembly-tst.iam

axe.ipt

A/ i i get those files with the "get" functionnality and check them out. The files went to my local folder ( the good one ) and i open them with file/open as usual. It worked fine. I checked them all in.

B/From Inventor i use "Vault > Open" to select a file from Vault and open it.

I choose the assembly and i get a message: "File Not checked out . Do you want to check them out ? ..." ( which is normal, the file was not checked out )

i select Yes and i get an empty dialog box without the possibility to select and click OK.

... So impossible to open the file from Vault :(.

It's not the same problem as previous but maybe the 2 problems are connected ?

Regards.
