Good day all,
We have a peculiar problem lately when checking files into Vault. Our projects are set up each with its own Vault, e.g. lets say Project 1 will have its own root folder and structure under that.
When one creates a new file, part, assembly or drawing, and save it in the working folder in the specific folder structure required, we will have the structure as follows: c:\\Working\Project 1\Drawing Office\Modelling\Gantries (example). The structure is duplicated in Vault as follows from the root level: $\Drawing Office\Modelling\Gantries (example). When checking in the file, Vault recreates the structure as follows: $\Drawing Office\Drawing Office\Modelling\Gantries (example). If the file previously existed in the correct folder, and was checked out for editing, it will now be duplicated, and you will still have the original file checked out. If you check out the duplicated version, edit it and check it back in the structure will now look like this: $\Drawing Office\Drawing Office\Drawing Office\Modelling\Gantries (example). It seems like the folder directly after the root ($) is the point where it gets duplicated.
I have created new ipj files as my feeling is that the virtual folder setting under the "Vault Options" is the cause of this problem. However, if you then want to check in a file, it gives an error of folders to be mapped. One cannot select the root folder ($) unless you work in a workspace. We do not work in a workspace set up.
Our system specifications as follows:
Windows XP 64 bit
Inventor Suite 2012
Vault standard 2012
If anyone has come across this, please let me know what I am doing wrong and what can be done to fix this.
Regards
Kobus
