Hello,

 

I'm not familiar with the Vault API at all. How do you create a Vault extension?

With Vb.net for example!

Are theses extensions called from Inventor or Vault, or how do they work excatly?

Extensions can be used in Vault and there you can start your configurations after the Copy Design for example using Inventor, all triggered and done from Vault.

Could you please give me an example?

I have created a lot of Vault extension in the past but for this I have no example.

What I would do is the following.

  1. Create a Copy Design
  2. Use the Vault extension "Configure Me" to start the file and open it with Inventor.
  3. Configure the file as you want/needed.

This  seems to be the easiest way, to my opinion.

Thank you in advance

 

Regards
