Batch Save to Vault

Hello,

I am looking for a way to save an imported stp file to vault, the issue with the file I received is it came in with 400 individual components within sub-assemblies. I am looking for a method to save the assembly with a specific name but then process all of the sub-assemblies and components and save them as the assembly name appended with a 001, 002, etc.. I would process it through the simplification tool and make it a simple part but this requires everything to be saved first as well, so doesn't save any time.

I am on Inventor 2024 with latest version and Vault Professional

@Gabriel_Watson Any ideas on this?  Add to Vault, and then use Rename?

Probably. I was thinking about Vault Data Standard and using a number scheme just for this, but I haven't tested it out yet with an Assembly import. It could work well if this user is also the Vault admin, so the numbering scheme can be tucked away under a specific category just for this, so nobody else uses it, and you tailor the prefix according to the assembly name anytime you need.

Accepted solution

Do you use naming schemes from Vault? 

 

Try this workflow

  1. Pull a single filename from Vault by saving an empty file. 
  2. Save the file to the workspace, but don't check it in.
  3. Close the file.
  4. Open/import the step file into Inventor.
  5. Save the top-level assembly with the filename from Step 1.
  6. Close the file.
  7. Use Design Assistant to rename all the sub-components with the proper naming schemes.
  8. Open up the top level assembly with Inventor and check it into Vault.

Alternate method

  1. Import the step file into Inventor
  2. Check it into Vault
  3. Use Rename to pull a new number for the top-level assembly.
  4. Use Rename a second time to rename all the sub-components with the proper naming schemes.

Or maybe iLogic...

Take a look at this script and see if it can be modified to match your needs.  Run it once you know the top-level filename.

Once everything is named correctly, check it into Vault.  You may need to be logged out of Vault while the script runs.
