Vault status and check out from BOM - Drawing Environment

[mindink]

I would like to introduce an idea to be able to check out files from Vault

This would occur when you open the BOM from within the Drawing environment, by right clicking and selecting Bill of Materials.

This functionality has been implemented from within the Assembly Environment per this post

I would like it available from anywhere you are capable of opening the BOM.

If this can be achieved it would speed up the editing process so much faster.

I use the assembly BOM checkout function a lot.

Right now when I see that the parts list on a drawing needs to be changed (wrong data in certain files) I need to open the assembly then open the BOM and then checkout and change in the BOM. (Or I need to open the part, checkout and change direct if it's only 1 part).

This 'breaks' the streamlined workflow.

Adding this functionality to the BOM, opened from within the drawing environment, would be very useful.

Great suggestion!

Edit: @mindink I've also included this in my signature! 🙂
