Inventor VBA - get file structure from Vault

[ThatWorksForMe]

Hey there,

I am trying to create a dialog in Inventor which presents the file structure from Vault. Is there a possibility to get the structure from the screenshot?

In the dialog with the shown structure I will choose a folder where a shortcut of the file should be saved.

The reason why I want to do this is simple. The structure where the files are saved isnt the same structure as in Vault.

Files are saved in the following structure:

- "data"-folder

   - year-folder

      - month-folder

In Vault the structure is like shown in the screenshot.

I hope I have clearly described it.

Hi,
First of all your sceenshot is based in Vault Basic.
Since Vault basic is very limited this is not easily possible. I have some programming that should be recoded and re-tested with the vault basics.

The step you should make is to implement any other version of vault and this will be an out of the box tool.
The browser you mean is implemented then.

So this is not easy.
Are you familiar with programming?
Are you familiar with the Vault API?
Are you familiar with the inventor API?

If any of these questions is no then dont start programming of Copy it from the forum.
Each release of vault needs to be reprogrammed because of changes in the API.

I thought that this answer comes. Even if I did not want to hear it.

I am familiar with VBA and iLogic. That is not enough. I see.

And reprogramming on every API change is no option.

I hoped there is an easy way to get this done. It seems not.

Thanks for your comment

Think that the Vault Basic API does not support this actually.
So there it ends.

Thats no problem because the next Software will be Vault Pro 2018 and therefor it should work.

But that doesnt solves the problem for me.

Hi,

I agree.
The problem could be solved with the correct software....

Success with the Vault 2018 implementation.
If you need any support with the Vault 2018 API please let me know.
