Read file iProperty from Vault

[Anonymous]

How would I go about reading the Revision number iProperty, of the active inventor file, from Vault using either VBA or VB.net?

[Anonymous]

Yes, that's all correct

[bradeneuropeArthur]

can you please take a look if all properties are synchronized!

otherwise:

replace the msgbox with:

MsgBox(hh(0).FileRev.Label.ToString)

How do I check if properties are synchronized?

This is the vault view of the part that I'm testing

This is the name of property I want to get:

and its setup to map with Inventor

I added ToString as you suggested but it's still blank.

Sorry to take lots of your time, I appreciate all your help

May I ask why you would like to know only the vault revision. Maybe there could be a simpler solution for your problem and your needs.

I need to take a second look at the code because you are using vault basic. The code of the revision needs another approach. The revision.label seems to be not available for vault. So I need to take a look at this.

Why do you want to check the revision?

I have an iLogic rule our team uses to check if the revision number of their active document matches the rev number of the part it was copied  from (master file). At the moment im relying on the user manually making sure they have the latest version of that master file on their local drive. I would like to directly check the revision num property of that master file in Vault instead. (or get the latest version of it locally before comparing the two)

Then you should beter check if the file is latest version. This is much easier and a better solution.

This is much easier to check. Because a revision can also have different versions of course.

Let us take a look at it....

Hi to check what you need will be as follow:

Check the Creation date of the vault file with the local file.

Dim fio As System.IO.FileInfo = New System.IO.FileInfo(Odoc.FullFileName)

MsgBox("Local File date = : " & fio.CreationTime & " Vault File Date = : " & hh(0).CreateDate.ToString)

These are different when not downloaded the latest revision!!

Hope this will help you solve your problem.

Hi,

Could the above help you in your needs?

Otherwise I am also able to represent you the revision from vault. But will this help you is the question?
