AcquireFiles

[Christopher.hartman]

I'm new to the Vault API and I have so far been successful in calling AcquireFiles to get a DWG file from the Vault.  However, I have found that it is not downloading the files associated with this drawing that are references inside the DWG. For instance, we have a folder structure like this:  $/A&E/4460/55141423_T1/DWG and for external files that are references inside the drawing, there will be additional folders with files inside them, like $/A&E/4460/data (contains PNG images) and $/A&E/4460/55141423_T1/DWG/AE_PROMO (contains a PDF file).  The only thing I'm getting is the actual drawing file, nothing else.

I have used the following settings to no avail:

settings.OptionsRelationshipGathering.FileRelationshipSettings.IncludeChildren = true;
settings.OptionsRelationshipGathering.FileRelationshipSettings.RecurseChildren = true;
settings.OptionsRelationshipGathering.FileRelationshipSettings.IncludeLibraryContents = true;
settings.OptionsRelationshipGathering.FileRelationshipSettings.IncludeAttachments = true;
settings.OptionsRelationshipGathering.IncludeLinksSettings.IncludeLinks = true;
settings.OptionsRelationshipGathering.FileRelationshipSettings.IncludeHiddenEntities = true;
settings.OptionsRelationshipGathering.FileRelationshipSettings.IncludeRelatedDocumentation = true;
settings.OptionsRelationshipGathering.FileRelationshipSettings.VersionGatheringOption = VersionGatheringOption.Latest;
settings.OrganizeFilesRelativeToCommonVaultRoot = true;

My ultimate goal is to take the DWG file and produce a PDF file via Publish. However, currently, when i create a PDF file from the drawing, I am missing the PNG images and the pages referenced from the external PDF file.

Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas on how I could get this to work?

I set up and ran quick test.  I didn't have any issues.  You might want to test it using InteractiveAcquireFileSettings instead of AcquireFileSettings, so you get the dialog box and can verify what it intends to download.

Chris is trying to do it through ACCoreConsole. So no UI/Dialog involved.

@hari.venkataramanuja : There was no mention of using ACCoreConsole.  Regardless, my suggestion was to test the code using InteractiveAcquireFileSettings, so there would be a preview of what files were being downloaded from Vault.
