ThinClient 2024 Download URL

Hi,

From a PDF-file in VaultPro 2019 it was possible to create/save a download URL for the ThinClient. This URL can be used in ERP to view the PDF. 

 

2019 URL (without http:):

 //srv110/AutodeskTC/srv110/VaultHVEE/Document/Download?fileId=vRklMRTpISVNUT1JZOjc5OTk1MDI&downloadAsInline=true

 

With VaultPro 2024/2025 this URL format does not work anymore and the format is complete different (as I saw when I clicked 'DownLoad' in TC). Is there a possibility to create the new download URL with the Vault API?

 

Thanks,

 

Regards,

Guus

Hi Guus

 

I don't think there is an easy way to create a download link.

 

But as a workaround, you could create a link to the file in the Thin Client, and the user could then click the download link (after logging in).

 

The format would be http(s):://<server>/AutodeskTC/<vaultname>/explore/file/<fileID>

 

Where

  • <server> is the server name
  • <vaultname> is the vault name
  • <fileID> is the ID of the file version to download

Hope that helps

Nick

Vault 2025 Update 2 added the "Link to ThinClient" as a default property; you can add it to the main grid or detail tabs. This link is auto-created and no longer needs any code.

For technical (and security) reasons, the current Thinclient architecture no longer allows the creation of a download link. But let me consider what we might achieve by leveraging the new Data API as an alternate approach to downloading a file using a single click on another web page.
