when enabling libraries for replication the full text search is not enabled by default but it needs to be enabled one by one even if the sql server feature is enabled. This is OK for 3-4 libraries maybe, but for 20+ libraries and 5 subscribers it is very time consuming. Please make it enabled by default when enabling libraries for replication Show More

Our organisation uses 3rd party backup tools for our 1.7TB Vault. But there remain occasions where the OOTB Vault backup/restore is useful, e.g. for migrating Prod data to Dev/Test environment with different hostnames.   A full OOTB Vault backup takes several days, so using the existing incremental backup feature is desirable. However, restoring multiple, incremental backups sequentially is a very slow process, and requires significant storage for each incremental (full database copy for each iteration).   Could a cumulative/differential backup be added as an option to OOTB Vault backup/restore, so that restore operation would only be Full+LatestCumulative, rather than Full+Incremental#1+Incremental#2+Incremental#3+......   It is understood that each cumulative/differential backup would take longer to complete than an incremental, however it would be significantly quicker (copy and validate a small portion of the entire file store) than having to run a full backup (copy and validate the entire file store).   The likely benefits to be realised are desirable; 1. Faster to restore than using several Incremental backups, 2. Less backup data storage accumulated, since each previous cumulative backup could be deleted, 3. After first full backup has been made, there is no further need to run full backup, which takes several days to complete for larger Vaults. Show More

Please support Azure SQL for database.  This will bring a lot of advantages of HA out of box, central db for multi-site, no SQL server management,etc. Thanks! Show More

When doing a Copy Design, it would be helpful to have a thumbnail image of each part, especially when doing multiple parts or large assemblies. That way you can see exactly what part(s) you need to Copy Design and what part(s) you can reuse. Show More

There is an error in the Reindex File Properties dialog box.  See image attached.  The top two items have identical text. Show More

you should be able to append to a Full backup instead of restoring all the incrementals as well as the full backup , seems stupid to have to do a full back quite frequently , and when concerning a large data base has to be done on the weekend , which in a IT enviroment is when all the other Server maintenance is done, but not on vault because I have to do a full backup which takes 15-18 hours when validating .     Show More

At our company we usually want to get the "as saved" state of an assembly or drawing, meaning getting a fixed revision. At least in our environment the option "Related Documents" will cause the get command to take minutes instead of seconds to download to workspace. So this option is by default is disabled.   In the Inventor dialog there is not such an option   In fact the option is always "true", meaning a medium size assembly will take up to 10 minutes to open. If you trace the network traffic, you can see that Inventor is idleing 10 minutes on "GetRevisionAssociatedFilePathsByIds"   I don't know if we are the only company suffering from this, but it will mean a major improvement having an option to disable "related document". Furthermore I don't see any purpose in having all related drawings of all components downloaded to workspace when opening an assembly.   Best regards Erik     Show More

When checking in a Project to Vault have the drawings and reference files linked to the project xml file as children.    Also, and this might be an issue for the plant group, but a way to pack and go the entirety of the project, including the database. This would be for when you work with outside vendors.  Show More

We are in the situation that we have 5 ADMS today. We think that the number might be growing, when we add our foreign subsidiaries. For maintenance purposes it would be nice to have an option to set an ADMS to maintenance mode and direct the users to a different ADMS for that period. We plan to do some experiments if that is possible with a proxy or DNS server redirection, but a native support through Vault would be welcomed.      Show More
