In Vault 2025 Thick Client and Thin Client, the integrated Autodesk Viewer shows the “Display Edges” option, but it is disabled or has no effect for Inventor IPT/IAM files. This makes technical review difficult compared with Inventor’s “Shaded with Edges” display. Please enable visible model edges for Inventor files in the Vault integrated viewer, or provide an administrator/user setting to force edges visibility by default. Show More

In the transition rule from WIP to Review, we have Vault set to update the dwf and pdf. We also have the files set to follow the parent. During the transition, the pdf updates and changes to the same state as the parent, but the dwf does not; the dwf should follow the rule. It does not make sense to me to leave the dwf's in WIP. Please see attachments. Show More

I have a request regarding the DTU capabilities of transporting system settings that have been created by the Vault Connector. When a Vault is transferred or merged using DTU, these settings should not disappear as the connection between this Vault and the Target Fusion Manage instance will likely be reestablished and therefore it makes sense to keep this information alive. Can you make sure that the additional information created and stored in Vault by the Vault Connector will be maintained when using DTU Exports and Imports in the future? Show More

Migrating files directly from Vault via the job processor would be great!!!   Regards   Helmut Melmer Show More

Hello.   It would be great to be able to distinguish between standard and weldment assembly and standard and sheet metal part in Vault. Currently there is only iam and ipt, but there is no information about sub-environments. It probably can be done by "user parameter", but it would be better that it is a "System" one. And also this includes different icons of course.     Best regards, Rene Repina Show More

In daily use of Autodesk Vault, it is very common to work across both Project Explorer and Item Master. Currently, users can switch between these environments, but they cannot be open at the same time. This creates a real productivity issue. Every time users switch between environments: searches are reset filters must be re-entered working context is lost workflow is interrupted This happens many times per day in real scenarios, such as searching for an item and checking the related file, comparing file structure and item structure, or navigating revisions and components. Proposal: Allow Project Explorer and Item Master to be opened in separate windows or independent tabs, similar to modern web browsers. Each window should preserve searches and filters, maintain navigation state, and be usable in parallel, including on multiple monitors. Benefits: reduce repetitive operations save time in daily workflows improve workflow continuity allow faster comparison between data increase efficiency for advanced users Note: This is not just a user interface improvement, but a real productivity improvement for daily work. Even a simple solution, such as allowing multiple Vault client windows, would already provide significant benefits.   Thank you for your attention. Show More

Regarding the Unique File Name enforcement, Vault currently allows users to configure the following as permissible duplicates: specified file extensions by wildcard; and selected folders. I would like to add a section to this for FILE or FOLDER CATEGORY. The user would select the Folder Category from the category list (to be added to the unique file name interface). Subsequently, any files in that type or folder, would no longer have duplicate file enforcement. This relaxation of enforcement already exists for folders, as stated above. This would simply allow the user to define a Folder Category with that allowed behavior, rather than having to select every such folder manually.   Our issue is with furnished data - we cannot control external company file names. And we do not wish to rename the hundreds of files we receive every week/month. We are currently placing those files in a separate, copied folder structure in a 'Specified Duplicates-OK folder'. We then have to link those files back into their respective actual vault projects; This sucks.    However, I firmly believe this would be a valuable addition, and elegantly refines the useability of the behavior that Vault already permits.   Note: I did not specify file categories because Folder Categories would be far more important and CONSISTENT WITH HOW THE VAULT ALREADY BEHAVES. File categories would also be welcomed, but if I had to choose one, it would be folders categories.   Respectfully, John Evans Show More

Hi everyone, It would be very helpful to have the option to control the visibility of the Quick Search tool. This is how it looks by default:  Ideally, there should be an option to keep it permanently like this:  The reason is performance: in large vault environments, the default Quick Search can significantly slow down the vault server. In contrast, searching using multiple properties leads to much better performance and a smoother experience.       Hallo zusammen, es wäre sehr hilfreich, die Sichtbarkeit der Quick Search steuern zu können. So sieht sie aktuell standardmäßig aus:  Wünschenswert wäre eine Option, sie dauerhaft so darzustellen:  Der Hintergrund ist die Performance: In großen Vault-Umgebungen kann die standardmäßige Quick Search den Server deutlich verlangsamen. Die Suche über mehrere Eigenschaften hingegen verbessert die Systemleistung spürbar und sorgt für ein flüssigeres Arbeiten. Show More

Vault 2027 now extracts physical properties from Inventor files, with one caveat: This only works with new Vault installations, not upgrades as defined here:   https://help.autodesk.com/view/VAULT/2027/ENU/?guid=INV-PHYSICAL-PROPERTIES Configuration requirements The physical properties, Area, Mass, Volume are available by default in newly created Vault 2027. For a restored or upgraded vault, you should manually create Area, Mass, Volume properties and map them to Inventor properties.   This should be an automatic process for upgrades as well, and not to force users to the potentially mind-numbing manual process, when this data is needed to be shown in items.   My apologies, if I have duplicated an existing post.

Vault Add-In for Creo currently only supports up to Creo 10 even though Creo versions 11, 12, and Creo+ 13 are now available. This is very problematic when Vault has been utilized to store Creo files and needs to be addressed if Vault is to be used as a database solution for Creo data. Show More

Sometimes shop users using the thin client try to view a dxf file and when nothing shows up they click on the update visualization button.  Then it just sits in the queue until I go and remove it.  It would be nice if the option just wasn't there to try and update the visualization for files that it can't create a dwf for.

I believe it would be extremely valuable to have a centralized visualization and management tool for security permissions across all files and folders within a Vault environment. Currently, understanding and managing permissions can be complex—especially for non-expert administrators. There is no native tool (to my knowledge) that provides a global, intuitive overview of permissions or helps identify inconsistencies with the overall security policy of the Vault. Such a tool should provide: A global and hierarchical view of permissions across the entire Vault (files and folders) The ability to easily identify non-compliant or inconsistent permissions compared to defined security policies A clear and graphical representation of inherited vs. explicit permissions Advanced filtering options (by user, group, role, folder, permission type, etc.) A way to quickly audit and troubleshoot access issues The plugin Effective Permissions Viewer available on the Autodesk App Store is a great starting point. It offers a visual and informative interface that makes permission analysis much easier and more accessible. However, it remains limited in scope and lacks native integration and advanced management capabilities. Building on this concept, a native Vault feature could go further by: Allowing bulk editing and deployment of permissions across multiple folders/files Simplifying the creation and assignment of new user groups Providing simulation tools (e.g., "what access would this user/group have?"? Offering policy enforcement mechanisms to automatically detect and correct deviations Enabling reporting/exporting capabilities for audits and compliance tracking This would significantly improve security management, reduce configuration errors, and save a considerable amount of time for administrators.

It would be helpful if the user received a notification in Inventor indicating that they are not currently working with the latest project file from the Vault. Especially in large environments, you don’t always want to have to notify 300 (or more) users that they need to double-click the project file because a change has been made. Show More

When assigning items in Vault I want to stop attaching the assembly file to an item if that item was inserted as a virtual component.  I'm not sure if there is a different way to accomplish this or if it has to be that way.  Maybe the best way is just to create an empty part file and use that instead of virtual parts. Show More

It would be great if there was the ability to add rules to lifecycle and revision email notifications. Currently, it's kind of all or nothing. But over-notifying people reduces the effectiveness of the notifications. There are many file properties that could help to direct email notifications to the relevant parties, so they only receive notifications when they're actually relevant to them. For example: Often there are people that only need to be notified of an initial release, but not subsequent releases. Or perhaps someone might only (or never) need emails notifications regarding files created by a certain user. Or maybe a project manager only needs notifications for files pertaining to their projects. I realize adding/modifying lifecycle schemes could achieve some of the desired result, but really that's a limited and impractical solution. Show More

It would be nice that when I want to save a search in Vault there would be a name-suggestion based on the search I have done. Example: I am searching for Checked out by Jobuser - this is exactly the criteria I submit for the search and I want the search file be named like this. At the moment I always type in exactly this description. It would be nice if this would be a suggestion by vault so that I have to type in less. Of course it should be able to edit the name in case I want it to be different. Show More

Some customer says they would like to create items in Fusion Manage as a first step (i.e. for classification purpose or to create a skeleton of the BOM without any CAD in PLM) and after to align them in Vault. As of today Item Creation needs to be started in Vault, but it would be great to be able to perform also the vice-versa (creation of item in Fusion Manage --> alignment in Vault) Show More

It would be helpful to be able to export comparison bills of materials from Vault while retaining the existing formatting. This includes, among other things, that color-highlighted cells (e.g. blue) keep their highlighting and that struck-through items are displayed accordingly in the export. With the export options currently available—such as copying rows via “Copy & Paste” into Excel or using Vault reports—this is not possible at present. Show More
