Hello,    currently, it is not possible to check in the file directly into Vault when exporting RVT in Inventor. Workarounds must be created to check in the RVT into Vault afterwards. Therefore our customers would like to have a direct check in option to Vault when exporting RVT.   Thanks!   Hallo,   derzeit ist es nicht möglich, beim RVT Export im Inventor die Datei direkt in Vault einzuchecken.

Add a search bar to the ribbon on Used and Where used for finding/identifying where a component is in a tree or identifying if components are within assemblies quicker. We have multiple parts that are reused in different assemblies, but we also have variations of these components/assemblies that leads to parts being used over the years in hundreds of assemblies. This means to identify if a component has been used in a top-level assembly you either have to start at the component and drill up, or start at the top-level and drill down. Without knowing which numbers the assemblies are in either direction, and having multiple levels of assemblies in-between the component and top-level, it seems the only options are you either go tree-by-tree or load the top-level assembly then identify where it is. It would be a lot quicker to search from the Uses/Where Used tabs whether the number in question exists in the tree and then expand the tree that matches and keep all others closed. Show More

Imagine following scenario:   1.Sales department wishes to have some change. They fill "change proposal" for a specific top level item. This change proposal needs to be actually accepted for work. 2.The R&D department checks it and sees that it is a low priority change and that they can't do it now. The processing of the changed proposal is pushed back in queue. 3.The customer support finds a serious bug. They fill "change request" for the same top level item. 4.The R&D have to find resources to handle this change request. 5.A five month period passes, R&D have now free resources and they can pick up the first "change proposal" now.   This workflow is possible in all free open source change management systems for software. We coders (and your software development team too) have a "ticket" system in which creating a ticket for a project does not lock up creation of other tickets. It is up to R&D team to pick them up in logic order. We can attach ticket to project without a problem. Thanks to "history branching" system (GIT users knows what I am talking about) we can even work at the same moment at overlapping changes, but it is of course too much to ask for.   In Autodesk Vault the top-level product item is the "project" for us. This is where you start when looking for information about the "project" - ideally everything should be possible to locate with top level item as a starting point.   Currently Autodesk Vault prevents us from creating second "change order" on the same item, thous this nice workflow is impossible. We have to resort to secondary "change order" system. Practically speaking Vault "change orders" are "changes about which management already decided that we have to do them NOW". Having two systems to manage changes is a pain in behind, generates maintenance costs, training costs and a lot of mess.   My idea is then:   1.Assume that we have two primary groups of states for change orders: "created" and "working on it". 2.When change order is created, it is in "created" state. 3.When work on change order begins, the change order goes to from "created" to one of "working on it" states. This includes all acceptance stages, post-processing, whatever, until work is completed and can be a base for new changes. 4.As long as change order is in a "created" state there is no restrictions on what item or file can be added to it. Especially the fact that item is already contained in some other change order (in any state) doesn't prevent it from being added to "created" change order. 5.When change order is to make state transition from "created" to one of "working on it" states, this transition is prevented if any of contained items can be found in other change orders that are in any of "working on it" states. 6.When change order is in any of "working on it" states, a standard, current rules do apply. That is it is impossible to add items which are in other "working on it" change orders.   This should make possible to:   1. Treat "Change orders" as "change proposals" until they gone to any of "working on it" states. 2. Bind "Change proposals" with all related projects (top level items) thous make it easy to find them. 3. Prevent processing of conflicting changes when actually making them thanks to restriction on state transition to any of "working on it" states. 4. Have one "change  proposal" and "change order" management system what would save licensing costs, training costs and reduce risk of human mistakes during synchronization of two systems.   Please consider it.   Show More

Hello.   It would be great to have ability to create also drawing when "Copy including drawing" or "Replace including drawing" is used via Data Standard on local files (not in Vault yet). Currently only local model is copied, eventhough drawing locally exists. If both original files are in Vault, both are copied.   Best regards, Rene Repina Show More

안녕하세요 여러분, Vault 시스템을 구축한 고객사에서 요청한 내용입니다.   ECO 생성 시 여러 파일을 선택해서 ECO를 생성하는데 이후 레코드 탭에서 관련 파일을 추가하려면 단일 파일에서만 해당 메뉴가 나타나는데 여러 파일을 선택한 상태에서도 '관련 항목 추가' 메뉴가 활성화 되어서 한 번에 여러 관련 파일을 추가할 수 있으면 좋겠습니다.   Hello everyone, This is a request from a client who has implemented a Vault system.   When creating an ECO, multiple files are selected. Later, when adding related files in the Records tab, the menu only appears for a single file. However, I'd like to see the "Add Related Items" menu activated even when multiple files are selected, allowing multiple related files to be added at once.         원하는 기능     이 기능이 유용하다고 생각되신다면 공감해 주시고 널리 공유해 주세요!   If you find this feature useful, please share it and share it widely!   Show More

This is a copy of an old (archived) Vault idea. We have several clients looking for this functionality, so that's why I decided to bring it back. https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/vault-ideas/data-standard-integration-for-microsoft-office-amp-vault-office/idc-p/13783393#M13501 Data Standard integration for Microsoft Office & Vault Office Thick Client I recently saw a demo of M-Files. I wanted to hate it, being a Vault proponent. But it's really good, they have nailed what data management for the end user should be like.    Data Standard goes some way towards improving that for CAD users, and frankly could be molded to very closely match the M-Files setup at the front end. But Vault is lacking some of the back end M-Files has, since it uses a different approach. Any way, what set it apart most clearly from Vault was a form based UI everytime an Office user created a new document. It asked a series of questions and requested input of values into properties before the user could start to build their new document.   There were two approaches; Create a new file using M-Files within Word, or Save a normal Word file to the M-FIles drive in My Computer.    Either way the M-Files form appears.    This is almost identical to the way Data Standard works in AutoCAD and Inventor. It would be really good to see this functionality extended into Office as part of Vault Office, Workgroup & Professional. Then non-CAD users can be sold Vault solutions instead of needing to purchase an additional SQL based document management system for the rest of the company.   Often management can relate to needing a document management system, but fail to understand or balk at the costs associated with getting one for their Design / Engineering departments. This type of functionality would be a door opener for increasing the number of companies moving from Vault Basic to WG / Pro or even buying it from the outset.     Show More

Default yes/no responses (Vault Options > Prompts) are great, but sometimes the response depends on circumstances.  Where I work, there are users of data and creators of data.  The creators should always be given the option to "Check Out" files from Vault.  But the users of this data should not need to waste time clicking all the prompts, if they only intend to read/use the data. Can Vault be modified to save us time by taking the user's role and the file type to say this? User type "x" should always be prompted to Check Out, when opening file type "y". User type "x" should never be prompted to Check Out, when opening file type "z". Show More

Users want a consistent presentation of information across Vault environments. Example: On the Vault Client, the information about "Has Model State" is displayed as an icon. = Good! On the Web Client, the information about "Has Model State" is displayed as the text "True / False." In addition, the column header in the web client is filled with the text "Has model state"; in the Vault Client, only an icon is displayed, which is completely sufficient from the user's point of view. Why are there these differences at UI and no standardization?        Show More

It should be possible to configure a vault custom job when the reset of a file's lifecycle status is executed.   Background: When a change to the lifecycle status is executed, e. g. new status 'WIP', a vault job makes changes to the part in our ERP system. (ERP part is 'WIP' too, not released) If the user resets the change to the lifecycle status, the changes in our ERP system are not reset to the old values. A status roll back is also a status change, so a custom job should also be configurable! Show More

Please change or allow Admin to change/remove Vault Thin Client Item View Tabs.

Hello,   Sometimes files remain “checked out” by the job processor user when standard Autodesk jobs fail with an error message. This leads to a blocking situation for end users who do not have permission to undo the “check out” or remove the “reservation” for the file in question. End users cannot continue their daily work. Examples of standard Autodesk tasks where this problem occurs: autodesk.vault.syncproperties (Sync properties failed for the following files: *.dwg: Sync properties not allowed on non-tip versions) autodesk.vauklt.updaterevisionblock.*  ... It would be better to "rollback" the the check-out of the file in question in case of an error. Or at least have the choice between the 2 workflows. Show More

The Vault Add-in for SolidWorks 2024 & 2025 utilized the Temp folder during a number of key operations including: Renaming (Vault Thick Client) Copy design Scanning step of Autodesk Autoloader for SolidWorks The Autodesk Vault Add-in for SolidWorks utilizes the C:/Users/%user.name%/AppData/local/temp. Due to security policies this folder was being blocked by AppLocker preventing the functions above from working properly.  After troubleshooting this with Autodesk support the response was:   "It appears that Autoloader's access to the default temporary folder is part of the current software design and may be hardcoded. At this time, the development team is unable to offer an alternative solution without modifying the underlying behavior of the application. That said, the team is continuing to evaluate the issue, and a change may be considered for a future release if deemed appropriate."   Future releases should improve this such that the use of the temp folder is minimized entirely or the ability to redirect these files via a config file.  This is needed to improve security and accessibility.   Show More

The duplicate search function is fantastic and it is fine if you have Inventor and can run it. Since the information is there and indexed, how hard would it be to add this on a tab along with where used/uses information on the Preview Pane? Or at least make it available so we can access it from the API.   By the nature of our bespoke machine design process we end up with a lot of physically duplicate parts. This is fine for our local in house manufacturing because our systems are automated to take care of this and it is more economic to not have to worry if a part will change when the parameter file or iLogic changes it, especially if the machine is in the early stages of development. Our European branch however outsources their manufacturing and we could save some costs by re-issuing a job with reference to the previous identical part. They will naturally want to automate this, but one step at a time.   We do have a standardization procedure and a different numbering scheme to easily identify them. Another feature that would benefit us would be adding the duplicate search to copy design. We could search on what we have set to copy in the assembly before we copy and be able to swap out parts rather than to copy them.  Show More

It would be great if we could apply filters in the Users and Groups admin. Our Vault has over 900 users, but only 220 active users.
