Functionality:   Provide a user-friendly environment with no Powershell scripting to relate numbering schemes with cascading properties and discrete visibility to specific categories.   Autodesk example that exists today:   Look at the ACC solution. You can easily create a properties using any definition you want, attach it to a numbering scheme. The numbering scheme is not limited to 10 fields, it can be longer to fulfil international standards. Once user selects the file name from picklist, the properties are automictically populated according to selection. You can easily map the numbering scheme to specific folders by "tick box" process where applies, hence discrete list is offered to end-user - same concept can be adopted for categories.   No powershell required, easy adoption and agile to suit projects and product delivery.     Show More

Hello VAULT team,   at the moment it is possible to customize the output file names of PDF files created with the Job Processor by modifying the Job Processor configuration file JobProcessor.exe.config. The naming convention defined in the config file is valid for all files in the vault. (see picture "VAULT-1" and "VAULT-3")   However, in different projects we need different definitions for the naming conventions for the created PDF files. It would therefore be important to be able to define multiple name definitions in the config file. The application of the appropriate naming convention should be based on the file category of the file from which the PDF is to be created.  (see picture VAULT-2)   For each project, we create a project-specific file category and use it to assign the appropriate life cycle and revision scheme to the files. Using this project-specific file category, the job processor could recognize which naming convention it should use to create the PDF file.   It would be great if these configuration options were added quickly. Thanl you. 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.

When using the Rename fuction currently in Vault, there is no way to select all dependent files for any .iam or .idw files unless all .idw's .iam's or .ipt's are moved into the same folder.    Just like how the "Change State" function can grab all related files to change a predefined lifecycle state, I think that this function would benefit the Rename function greatly, and would save people a lot of time. Especailly if their company has requirements on specific folder structures.    Show More

Hello, It would be extremely helpful for our customers if there were a property in Vault that describes the user who made the last status change. In addition, a property that records the date and time of the last status change would also be helpful. This would save a lot of additional programming and add-ins. Thank you!   Hallo, für unsere Kunden wäre es absolut hilfreich, wenn es eine Eigenschaft in Vault gäbe, die den User des letzten Statuswechsel beschreibt. Zusätzlich wäre eine Eigenschaft hilfreich, die das Datum und Uhrzeit des letzten Statuswechsel schreibt. Das würde viele zusätzliche Programmierung und AddIns sparen. Danke! Show More

If a component contains model states of differing geometry, the automatic STP or DXF creation only support the active model state and does not create all the necessary versions required. We need any file with an Inventor model state to output multiple STP/DXF files to match.     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

The new trash bin looks good at first. But we really need an option to search for documents in there! Case 1: User A has deleted a file called “123.ipt” to the trash bin. User B tries to create a new file with the same name. And gets the message “File name already exists”. But User B has no chance to find the deleted file and gets stuck. Case 2: A file called “123.pdf” was deleted to the trash bin. Now a job is run that tries to create a new “123.pdf”. And gets stuck of course! We urgently need the possibility to search for files in the trash bin. For manual searches you could put in a check box right beside the “Search only last versions” option. But even more important is the possibility to search via API for all things scripting related. 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

Hello.   If you could please add a way to edit File Names & File Properties at the same time, it would be a huge efficiency gain and help with preservation of information. This would also help with encouraging file migration for users switching from a Windows Explorer environment to Vault or from migration of alternate competitor programs.   I think this could be achieved in  2 ways: 1) Allow changing of file name in "Property Edits". The area for editing the file name is currently greyed out and locked.     2)    a: Allow rename, copy, and paste in the Rename Wizard.        b: Allow descriptions/fields to be COPIED and then pasted into the file name rename space. I believe this would be the least             effective, but easiest way to allow copying of data between columns to the file name.   Let me know if you have any questions or other considerations.

Description of Problem: In Autodesk Vault, lifecycle state changes can currently be performed even when related Job Processor jobs are still pending or processing for the same file. This can create situations where jobs fail because the file changes state before the workflow is completed. Examples include: PDF/STEP/DWF publish jobs Synchronize Properties jobs Custom lifecycle automation jobs A typical scenario is: User changes file state Vault creates one or more Job Processor jobs User immediately changes the file to another state Pending jobs fail because the file is no longer in the expected state, revision, permission context, or is no longer the Tip version This creates unnecessary errors in the Job Queue, due to Non-Tip version issues, and makes it harder to identify real problems.   Suggested improvement: Add an optional lifecycle setting or transition rule that: Checks for pending Job Processor jobs on the file Either warns or blocks the state change until jobs are completed Possible options: Allow transition anyway Show warning only Block transition if jobs exist Block only for specific job types Showing active/pending jobs directly in the state transition dialog Benefits: Reduces unnecessary failed jobs Cleaner Job Queue More reliable lifecycle workflows Prevents race conditions between lifecycle changes and automation This would improve robustness for both standard Vault workflows and advanced automated environments using custom integrations.

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

International collaboration involves localized clients and multiple client locale settings. Date/Time and number formats may result in misinterpretation, e.g., February 1st 2026 could be displayed as 01/02/2026, 02/01/2026, or 2026/02/01. A hint about the locale behind the values displayed by the Vault server might help avoid uncertainty. What if the Server Address in the Vault Client status bar displayed Date/Time: MM/DD/YYYY and Number: 1.234,56 as a tooltip?  Show More

The Query Builder is a useful tool to search for files. It would be great if the configuration of the fields to search can also be part of the distributed searches/settings.   Right now what seems to work is to copy the "Displayed Properties" in the  "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\Autodesk Vault Professional 2024\Servers\<servername>\Vaults\<vaultname>\History\QuickFindHistory-IExplorerObject.xml" file, but it is a manual process.   Show More

We have two different work flows, one for standard parts that are highly controlled and one for custom parts that are usually only used once for a job then not changed again but reused of future projects.  The problem we are having is that we do not want the people who are working on custom parts to have access to any standard parts that are currently in work in progress (WIP).   Sometimes parts that are WIP are actually in some larger assemblies and if a user does a "get" of that larger assembly and its children, they will get the WIP version of those parts.  I can deny downloading for them on WIP parts but the problem with that is that vault does not know to go back the most recent version that that user does have permission to download.  What vault does is looks in the user's working folder and deletes that file (if it exists in their working folder) and tries to download the most recent version but the permissions denies the download, so then there is a missing part from the upper level assembly.    There also is not a way to download a previous version manually because the most recent revision is work in progress.   I could also prevent them from seeing WIP parts but Vault hides all revisions not just the work in progress revision.      There needs to be a way for users to be able to download the most recent "released" version of files, not just the most recent.   Show More

It should be possible to allow or disallow disallowed Windows characters in Properties. This is particularly interesting if you want to use custom functions to pull files with the value of a certain property from the Vault. This can lead to problems if the property in question contains a value with e.g. "/"         Show More

The current LowPriority mode, defined in web.config on ADMS servers, needs more flexibility. (Autodesk docu)   At the moment it is only possible to define a start and end time for every day. It would be nice to define times for each day separately. For example on the weekend it needs no low priority, servers can run with full power.   In our case we have only one DB, subribers are AVFS servers and its a global system, so we have only a slot for 3 hours daily to run not with low priority and on the weekend sometimes we do changes which should be done then with full power.   Thank you Show More
