Open new files directly from the Copy Design window.

I'm posting a comment I had from an older idea discussion:

 

Now that I have used Vault Pro 2025 for a while, I find that the Go To command in the RMB menu is ok, but it could be better.

 

My process now is to :

  1. Set up the copy design
    1. Keep a copy of the source component open in Inventor on my left monitor
    2. Review the structure of the source component with Inventor and set each member file to copy in Vault, as required.  I usually change out 10-50 components in a several hundred component assembly. 
  2. Change all the part numbers using Numbering Schemes
  3. Whine that I can't change component iprops, like Description, during the copy design.swalton_0-1736791704866.png

     

  4. Execute the copy.
  5. RMB on the top-level component and select Go To destination folder
  6. In the destination folder, RMB on the new top level component and select Get or Open
  7. Start updating the design as required.

 

I'd much rather have a Get or Open command so I can start work with Inventor as soon as the Copy-Design process is complete.

Hint: After copying something you can save the whole list as Excel (before closing the window.) That gives you a nice ToDo list.
