Revise through user defined properties when loading legacy data

[marina.collet]

When importing legacy data in Vault using Vault Autoloader, there is no way to get a "predefined" revision using some specific properties.

What you have to do is: load through auto-loader, then search for the imported data, use the "Revise..." function, and select the new revision "From user defined properties".

However, when doing this, a new version is created for those files whose new revision was not the default one.

Now if you cannot release a file which contains a "newly revised" child, because in Vault this child's file revision used by the parent is not the latest. You first need to check out / open / save / check back in that parent file...

Here is an example: I have an IPT file, added through Autoloader, together with its parents (including drawings).

The IPT file had a value set in its iProperty "Revision" which was higher than the default rev. value for its category: after loading it, I used the "Revise" function to change its revision (from 01 to 02.a).

The drawing was loaded with the link to rev. 01 of the IPT file.

Nothing has changed in the files.

I know want to release the part and its ascendants : I can't without updating the highest level file in Inventor, because of the revision change for the IPT.
