Vault Does Not tag Derived Parts as “Not The Latest”
Not sure how others use “system” library parts in industry, (but would love to know).
- In the Vault.ipj project working folders: Create a Standard part assembly (A) in the working folders called “Standards”. This will eventually become a library part but built for manufacturing with sheet metal workflows and life cycles, vendor parts, etc. Final release REV 1.
- Create a part in the library using the Library.ipj project. Derive the assembly (A) from here as a simple surface part and save into the Library folder. When checking out, must select the vault.ipj project as reference. This part can now be shared and linked, (read only), for use in “Factory Design Utilities” and other Autodesk products as a low resource asset.
- Rev the base assembly (A) to REV 2 and now the Derive part will update BUT Vault will not let you know that the base assembly has updated in the browser and the derived part is now NOT the latest. Checking out the derived part will show that the derived assembly was updated and not the latest with the lightning bold symbol.
