Vault Open > Update Properties

I understand this issue is already with the product dev team, but as it still hasn't happened and made it through to RTM software, I think it should be formally logged here.

 

I've had to instruct and be quite strict on users in that they're under no circumstances allowed to open any CAD drawing/file/model directly from Vault.  So no right clicking on files in Vault and using 'Open'.  Why?

 

Two reasons.  The first was that the files opened using Released Bias settings.  That was resolved in Vault 2015, but not quite enough to make it usable.

 

Second reason is that properties are not synchronised during the open, so title blocks & iProperties don't update during the open.  It can be manually updated after the open but I have too many users to expect this to always be done.  

 

Please offer the property sync on Open through Vault.  This happens when opening via the CAD client, need it when opening from Vault.

 

Thanks

Because of the way I do my revision blocks in some systems, I prefer that properties do NOT update automatically as the files are opened.  So, this should be set as a check box option... on or off.  IMHO
