Vault 2022 adds support for the highly requested functionality in Inventor called Model States. This new workflow provides a convenient way to engineer, manage, and manufacture your designs.
Model States offer capabilities similar to those found in iParts/iAssemblies. However, all configurations are stored in a single file instead of multiple files. Each model state supports unique iProperties, Parameters, and Bill of Materials (BOM). You can open files with different model states from Vault while working with Inventor.
With Vault, you can:
- Check-in a model state file from the Inventor Vault add-in to the Vault client.
- Open and place a model state file from Vault.
- Assign items to model states with different part numbers.
- Map item properties to model state iProperties.
Note: All migrated Levels of Detail (LODs) use the BOM from the Master LOD. You can edit the BOM of a migrated LOD in the Master model state. If you want to edit the BOM of a non-master migrated LOD, copy it to a new Model State and then delete the migrated copy.
