To Get Latest Version From Vault with Task Scheduler

Creates and edits tasks to download the latest versions of files out of the Autodesk Vault Basic.

If you use Autodesk Vault Basic Workgroup, Collaboration, or Professional, this task downloads the latest version of the latest revision of the file. Some related files can be older versions, depending upon the revision level of the selected file.

Available when Vault is installed, a vault project (.ipj) is active, and the vault mapping is set up for the project root and any libraries.

  1. In the Inventor Task Scheduler window, click Get Latest from Vault .

    The information in the task list switches to show any check-out or check-in tasks you saved previously.

  2. In the Inventor Task Scheduler window, right-click, and select Create Task Get Latest from Vault.

    In the Log In dialog, enter your vault user name and password and the server name and database location.

  3. In the Get Latest from Vault dialog, the active vault project is listed by default. Select any of these options:
    • Add Project . Available only if a vault project is active.
    • Add Folder . Specifies a folder within the active vault project to include in the task. Not available if a vault project is active. Your selection includes the folder’s Inventor files and their dependencies. If you choose Add Folder, you have two further options: include subfolders (click in the Recursive column) and specify file types to include (click in the File Name column).
    • Add Files . Specifies individual files. Not available if a vault project is active. To change the output file type, click the Output File Name column and use the drop-down arrow or ellipsis button.

    If necessary, repeat the steps to add more files and folders.
