General Enhancements

Learn about the enhancements made to the Vault Client.

"Has Drawing" Property

To allow all design and drawing files to have the same lifecycle definition, the "Has Drawing" system property value for drawings is set to True Always. You can ensure that the objects are only released if an associated drawing exists by using the property check-in lifecycle transition, and hence be able to identify and filter the components without an associated drawing

For more information, see Open a File from Vault with Vault Client.

"Has Markup" and "Has Markup Historical" Properties

Two new "Has Markup" and "Has Markup Historical" system properties are added to help identify files or versions with associated markup data. With these properties, you can filter all files within a project that have markup data both historical or latest.

Viewer

In this release, we made several enhancements to the Viewer that apply to Thick Client, Thin Client, and Vault Mobile.

Unsaved Markups

A warning message is added to notify about the unsaved edits. After the confirmation, all unsaved markups are discarded.

Markup Count

You can now see a number on the markup icon indicating how many markups are associated with the file. Click the markup icon to view the markup details in the Markup Browsing Panel.

For more information, see Markup.

Sheet Color

The drawing background color is removed and no longer present when using the Print command.

Refresh

The Refresh button is added in the Inventor/AutoCAD Show Details pane to refresh the content.

Open Drawing from Vault Client

In the file context menu, use the newly added Open Drawing command to open the associated drawing file from the Vault Client.

Note: The Open Drawing command is supported in Inventor and SolidWorks only.
