To Work with CAT-MFG-ASSYCODE Key System

Note: The following workflows apply only to Autodesk Vault Professional 2023 and later versions.

Use CAT-MFG-ASSYCODE Key System in a New Vault

  1. In Autodesk Data Management Server Console, create a new vault with Manufacturing configuration.
    1. In the Create Vault dialog box, Vault Configuration, select Use Configuration.
    2. Under Configuration, choose Manufacturing.
  2. In AutoCAD Electrical toolset, log in and check in your project to Vault_Manufacturing_Config.
  3. Start Autodesk Vault Professional and log in to the Vault_Manufacturing_Config vault server.
  4. Review the BOM of the newly checked in project.

Use CAT-Only Key System by Migrating an Existing Vault

  1. Migrate old vault server database into a new vault server.

    Legacy projects are already in the vault. The vault settings use the CAT-only key system so "CAT-MFG-ASSYCODE" is not available in the Equivalence Value mapping.

  2. In AutoCAD Electrical toolset, log in and check out your project.
  3. Check in your existing project to Vault_Migrated_From_Legacy.

    A warning message displays and prompts you whether to continue the check-in. If you continue to check in, the CAT-only key system will be used for Electrical BOM in the Vault.

  4. Start Autodesk Vault Professional and log in to the Vault_Migrated_From_Legacy vault server.
  5. Review the BOM of the project.

    You can see that it's not using the CAT-MFG-ASSYCODE key system.

Update a Vault to CAT-MFG-ASSYCODE Key System

Follow these steps to update a vault to CAT-MFG-ASSYCODE key system after new vault migration by exporting and importing configuration files.

  1. Migrate old vault server database into a new vault server.

    Legacy projects are already in the vault. The vault settings use the CAT-only key system so "CAT-MFG-ASSYCODE" is not available in the Equivalence Value mapping.

  2. In Autodesk Vault Professional Server, export and import the Manufacturing Config to Vault_Migrated_From_Legacy to update it to the CAT-MFG-ASSYCODE key system.
    1. In Autodesk Data Management Server Console, create a new vault with Manufacturing configuration.
    2. Export the config from the Vault_Manufacturing_Config. Set the name as Vault_Manufacturing_Config.cfg.
    3. Import the config to the Vault_Migrated_From_Legacy.
    4. Close Autodesk Data Management Server Console and run the OB2BMIGRATE command.

      Now, the Vault_Migrated_From_Legacy is configured with the CAT-MFG-ASSYCODE key system.

  3. To migrate all existing AutoCAD Electrical and Vault projects to CAT-MFG-ASSYCODE key system manually, do the following:
    1. In AutoCAD Electrical toolset, check out the projects from Vault.
    2. Make changes to all drawings in the project and save.
      Note: You need to make changes to all the drawings in the project and check in. Otherwise, the data in the legacy and new BOM might be mixed up in the Vault BOM.
    3. Check in all drawings to Vault.
    4. Repeat steps for all vaulted projects in AutoCAD Electrical toolset.
  4. Start Autodesk Vault Professional and log in to the Vault_Migrated_From_Legacy vault server.
  5. Review the BOM of the checked in project.

    You can see that it's using the CAT-MFG-ASSYCODE key system.

Manually Update a Vault to CAT-MFG-ASSYCODE Key System

Follow these steps to update a vault to CAT-MFG-ASSYCODE key system after new vault migration by changing the settings manually.

  1. Migrate old vault server database into a new vault server.

    Legacy projects are already in the vault. The vault settings use the CAT-only key system so "CAT-MFG-ASSYCODE" is not available in the Equivalence Value mapping.

  2. In AutoCAD Electrical toolset, log in and check out your project and drawings from the Vault_Migrated_From_Legacy vault server.
  3. Make changes to any drawing (for example, zoom in or out an image in the drawing), save, and check in the updated drawing.

    A warning message displays and prompts you whether to continue the check-in. If you continue to check in, the CAT-only key system will be used for Electrical BOM in the Vault.

  4. Start Autodesk Vault Professional and log in to the Vault_Migrated_From_Legacy vault server.
  5. In Autodesk Vault Professional, add CAT-MFG-ASSYCODE to the Equivalence Value property mapping.
    1. In Vault, click ToolsAdministrationVault Settings.
    2. In the Vault Settings dialog box, Behaviors tab, click Properties.
    3. In the Property Definitions dialog box, select Equivalence Value. Click Edit.
    4. In the Edit dialog box, Mapping tab, create a new Item entity. Under Provider, choose AutoCAD.
    5. On the File Property drop-down list, click Import PropertiesImport From Vault.
    6. In the Select File dialog box, browse to your project and open the drawing you made changes with.
    7. Find the CAT-MFG-ASSYCODE property. Click OK to add the property to the list.
    8. Click Edit again.
    9. In the Edit dialog box, Mapping tab, use the arrow buttons to move the CAT-MFG-ASSYCODE record to the top of the mapping.
    10. Change mapping selection to one way from File to Vault. Click OK.
    11. Close the Property Definitions and Vault Settings dialog boxes.
  6. In Autodesk Vault Professional, add CAT-MFG-ASSYCODE to the Number property initial value mapping.
    1. In Vault, click ToolsAdministrationVault Settings.
    2. In the Vault Settings dialog box, Behaviors tab, click Properties.
    3. In the Property Definitions dialog box, select Number. Click Edit.
    4. In the Edit dialog box, Settings tab, Property Values, click Initial Value drop-down list.
    5. In the Initial Read Mappings dialog box, create a new Item entity. Under Provider, choose AutoCAD.
    6. On the File Property drop-down list, click Import PropertiesImport From Vault.
    7. In the Select File dialog box, browse to your project and open the drawing you made changes with.
    8. Find the CAT-MFG-ASSYCODE property. Click OK.
    9. In the Edit dialog box, Mapping tab, use the arrow buttons to move the CAT-MFG-ASSYCODE record to the top of the mapping.
    10. Close the Initial Value Read Mappings dialog box.
    11. In the Edit dialog box, click OK.
    12. Close the Property Definitions and Vault Settings dialog boxes.
  7. To migrate all existing AutoCAD Electrical and Vault projects to CAT-MFG-ASSYCODE key system manually, do the following:
    1. In AutoCAD Electrical toolset, check out the projects from Vault.
    2. Make changes to all drawings in the project and save.
      Note: You need to make changes to all the drawings in the project and check in. Otherwise, the data in the legacy and new BOM might be mixed up in the Vault BOM.
    3. Check in all drawings to Vault.
    4. Repeat steps for all vaulted projects in AutoCAD Electrical toolset.
  8. Start Autodesk Vault Professional and log in to the Vault_Migrated_From_Legacy vault server.
  9. Review the BOM of the checked in project.

    You can see that it's using the CAT-MFG-ASSYCODE key system.
