Sovelia® Vault Secondary formats
Sovelia® Vault can create the most common formats the same that can be created from the original applications.
Model States export
From Sovelia Vault 2024.1 Secondary formats can now be exported with “All model states” selection. Sovelia Vault will now export all model states that have a unique part number. You can also export a spesific Model state.
NB:All modelstates, or spesific model state need Full Inventor on the job processor.
If the filename same as Source filename is set to “True” the filename will be “[ModelstateName]_Filename”.
You can also build a filename from the properties and model state identifiers in the Template Name Editor.
NOTE:
After a configuration is done, the Vault client, the CAD program with vault add-ins and the jobprocessor need to be logged out and back in to load the most u-to-date configuration
