Restriction Occurred, Cannot Pass criteria
Restriction Occurred, Cannot Pass criteria error message when creating AutoCAD dwg files from Inventor Multi sheet drawing.
What does this message mean ?
This happens when you have a multi sheet inventor drawing and the the ini file don't create correct filenaming for the sheets. Set "Filename same a source" to "False" and create a file naming scheme like this Example where you make sure to use Sheet name and Sheet number: [PartNumber]-SheetName- SheetNumber
No configuration found
Sovelia Vault functionality cannot be used without a configuration. Contact your Vault administrator.
Why do I get this message when starting Vault ?
For pre 2024 versions we need to create an empty configuration when we have a new Sovelia Vault setup, before we install the clients. We need to run the Administrator tool once and create a configuration in Vault. It dont need to be configured, but need to exist.
Please Install the Sovelia Vault Admin tool and run it once to create the neccessary file in Vault.
Do I need a Sovelia Vault License for the jobprocessor ?
You don't need a Sovelia Vault License for the JobProcessor. You just install the client and cancel the login when starting the Vault Client.
Autodesk Vault client causing inconsistent scaling for fonts and dialog boxes when login to Symetri license portal
Autodesk Vault client can cause inconsistent scaling for fonts and dialog boxes. This behaviour can impact the Symetri License login from the vault client on some screen resolutions. We recommend to set up the client to disable fullscreen optimizations. This will also solve any scaling issues with text in the vault client itself.
More information about this issue from Autodesk here and here.
- Right mouse click the shortcut on your desktop, or in
"C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Autodesk Data Management\Autodesk Vault Professional 2023 - English.lnk", and select properties.
- Then check for “Disable fullscreen optimizations”
How to see what version you are using
- The configuration version:
Go to the xml file in Vault and check for version in the Version number line:
Do not alter or move this file. Open it read only. This file should only be updated with the Sovelia Vault admin tool.
- The locally installed version:
In the Control panel check the sovelia Vault Client line:
If those versions differ you need to ether update all to the latest version or install the current version.
PDF Watermark Fails
We have seen some siuations where the watermark fails caused by a missing font. We use standard font "Swis721 BdCnOul BT Outline Bold" which are installed with windows. After upgradeing Office 365 it seems that this font can be corrupted or removed.
Download and install the missing font.
From Sovelia Vault 2024.1 its been added fallback to "Swis721 BdOul BT BT Bold" that should take care of the issue if the original font is removed.
Sovelia Vault Missing dlls
When upgrading from an older version that was created in Naviate Vault and you open the administrator tool for the first time you get an information message:
This is just information, Select "OK"
Then you get the "Sovelia Vault Missing dlls" message:
Select "Yes"
Just select "Yes" in the dialog. This is a false error and the application works as it should. We will investigate and remove this false error message.
