CAD Property Validation

Additional Use Cases

VDS 2018 | VDS 2017.0.2

Page 12: Autodesk Vault Data Standard Inventor User Defined iProperties ... C: \ProgramData ... Autodesk Vault Data Standard

▪ System Property – Static Label + Field

▪ Category Property – Dynamic Grid Label + Field

➢ Validation = Vault Property Constraints

VDS 2016 2017 2018 | Standard Use Case

Validation = CFG + Category constraints

Page 13: Autodesk Vault Data Standard Inventor User Defined iProperties ... C: \ProgramData ... Autodesk Vault Data Standard

▪ CFG - RequiresValue

▪ Override wins

VDS 2018/VDS 2017.0.2 | Use Case 1 – Validation Override

Page 14: Autodesk Vault Data Standard Inventor User Defined iProperties ... C: \ProgramData ... Autodesk Vault Data Standard

▪ CFG - RequiresValue

▪ Override wins

VDS 2018/VDS 2017.0.2 | Use Case 2 – Validation Override

Page 15: Autodesk Vault Data Standard Inventor User Defined iProperties ... C: \ProgramData ... Autodesk Vault Data Standard

▪ CFG – adds custom property

▪ Property is no category member

▪ Property is mapped

VDS 2018/VDS 2017.0.2 | Use Case 3 – File Property

Page 16: Autodesk Vault Data Standard Inventor User Defined iProperties ... C: \ProgramData ... Autodesk Vault Data Standard

▪ CFG – adds custom property (Property does not exist in Vault

▪ Dialog adds input field

File only custom property

CFG only drives constraint

VDS 2018/VDS 2017.0.2 | Use Case 4 – File ONLY Property

Page 17: Autodesk Vault Data Standard Inventor User Defined iProperties ... C: \ProgramData ... Autodesk Vault Data Standard

VDS 2018/VDS 2017.0.2 | Support Legacy Validation Behavior

➢ Notice some files linked to the advanced editor project are not available in your legacy configuration

Add Missing Files, copy from Default installed configuration (backup)

➢ CAD configuration

.\CAD\addins\breadcrumb.ps1

.\CAD\Configuration\SaveCopyAs.xaml

Migrate 2015R2 | 2016 -> 2018 | Step 1 – Editor Setup

Page 49: Autodesk Vault Data Standard Inventor User Defined iProperties ... C: \ProgramData ... Autodesk Vault Data Standard

Continue to add missing files…

➢ Vault Explorer configuration

.\Vault\MenuDefinitions.xml

Follow Step 5 to add legacy custom commands to the new definition file

➢ Optionally copy document type definition files, if you plan to implement separated definition of XAML and XML sources (new in 2017)

.\Vault\Configuration\File.xml

.\Vault\Configuration\FileOffice.xml

Migrate 2015R2 | 2016 -> 2018 | Step 1 – Editor Setup

Page 50: Autodesk Vault Data Standard Inventor User Defined iProperties ... C: \ProgramData ... Autodesk Vault Data Standard

Find / Replace “Vault 2015 R2” or “Vault 2016” by “Vault 2018” according your source version

➢ All files of solution, Match whole word

Migrate 2015R2 | 2016 -> 2018 | Step 2 – Replace All

Page 51: Autodesk Vault Data Standard Inventor User Defined iProperties ... C: \ProgramData ... Autodesk Vault Data Standard

Find / Replace obsolete system property names

Replace IsNewEntryDialog -> CreateMode

Replace IsEditDialog -> EditMode

Replace IsCreateDialog -> CreateMode

Migrate 2015R2 | 2016 -> 2018 | Step 2 – Replace All

Page 52: Autodesk Vault Data Standard Inventor User Defined iProperties ... C: \ProgramData ... Autodesk Vault Data Standard

The legacy definition “Prop[_Category].ListValues” is no longer valid. Add the new function to retrieve category list and update the dialog’s combo box

Copy function “GetCategories” from 2018 configuration to .\Vault\addinVault\default.ps1

Change combo box definitions from

ItemsSource = Prop[_Category].ListValues to PsList[GetCategories], Mode=OneTime

Add additional attributes

DisplayMemberPath = “Name”

SelectedValuePath = “Name”

SelectedValue=“{Binding Prop[_Category].Value}”

Delete legacy definition Text =“{Binding Prop[_Category].Value}”

Migrate 2015R2 | 2016 -> 2018 | Step 4 – “_Categories” - Vault

Page 53: Autodesk Vault Data Standard Inventor User Defined iProperties ... C: \ProgramData ... Autodesk Vault Data Standard

If the legacy definition CAD dialog does not use category selection or category value assignment in default.ps1, add this to your configuration, e.g. our Quickstart 2015 R2 sample dialog has a static design for 2 different CAD file categories, but relays on Vault check in to assign the category. This needs to be changed for 2017.0.2 / 2018: either add the category selection to the dialog or assign the _Category value like this:

Migrate 2015R2 | 2016 -> 2018 | Step 4 – “_Categories” - CAD

Page 54: Autodesk Vault Data Standard Inventor User Defined iProperties ... C: \ProgramData ... Autodesk Vault Data Standard

The legacy definition “Prop[_Category].ListValues” is no longer valid. Add the new function to retrieve category list and update the dialog’s combo box

Copy function “GetCategories” from 2018 configuration to .\CAD\addins\default.ps1

Change combo box definitions from

ItemsSource = Prop[_Category].ListValues to PsList[GetCategories], Mode=OneTime

Add additional attributes

DisplayMemberPath = “Name”

SelectedValuePath = “Name”

SelectedValue=“{Binding Prop[_Category].Value}”

Delete legacy definition Text =“{Binding Prop[_Category].Value}”

Migrate 2015R2 | 2016 -> 2018 | Step 4 – “_Categories” - CAD

Page 55: Autodesk Vault Data Standard Inventor User Defined iProperties ... C: \ProgramData ... Autodesk Vault Data Standard

Replace the legacy function “GetNumSchms” by the new one copied from 2018 configuration

If your function is customized adopt the important change to read schemes into an array of scheme objects: [System.Collections.ArrayList]$numSchems =@($vault.DocumentService.GetNumberingSchemesByType('Activated'))

Replace all calls of this function PsList[GetNumSchms] by PsList[GetNumSchms], Mode=OneTime

Add attributes to the combo box control “NumSchms”

DisplayMemberPath=“Name”

SelectedValuePath=“Name”

Repeat for all dialogs consuming numbering schemes [optional].
