Thinking of upgrading? Want to see when a feature was introduced? Below outlines all the major inclusions into the 21.5 version of the CAD Add-in.
CAD Add-in 21.5.0
New
Enhanced Revision Resolver
The revision resolver has been enhanced to support multiple different vault configurations
Vault commercial with lifecycles and revision map
Vault commercial without Vault revision management
Vault basic without lifecycle and revision management
The video below shows possibly the most complete revision the system has to cope with.
The drawing and model are changed to a "Released" state in Vault. This means they are both locked for edit in Vault and checked into Vault.
Starting the revision resolver on the model (Always start from the model or assembly, never the drawing)
The revision resolver will warn that actions are needed on the Vault documents.
The current states are displayed
The current revisions are displayed
The new model revision is proposed (and is editable)
The linked drawing is also included in the revise (optional)
The new drawing revision is proposed (and is editable)
The revision description can be added
Once Revise is selected the revision resolver will.
Change state of model & drawing in Vault, to an editable state.
Check out the model & drawing*
Make the revision to the files
report the successfully completed task
*The model & drawing are left in the checked out state ready to make the modification in Inventor. Checking them in automatically after the edits can be achieved with further Sovelia CAD Add-in configuration.
Improvements on Revise revision resolver UI/UX
Revision description
The revision description field in the revise box has been changed to a text area type this means there is now support for long and multiline value.
Send BOM dialogue
The layout and the feedback of the confirmation page of what BOM information will be sent to Sovelia from Inventor has been improved to make it more understandable by the user
Fixed
Author information was not updated to file from Sovelia when mapped
Cloning part with drawing required refresh to be able to open the drawing
State push tried to push even if file already was in "Released" state
Model to drawing sync was falsely stopped if user did not have rights to SOVELIA
Closing dialogs was hard due to inaccurate hit area in top right corner (X button)
Cancel Vault state change during revise did not work correctly
Vault driven model reference name was not kept when creating reference in assembly context
Min height and width set to clone component dialog
Min height and width set to SOVELIA search window dialog
Wrong warning message was presented when there was a revision mismatch
Log level could not be set to trace and no logs were generated
AutoCAD crashed on SOVELIA property card in save when "initial directory" value was missing from registry
Sovelia Sync 5.0.1
Fixed
Change on backwards compatibility on new polling for SOVELIA Sync.
We are happy to announce the release of Sovelia CAD Add-in 25.1 for Inventor! Now you can launch ECO and ECR creation from Inventor and trigger configurations directly from the Sovelia Core self-admin tool.
Sovelia Core 25.0 introduces a new drag and drop for effortless structuring, a redesigned dashboard and notifications for better visibility, and new tools for production BOM management.
The Sovelia Vault 2025.2 update is a minor release, focusing on small improvements while development continues for the next major version. This update enhances license and login efficiency, introduces STL file generation with model state support, and brings updates to property card functionality. Additionally, several issues have been fixed to improve overall stability and performance.
