Sovelia Vault 2024.1 Release news

Model State identifiers in the Template Name Editor

The Template Name Editor now has the model state information selectable. This means that you can build unique filenames for different model states.

• ModelStatePartNumber : Part number of the actual model state
• ModelState : Model State of the source file

Secondary formats export “All model states”

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. Just as the item master in Autodesk Vault does.

If the filename same as the 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.

BOM export from file with Model states

BOM from a file can now be exported with “All model states” and specific model state selection. Sovelia Vault will now export all model states that have a unique part number or a specific model state selected in the configuration.

Since Autodesk Vault doesn’t handle model states at the file level, the BOM export is not controlled. This means that the BOM exported will be from last checked in model state if we don’t specify this in the Sovelia Vault configuration. That’s why we have added the options to export model states.

Note! The model state functionality for file BOM requires Autodesk Inventor to be installed on the Job Processor.

If the filename same as the 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.

Base subfolders on

The way to define base subfolders is now more versatile. You can now select properties and set uppercase/lowercase and define how many characters from the left should be included in the name.

If you have used old base subfolders, you need to reconfigure it to get this new way of defining base subfolders into use. 

Example

• (3); 3 characters from the left of the property
• (L); Set to Lowercase
• (U); Set to uppercase
• Example: Title(L)/[Description](4)(U) 

Added "Application protocol" to step file generation

You can now select the Application protocol for Step file generation.

Larger property fields under Property Card added

Previously there was only one line of text in the Sovelia Vault Property card. Now you can expand the textbox height to show more lines.

Item Export on Save

You can now set up to export item BOM when an item is saved. Some of our customers want to catch any change of an item. When an item is edited, updated, or created it needs a save and we can catch that and send the BOM to ERP or other systems.
