If I had a nickel for every time I had to troubleshoot the issue of Vault not being available within Inventor I would have at least a few dollars to buy lunch. So if you want to save yourself a nickel, try these steps first:
- Make sure you have a project file active in Inventor that is a Vault type project file: This is overlooked much of the time. Even if you know what you’re doing, sometimes Inventor can magically switch project files to a default, non Vault type project file.
- Check your loaded add-ins, make sure Vault is loaded and started: A common bug in Inventor appearing in Inventor 2011, the Vault add-in does not load 100% of the time on first launch of Inventor.
- Make sure you are logged into the Vault: Remember, logging into Vault explorer does not log you into Vault from within Inventor.
Follow this quick checklist and you may just be $0.05 richer.”]
