To upload a folder full of existing drawings into Vault Professional, the Autoloader is the tool of choice. However, the need for a Vault visualisation file can be easily overlooked if the option to generate one is not selected:
Once the files are in Vault and the View tab is selected no preview is available. While each file can be manually updated to include a visualisation, this could be time consuming.
Using the Vault Professional Job Server, a job can be created to create the missing visualisation files.
- Select the folder that holds the drawings or a high-level folder to search for all files missing the required visualisation.
- Select the ‘Find’ function to create an advanced search.
- Add the File Extension and Visualisation Attachment Properties. Then run the search.
- The results will show any drawing files that don’t have a visualisation file attached.
- Select all the files or as many as needed:
- Within the Find dialogue box select Actions -> Update View -> Queue Update
- The files will be sent to the job processor for visualisation file creation without the need for a manual update.
