Hi Thiha, I agree with Dennis that the best approach is to use the conversion server since the file is not immediately available in the onAfterAdd event of an item. You can use the conversion server to create a custom conversion task to transfer the file, which would allow you to configure a slight delay. Jillian

Hi Thiha, Thank you for the additional information on your use case. Could you confirm what version of Aras Innovator you are using? Jillian

Hello Jilian, Firstly I'd like to thank you for you reply.Actually by my side, I don't need to convert to PDF. PDF files are already generated and attached as Viewable files of CAD. As soon as CAD with attached file has been saved in Aras, I'd like to grab these data (like itemNumber,Generation...) and check out Viewable file(Already Attached) and upload to ERP. So I developed and attached method on Server Event 'OnAfterAdd' of CAD Item Type, the method is to grab data, check out physical file on SAME SERVER not in the CLIENT and push that data ,upload or transfer the file from the SERVER to ANOTHER SERVER (ERP). But at this time,to check out the physical File, that does not exit in the vault. Summary, I understand, physical files do not go in the Vault immediately. The main requirement is to check out on same server the file On Creation CAD Data. Please any suggestion? Sample Codes are below

Hi Thiha, Could you let us know what version of Aras you are using? Also, are you using the Aras CAD to PDF converter or are you setting the viewable file manually? Jillian

Hello dlingdinger Thank you so much for you reply. The client has already been using Aras for engineering side. Now they wanna to use ERP(Inventory Module), so Parts in Engineering will be Stock in Inventory. So when they create the part,cad (with attached files) , we need to bring these data including viewable pdf file in CAD to ERP(Inventory Module) to be stock for Sale,Purchase... like that. The client wants to bring data including file as soon as after Part and CAD create on Engineering. I can't transfer file. Thanks, Thiha Swe Myanmar.

What if you hook the afterAdd of the File ItemType? Another approach may be to use the conversion server. Dennis
