PartItem.getfileproperty("thumbnail", filepath) fails to upload to vault

KentKeller — Thu, 25 Mar 2021 23:23:55 GMT

I am trying to upload a thumbnail image to a part item (innovator.part.thumbnail)

The method for this is the setfileproperty method.

I have written a function to do this, but it failt to create a new file in the vault. The other updates work fine and the part.thumbnail property does populate with some unknown GUID

Public Sub RegisterArasPart(strPartNumber As String _
, strName As String _
, strDescription As String _
, strClassification As String _
, strLegacyNumber As String _
, strPDMDocumentID As String _
, strImagePath As String)

'Update an existing Aras Item and populate the thumbnail
'Note: I ensured that the file specified is on the server (or available)

Dim NewPartItem As Aras.IOM.Item = inn.newItem("part", "add")
NewPartItem.setProperty("item_number", strPartNumber) ' & iDashNumber.ToString("00"))
NewPartItem.setProperty("name", strName)
NewPartItem.setProperty("description", strDescription)
NewPartItem.setProperty("pdmdocumentid", strPDMDocumentID)
NewPartItem.setProperty("classification", strClassification)
NewPartItem.setProperty("_legacy_number", strLegacyNumber)
NewPartItem.setFileProperty("thumbnail", strImagePath) 'This fails to upload the file given by the strImagePath.
NewPartItem.apply()

DisconnectFromAras() 'This is my function to disconnect

End Sub

CAD documents management without connector

PaulvanderRee — Wed, 27 Jun 2018 04:07:57 GMT

Hi, we have done an Aras installation for demo/ test purposes. So we have the free downloaded version, no connectors. On the side of regular documents, parts, BOM etc. everything goes well. Where I get stuck is uploading/ managing CAD (Inventor) files. The question “can you manage CAD files and relationships without a CAD connector” has come up several times (1), but I have not found a clear answer. Aras states many times that it can manage/ vault any kind of file with or without a connector but a clear, concise tutorial is needed! The main question is: Without a CAD connector, do I upload the CAD files in “documents” or in “CAD documents” (“CAD documents are mainly used by CAD integrations. It was set by Aras to standardize the way CAD integrations were made.”). Either way, can you give a step-by-step instruction? If CAD models must be uploaded in “CAD documents” it is not clear what the relationship is between the “native file”/ “viewable file” fields and the “files” tab (lower part of the screen, where files are uploaded). Below is a link (2) – instruction that says to first upload the files into the vault and then connect them to the “native” and “viewable” fields.

CAD revision management

I've just gotten started evaluating Aras Innovator as a PDM solution. I have been able to work out most of the functionalities we need it for, which is mainly related to keeping track of our CAD documentation. However, there are two things that get in the way, one of them being how to open assemblies from Innovator (it seems I need to open the individual parts separately to have them appear in the assembly) and the other being how CAD document revisions are handled. Let's say I have an CAD assembly named "Assembly 1" which consists of "Component 1" and "Component 2". They all start out as revision A. At some point I make a minor adjustment to "Component 2", bringing it to revision B. The change is small enough that I see no reason to revise the assembly. However, I want the structure for the Innovator CAD document for "Assembly 1" to reflect this update so that it now points to "Component 1 revision A" and "Component 2 revision B". I want to avoid having to revise the entire product structure for minor changes to components used. I tried changing the Life cycle maps for CAD, Part and Document to set the released behaviour to float and thought this would make the assembly point to the new revision. That changed nothing though. A workaround would be to step in as an administrator and update the CAD document structure to replace superseded revisions but I'd much rather have it automated to avoid unnecessary mistakes. Any suggestions on how to proceed?
