THE DUPLICATE REPLACER

USE CASES

Consider using The Duplicate Replacer to solve your duplicate part issues if any of the below apply:

1) You don't have a paid version (Workgroup / Professional) of Vault

The Duplicate Replacer only requires Autodesk Inventor, not Vault.

2) You wish to perform bulk replacements of components in the active Inventor assembly

The Vault Search Duplicates tool does not allow bulk replacement of parts. Only one part file at a time, and only using parts that are already in Vault.

​

The Duplicate Replacer allows all the parts to be replaced in one operation.

3) You do have a paid version of Vault, and you are creating bespoke designs

This attractive workflow is suggested:

​

  1. Run The Duplicate Replacer on the finished assembly, replacing all duplicates within the assembly.

  2. Run the Vault Search Duplicates tool to check the remaining files against Vault, and replace any duplicates with the Vaulted files.

  3. Upload this ‘cleaned-up’ assembly into Vault.

4) You wish to create an automatically merged BOM / cutting list at any stage of the design process.

Part Number iProperty replacement is a powerful alternative included in The Duplicate Replacer and allows you to reliably merge parts in the BOM automatically if they are recognised as being duplicates.
