WHAT ABOUT VAULT?

The Autodesk Vault Duplicate Search tool is not a competitor for The Duplicate Replacer app.

Each tool performs a different task. See below for the differences.   â€‹

Vault searches for duplicates against files already in the Vault only.​ 

     

The Duplicate Replacer searches the active Inventor assembly for duplicates.

Vault replaces duplicate files in the active assembly one at a time.​ 

     

The Duplicate Replacer allows replacement of all the duplicates in the entire active Inventor assembly in one operation.

So, to replace all the duplicate part files in your active assembly using the Vault Duplicate Search tool you would need to use the workflow below: (hint - it is not ideal!)
 

  1. Check the entire assembly into Vault.

  2. Wait a while for the Vault Job Processor to index all the parts for duplicates….

  3. Run the Vault Duplicate Search tool inside Inventor.

  4. Right click one-by-one on each part file in the duplicates list to replace it from Vault.

  5. Clean up the Vault to remove the redundant parts that have been replaced.
