KEY FEATURE 3: Status Change Restriction

The PowerPack add-on tool for Status Change restriction allows the Administrator of the system to apply a dedicated check routine that ensures that the comments are completed at each change in the status change within the lifecycle of the part.
The change restriction is applied using a Dedicated XML template file selection. Within the file, there is a compliance line to indicate the minimum requirement for the Comment field under the status changed dialogue.

KEY FEATURE 4: File Export Tools

The PowerPack for Vault plugin contains a range of tools specifically designed to enhance file management and export workflows, giving you new levels of flexibility.
The available jobs, IDW2PDF/DWG/DXF and IPT2DXF and DWG2PDF/DXF, can be run by simply selecting the file/files in Vault, right-clicking, and selecting "add the job to the queue". Then you select the required job in the job queue and press OK. These jobs will then use the job processor in Vault to process the jobs.

KEY FEATURE 5: File Watermarking

The PowerPack add-on tool for watermarking gives the user the option to include their own stamp marking in the drawing workspace, allowing for the customized entry using a series of predefined watermark symbol template files, with a selection of file types by name. These, in turn, can then be applied to the file exports under different formats, commonly PDF, DXF, and DWG.
The process is used in conjunction with the Graitec ‘Add to queue’ process, selecting the file(s), and then the required format is created from the initial selection of which file to add the watermark to.

KEY FEATURE 6: Autodesk® Inventor® Data Migration via Job Processor

Migration of Inventor files is important for a stable and performant CAD environment. The standard Autodesk Task Scheduler might be painful, especially in Vault environments.

That is why, in the PowerPack for Vault plugin, additional functions are included, within the context menu for folders and files, to migrate the files using the Job Processor

The main benefits of this migration via the job processor are:

• Using the power of the Job Processor, files and folders are migrated.
• Stable and performant CAD environment.
• Available in the contextual menu, for files and folders.
• Possibility to have multiple selections.

Note: This app uses a custom installer (and not the standard App Store installer).
