Automatic file numbering allows you to more easily organize your files with systematic naming schemes.
When you are logged into a vault and enact the Save As function for a file, you can have the system automatically append a set of predefined characters to the file name based on the scheme configured in the Autodesk Vault client. This feature allows you to enforce file naming conventions and prevents duplicate file names from being created.
You can generate a file number for a single file or multiple files.
The default scheme is Sequential. Use this scheme to number files sequentially. Other numbering schemes can be designed in the Autodesk Vault client. See the Autodesk Vault client help for more information.
Several Inventor commands create multiple files (e.g., Create Substitute). Some of these files are assigned a name by the Inventor software. When you first save these files, they are saved as a group. The Automatic file numbering feature allows you to override any existing names and select which scheme to use for which file. You may also select a single scheme to apply to all files in the group.
Generate Multiple File Names is supported for these Inventor features.
