Inventor File Reserve 2012

You want to convert legacy Shared or Semi-Isolated projects to Vault or Single User projects, but some of the files in the project are reserved / read-only.

The attached tool allows you, between other functionalities, to un-reserve in one go all the files of the project.

For using the tool, download FileReserveR2012 and extract the files on your machine.

Read very carefully the readme file before using the tool.

Rename the file FileReserveR2012.___ to FileReserveR2012.exe.

The tool works with all older Inventor versions (from R6 – R2012).

Below you can find more details about some of the functionalities provided by the tool described in the readme file as well.

• Remove or Apply reservation flags from Inventor files.

UserXY owns the files.

   

Context menu or File Menu will provide Check In / Out functionality.

• Remove or Apply reservations from different users.

All selected files can be processed in one go.

• Search for all files from project (*.ipt, *.ipn, *.idv, *.iam, *.idw / *.dwg)

• Indicate files which have been created with Student version.

True = Educational file

False = non educational file

Not available = File Reserve used with Inventor Release < 2010

The tool, of course, doesn’t change the Educational condition of the file.

Hi we have just updated our software to Inventor 2013 but have some legacey data created using shared projects.

Is there going to be a FileReserve2013 at some point in the future? I have tryed using the program on my laptop which has Inventor 2010 and 2013 loaded, but it will not run because of the 2013 install.
Would removing 2013 allow the program to run?

Thank you for any help

Hello,
We also need FileReserve 2013. Legacy Projects cant be clean any other way. Any chance to have it?
Thanks

Hey as the above posted have mentioned a 2013 version of this program would be great. Can we get some feedback if that will happen and if so when an estimated time would be.

Thanks
