Issue:

How to ensure Vaults Job Processor (Inventor Server) uses the same settings as Inventor.

Solution:

After Vault 2018 update 2, Vault will use Inventor Server to process Inventor jobs through the Job Processor. 

  • Inventor Server uses the settings in the default installation folder: 
    Vault 2018.2 - 2020 = "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Vault Professional 20xx\Explorer\Inventor Server"
    Vault 2021 - 2022 = "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Vault Client 202x\Explorer\Inventor Server"
    Vault 2023 - (up to the latest version) = "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Autodesk Shared\Inventor Interoperability 202x"

    • Design Data

    • Templates

    • Textures

  • If using full Inventor, it will use the Default Inventor Project File defined in Working Folder Options.


For consistent results, after editing the Inventor Project Files files for Templates, Design Data, Textures, etc, copy them to ....Explorer\Inventor Server folder, and replace the default files. Inventor Server will then use the same settings as the fully licensed Inventor program.
