Hello Andrew, thanks for the article, very useful. My company is currently migrating Autodesk Vault data and files into Windchill and we faced an important issue: When you try to open an imported assembly that:

-   Contains renamed item in Vault before import (part/sub-assy)
-   The imported (main) assembly has not been updated in Vault before import (checked out/in).

Inventor searches for the original name part/assy, not the renamed one, so you have to browse for the file manually, also if the structure in Windchill is correct and the correct file is in the workspace. When you do the same using Autodesk Vault the assembly is updated automatically. I don't know if I made that clear, but have you ever faced an issue like this?

Thanks

Hi there, we had cases where a component of an assembly wasn't available in the new Windchill location but not for any renamed ones showing an issue that I'm aware of. We had to ensure that the search paths in the Inventor project were set to the Windchill Commonspace/Project folder so that it would line up

This is for cases where the raw ipt file names were still kept the same, I think you would have to open the assembly in Inventor and correct the missing items one by one as the CAD BOM is stored inside of the IAM file
