  Vault-Model Browser Toggle button

  Here is a great usability tip for toggling the Inventor model browser over to the Vault browser – and back. This is especially nice for both Inventor power users and those of us who demonstrate Vault with Inventor regularly – and you know who you are. You can use the following code in a IVB file and then Create a button in a Toolbar and assign the Below macro to the button:

  Sub Toggle_Model_Vault()

  On Error Resume Next

   

  If ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.BrowserPanes.ActivePane.Name = "Model" Then

  ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.BrowserPanes.Item("Vault").Activate

  Exit Sub

  End If

   

  If ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.BrowserPanes.ActivePane.Name = "Vault" Then

  ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.BrowserPanes.Item("Model").Activate

  Exit Sub

  End If

   

  End Sub

  

  You can also assign some short-cut (Accelerator) keys to execute the Toggle function while working in Inventor.

  

  Cheers.
