Here is an example installer project for a Vault 2012 custom command. It’s a Visual Studio 2010 project, no special software needed.

The project itself is pretty straightforward. Since Vault extensions all get installed to a special folder, it’s easy to set up the files in the installer project. I also included a custom action to perform the menu reset.

The Autodesk Developer Network is putting on their biennial DevCamps this year. There is one for Manufacturing and one for AEC, and I’ll be going to both of them. I’ll be lecturing on how to diversify your stock portfolio. Just kidding, I’ll be hosting classes about the Vault API.
If you don’t know what a DevCamp is, let me give you my rundown. It’s basically 3 days of API related content. There are a variety of classes offered, covering all the major APIs. There are also the DevLabs were you can hang out and get API help from the experts. Feel free to bring in your laptop and source code!
But the camps go beyond pure technical content. The events are held near the division headquarters so you get to meet and mingle with the development teams. You also get to hear the Autodesk VPs to talk about product strategy.

My webinar series on the Vault API is over. As promised, here are all the recordings.

The downloads are broken up into the presentation portion and the sample code demonstration, which doubles as a lab. Slide decks and source code are included in the downloads.
