v27.0.3

17-06-2026

Updates for powerVault

v27.0.3

Fixed

Compatibility issues in add-ins from other software vendors (e.g. M+M PDM Booster) caused by powerVault’s assembly loading from the Vault Client installation directory:
- Autodesk assemblies are now loaded only when required, especially when running Open-VaultConnection or Update-VaultFile -Properties outside the Vault Client (e.g. Inventor or PowerShell IDEs)
- Assembly resolving is now limited to the required Vault assemblies only, reducing version conflicts with Microsoft.*, System.*, and DevExpress.* assemblies that could previously be loaded from the Vault installation directory without proper version checks

General

Removed unnecessary Autodesk Vault SDK assemblies from the module directory, resulting in slightly smaller installation packages
Updated Licensing to version: 18.4.14
Updated shared third-party PostSharp Diagnostics libraries to version 2026.0.9 to ensure compatibility with other products
Updated internally used installer framework

Updates for powerEvents

v27.0.5

Fixed

Compatibility issues in add-ins from other software vendors (e.g. M+M PDM Booster)
caused by powerEvents Vault extension that unfortunately interfered with their assembly resolution by loading DLLs from the Vault Client installation directory without version checks, which led to potential conflicts with Microsoft.*, System.*, and DevExpress.* assemblies

General

Add-InventorMenuItem: the $inventor application object is now created and available globally throughout the entire customization script
Updated Licensing to version: 18.4.14
Updated shared third-party PostSharp Diagnostics libraries to version 2026.0.9 to ensure compatibility with other products

Updates for powerJobs Processor

v27.0.3

Features

Add-PdfWatermark now supports specifying an offset via the -OffsetX and -OffsetY parameters.

Fixed

Improved assembly loading of Autodesk assemblies for compatibility with powerVault version: 27.0.3.
Open-Document now explicitly loads the required Inventor, InventorServer and DWG TrueView assemblies from the Vault Client installation directory only when required (especially outside the Job Processor, e.g. PowerShell ISE and PowerShell 7 Console).
Issue with Add-PdfWatermark and Add-PdfQRCode where the cmdlets failed when DevExpress.* assemblies with a different version were already preloaded, for example in Vault 2024 and 2025 when running Autodesk.Vault.UpdateRevisionBlock.dwg or Autodesk.Vault.SyncProperties jobs beforehand.
Issue that prevented InventorServer from being used with Open-Document and Export-Document when running scripts in PowerShell Console or PowerShell IDEs, such as PowerShell ISE and VS Code.

General

Improved Open-Document error message when Inventor fails to start, clarifying that startup dialogs, missing license confirmation, or incorrect Windows registration may be the cause

Updates for powerPLM

v27.0.2

Features

The Cmdlets are now automatically installed with powerGate Processor and powerGate Client and included in a single powerGate license

General

Added support for Vault 2027
The powerFLC Configuration Manager dialog, previously available from the Vault Client Tools menu, has been removed.
The legacy Configuration Manager is available on GitHub: https://github.com/coolOrangeSamples/powerPLM-ConfigurationManager-Legacy.
However, it should no longer be used and should be replaced by the central powerJobs Settings dialog, which is accessible in Job Processor environments.
Sample workflows “Transfer Item BOMs” and “Change Management” are no longer installed by default.
The scripts and modules are now available on GitHub: https://github.com/coolOrangeSamples/powerPLM-Workflows-Legacy.
Removed powerFLC.log4net and powerFLC.log (including “%LocalAppData%\coolOrange\powerFLC” directory). Logging is now handled via powerGate.log4net, with all logs going to powerGate.log.
Renamed powerFLC to powerPLM
Updated Licensing to version: 18.4.11
Internal refactoring of the setup and installation process.

Breaking Changes

Removed Configuration Manager dialog and related Cmdlets
The powerFLC Configuration Manager dialog is no longer available on Job Processor environments.

Centralized Logging Configuration
The separate log4net configuration files and the dedicated powerPLM log file are no longer used. Logging is now fully managed via the central powerGate.log4net configuration. If you previously customized logging via powerPLM.log4net, please migrate your settings to the central configuration file.

Therefore your Tenant name, Client Id, Client Secret, and System User Email (if used) can no longer be configured and also the Connect-FLC [-UseSystemUserEmail] overload has been removed.
These details must now be specified directly in your scripts:

Connect-FLC -Tenant '{YOUR TENANT}' -ClientId '{YOUR AUTODESK APP CLIENT ID}' -ClientSecret '{YOUR AUTODESK APP CLIENT SECRET}' <# if used: -UserId '{YOUR SYSTEM USER EMAIL}' #>

Since the automatic $workflow variable is no longer available in job scripts:

Add your Workflow Settings into #region Settings to keep them configuratble via the powerJobs Settings dialog. Replace occurrences like $workflow.Settings.'My_Settings_Name' with $My_Settings_Name.
Specify the previous Vault Entity Type as # JobEntityType = ...
Replace $workflow.FlcWorkspace with '{previously configured Workspace Name}' (find all -Workspace ... parameters in your job script)
Replace $workflow.FlcUnique with '{previously configured Fusion Lifecycle Field in Unique Identifier section}'
Replace $workflow.VaultUnique with $vaultEntity.Your_Vault_Property

Remove checks like:

if (-not $workflow) {
    throw "Cannot find workflow configuration with name '$($job.Name)'"
}

Also the functions GetFlcProperties and GetMappedVaultChangeOrderValuesFromFlcItem have been removed. All Field Mappings must now be hard-coded in your job scripts:

Remove usages like $workflow.Mappings | Where-Object { $_.Name -eq "Vault Item -> FLC Item" }).FieldMappings
Replace calls like $properties = GetFlcProperties -MappingName "Vault Item -> FLC Item" -Entity $vaultItem with, for example:
```
$properties = @{'Number' = $vaultItem._PartNumber; ... }`.
```

If your configuration previously mapped to PowerShell functions, these must now be refactored directly into the previous hashtable, because the file “%ProgramData%\coolOrange\powerJobs\Modules\coolOrange.powerFLC.Workflows.MappingFunctions.psm1” has been removed.

Modules coolOrange.powerFLC.Workflows* are no longer installed
In addition to our sample workflow jobs, even their Modules are no longer installed by default.
Download the Modules from GitHub to continue using the following functions in your job scripts:

coolOrange.powerFLC.Workflows.Common.psm1:
Add-VaultChangeOrderComment, Add-ItemAssocPropertiesToBomRows, Merge-VaultBomRowsByNumber,
GetFLCItemIdFromUrn, GetFLCWorkspaceIdFromUrn, GetFLCItemVersionUrns,
coolOrange.powerFLC.Workflows.Extensions.psm1:
GetGridRowData, Get-FLCGridColumns, Get-FLCGridRows, Add-FLCGridRow, Update-FLCGridRow, Remove-FLCGridRow, Update-FLCGrid
coolOrange.powerFLC.Workflows.Async.psm1:
InvokeAsync, WaitAll

Renamed Powershell module
Because also the powerFLC module has been renamed to powerPLM, existing Import-Module powerFLC statements will no longer work and should be removed.

Re-Activation after Upgrade (only if no Customer Key is stored)
If powerGate is already activated on your workstations or Job Processor, no action is required after the upgrade.

If no Customer Key is entered in the License Manager and the previous version was activated using a powerPLM (powerFLC) serial number or via offline activation, a 30-day powerGate trial will start after the upgrade.

To continue using your Fusion Manage integration without interruption, simply enter your Customer Key to activate coolOrange products.
Your powerGate license (which may be newly generated for you) will be retrieved automatically.

For command-line activation, please note that “C:\Program Files\coolOrange\Modules\powerFLC\License.exe” has been removed.
Please use C:\Program Files\coolOrange\powerGate\License.exe instead.
