Eric's Take...

...on Inventor's Task Scheduler.

With the next release of Inventor imminent, the migration of files to the next release is likely not a task any of us are looking forward to. If you are not already using it, you may want to consider the Task Scheduler. Going from the Start button, it can be found under the Tools sub-menu of your Inventor program menu.

There are almost a dozen different tools that Task Scheduler provides to run unattended tasks. To get started, pick one from the Create Task pull-down. When picking Migrate Files (or any of the other tasks), identify the files, folders, or Project to Migrate, fill out the Task Properties below, and the task is scheduled to run (Immediately or at a later time that is more convenient). Using Task Scheduler with files in a Vault Project will require Vault Authentication from the Files pull-down prior to running successfully. Please review the Help files for further clarification of specific task capabilities.

Additionally, provided below is a link to the Search Results for Articles on Autodesk's website related to the Task Scheduler.

Hope this helps.
