Get File

Retrieves a file from Autodesk Vault and downloads it to the workflow's working folder.

Purpose

Use this task when a workflow needs a local copy of a Vault file for further processing, such as format conversion, content extraction, or submission to an external system. The task locates the file by its identifier, downloads it, and makes both the local path and the Vault file object available to downstream tasks.

Inputs

Field	Type	Required	Description
File Identifier	Text	Yes	The Vault file ID or full Vault path to the file, e.g. $/Designs/Project001/DRAWINGS/drawing.dwg.

Outputs

Name	Description
DownloadedFile	The full local path to the downloaded file. Pass this to subsequent tasks that need to read or process the file content.
VaultFile	The Vault file object for the retrieved file. Use this in downstream tasks that require the Vault file reference, such as property updates or attachments.
