NOTE Your system administrator may provide you with your own account
values which you will use instead of the defaults. If you are experiencing
problems, speak with your system administrator.
To set up a local working folder when using Vault:
When you are working with files in Autodesk Vault you need to have a working
folder set up. The working folder houses your files while you are working on
them (between checking files out of the vault and checking them back in to
the Vault). The working folder can be a folder on your local machine or a
folder on the network. Typically a system administrator will set up the working
folder on the network. For information on setting up working folders (shared
working folders) on the network see Managing_Your Data_5_Vault_3dsmax.pdf
for information on how to manage data in a Vault setup with 3ds Max.
NOTE If your system administrator has enforced a network working folder, you
may receive a message notifying you of this. You will not need to set your working
folder, though you may need to map the drive location that has been set up for
your working folder. For further information, speak with your system administrator.
1 In 3ds Max choose Server > Login and login on page 6902 to the Vault.
NOTE Make sure the version of Vault that you want to work with is selected
in the Autodesk Vault Version box.
2 Choose Server > Options.
3 Browse to the folder that you want to use and click OK to confirm.
To coordinate local files with Vault files:
For optimal coordination between your files and those in the Vault, you need
to maintain a one-to-one correspondence between the folder structure in the
database and the structure in your working folder and its subdirectories.
