TIP If you want others to view updates you made to a project and you want
to continue modifying the project, select the Keep Checked Out option on the
Check In dialog box. This checks in the updates you made to the project and
keeps the project checked out to you.
NOTE You must have all references of a project file downloaded to your
working folder to edit the project file.
■ View the status of files in a design
The status icons indicate the status of your local files as compared to the
same files in the vault. You can tell when the local copy is in sync with
the vault and when it is not. The tooltip for each status icon describes the
state of the file and suggests the next logical step. The status of a local file
is updated when it is saved to disk.
NOTE The vault status icons are only available in the list view and only appear
when you are logged into the vault.
Setup for single user vs. multiple users
You can perform vault operations on the entire project or individual drawing
files listed within the project in AutoCAD Electrical. However, in a
multiple-user design environment, you can choose to check out and edit
individual files as they are needed rather than checking out the entire project
at once while still maintaining drawing file dependencies and versions. After
you change the files and check them back into the vault, the associated files
simultaneously update.
Use the Project Manager to perform all vaulting operations. In AutoCAD
Electrical, you can select a file (or multiple files) within a project to:
■ Check in (all)
■ Check out (all)
■ Get latest (all)
