Vault Projects
To use the vault project, Autodesk Vault software must be installed. A different
dialog box opens so that you can create a Vault project. Characteristics of a
vault project include:
■ Designers never view or work directly on the vaulted version of a file.
■ Each designer uses a project file that defines a personal workspace where
Autodesk Vault copies the vaulted files for viewing and editing.
■ Changes to files made by other designers, and checked back into the vault,
are not visible until you refresh your files to get the latest versions in your
workspace.
■ Autodesk Vault maintains copies of all of the previous checked-in versions
of data files, and stores additions about edit history, file properties, and
file dependencies in its database.
■ You can set up queries on file properties, track file references, and retrieve
past configurations.
For a vault project, you must have a workspace located at a path relative to
the project file folder (such as .\ or .\workspace) and no other editable
locations.
