Values are typically set in Autodesk Vault.Vault Options
Virtual folder = virtual folder within the vault database that
maps to the root folder for the project.
Publish folder = specifies where Streamline data is pub-
lished.

NOTE For more information about creating and using Vault projects, see the
manual called Autodesk Vault (version) Managing Your Data in your product box.
The manual is also available in PDF format on your product DVD at ais

Set Up Folder Structures
A typical project might have parts and assemblies unique to the project,
standard components unique to your company, and off-the-shelf components
such as fasteners, fittings, or electrical components.
To help Autodesk Inventor locate referenced files, it is a good idea to set up
subfolders under your project workspace or workgroup folder. You can keep
all your design files for a project in the subfolders.
As a design project grows, you often must move data. For example, you might
change drives, move to a different server, add designers, or share data that
was previously unshared. When you maintain a simple folder structure, it is
easier to accommodate increased design complexity, more designers, and
distributed data.
Use these guidelines to create a folder structure for project files:
■ Follow your company standards and naming conventions for the project
folders.
■ If you plan to edit files from existing designs, copy them to a subfolder of
the workspace.
