search, you preserve the references, along with annotations and dimensions
in the indirect references.
■ Use Design Assistant to move, copy, or rename files and repair the
references from referencing files at the same time.
After you copy or move files, open them in Autodesk Inventor to verify that
all of the links are correct before you give them to a vendor or other designer
to use.
Zip Files
You can use zip files to move data, archive, or copy data sets for vendors.
Avoid using nested folders in your project.
TRY IT: Move or copy Autodesk Inventor data using zip files
1 Copy each project location folder to a zip file, including subfolder paths
and files.
Do the same for the Styles Folder, Template Folder, and Content Center
Files folder. If you share these folders across multiple projects, you may
get files that are not used in your project.
2 Name each zip file with the location name of the project.
3 Include each zip file and the project in another zip file.
NOTE If your project has thread or clearance data, also include the Threads.xls
and Clearance.xls file from the Design Data folder. You may need to restore
the file to retrieve thread data for the project, but be sure to preserve the
original file so other projects that reference the file are not damaged.
4 The recipient unzips each project location folder into a new separate
folder and resets the project so that each location goes to the new
destination folder.
If you prefer, you can use a temporary root folder.
