copied to the specified location without changing the contents of any of the
source files.
All referenced files must be resolvable using the current project (.ipj) file. If
not, it is important to either open the correct .ipj file and make it current
either in Autodesk Inventor or the standalone project editor, or to browse to
it in the Pack and Go dialog box in the Project File field.
Pack and Go
Pack and Go is a tool that packages an Autodesk Inventor file and all of its
referenced files in a single location. All files that reference the selected Autodesk
Inventor file from a selected project or folder can also be included in the
package.
Use Pack and Go to archive a file structure, copy a complete set of files while
retaining links to referenced files, or isolate a group of files for design
experimentation.
TRY IT: Move or copy Autodesk Inventor data using Pack and Go
1 Use Microsoft Windows Explorer or a Design Assistant session started
outside Autodesk Inventor to find the file to package.
2 Select the file, right-click, and then select Pack and Go.
3 On the Pack and Go dialog box, specify the Destination Folder for the
package.
4 Set the path and packaging options.
5 Make sure that the path in the Project File field identifies the appropriate
project file for the selected file. If not, use the Browse button to locate it.
6 Click Search Now to search for referenced files. The total files found and
required disk space are displayed when the search is complete.
7 Click Start to begin packaging the files. As the files are packaged, the
status is shown in the Progress box. A new project file and a log file are
created in the destination folder reflecting the structure chosen in the
packaging options.
The log file is replaced each time you package an Autodesk Inventor file
to the same destination.
