Projects
A project represents a logical grouping of a complete design project. A project
organizes your data by maintaining information about where design data is
stored, where you can edit files, and maintains valid links between them.
Projects are essential when you work in a team, work on multiple design
projects, and share libraries among several design projects.
Autodesk Inventor supports two types of projects:
■ Single-user Project
■ Vault Projects (if Vault is installed)
A Project Editor is provided for you to create and edit project. In the Project
Editor, you specify the project type, the default workspace, and library names
and locations. Set the remaining project options to suit your design
environment, and then specify project search paths.
Access to the Project Editor is provided:
■ On the Applications menu, under Manage.
■ In the Open dialog box.
■ On the Windows Start button, click Programs ➤ Autodesk ➤ Autodesk
Inventor ➤ Tools.
