The purpose of this video is to show how to
00:09
set up an Inventor project file for use with Vault.
00:12
Vault uses an Inventor project file to store the
00:15
paths to folder where your design data are located.
00:19
In the Inventor application,
00:21
let's create a new project file.
00:25
In the settings in the project dialog box,
00:27
click on new to start with creating a new project file.
00:31
Select New Vault Project.
00:33
Click next.
00:35
Provide a meaningful project name.
00:40
I'll go with Vault project.
00:44
For the workspace folder,
00:45
it is important that
00:47
you specify
00:49
the Vault working folder.
00:59
I have specified my Vault working folder path here as Inventor project path.
01:05
Click finish.
01:12
I had a workspace
01:18
I have created a folder called Designs,
01:21
which is my workspace.
01:23
You can call the Designs folder as workspace as well.
01:34
You can change the templates folder path,
01:37
design data folder path,
01:38
presets,
01:38
and content center files folder path
01:41
as required.
01:47
Click save and done.
01:50
The Vault project is now created.
01:52
The next step is to
01:54
log in to Vault,
01:58
click on access,
01:60
click map folders.
02:02
It is very important
02:04
to map your local working folder paths to your
02:07
Vault folder path using the Inventor project file.
02:13
I'll choose
02:14
the Vault root folder as my project root.
02:18
This is why we created a workspace folder.
02:22
Specify the content center folder involved
02:25
as the Content Center path.
02:28
You can also specify
02:30
the template and design data folder.
02:40
You will specify
02:41
a new design data folder within Vault.
02:48
Click OK.
02:55
You can see that as part of this project file
02:57
now when we try to open the file from Inventor,
03:01
it is
03:02
looking at the Vault working folder.
