■
Autodesk Vault maintains copies of all of the previous checked-in versions
of data files. It stores additions about edit history, file properties, and file
dependencies in its database.
■
You can set up queries on file properties, track file references, and retrieve
past configurations.
For a vault project, create a workspace at a path relative to the project file
folder (such as .\ or .\workspace), and no other editable locations.
Default Projects
When you install Autodesk Inventor, it creates a "Default" project, a "samples"
project, and a "tutorial_files" project automatically. If you do not create a
project or specify a different project, when you start working in Inventor a
default project is automatically active. Your files are saved to the Default
project.
The default project does not define an editable location. However, you can
use it to create designs immediately and save files anywhere without regard
to projects and file management. Generally, you use the default project for
experimentation only, not actual design work. It is easier to set up a project
before you start designing. It is more difficult to migrate your files to a project
when the design gets complex.
New Projects
Set up your file structure and understand who can access the file data before
you create a project.
Set the project type when you create or edit a project. The type determines
where files can be edited and saved, who has access to files, and check in and
check out behavior.
The Project Wizard creates a workspace in the same folder as the project file.
If you change that setting, keep the workspace as subfolders of the folder
containing the project file.
