Workflow overview
1 Start AutoCAD Electrical.
2 Log into Vault.
3 In a single user environment, if you did not set a working folder yet, start
Autodesk Vault Explorer and set a working folder on your local
computerand then switch back to AutoCAD Electrical.
In a multiple-user design environment, set the working folder on a
sharednetwork resource for the entire project team. This allows
simultaneous access for all users on the same dataset and maintains the
data consistency.
4 Open a project you want to add to the vault.
5 Add the opened project to the vault using the Check In or Check In Folder
command.
6 Use the Open from Vault or Check Out command to open and check out
the file from the vault.
7 To work on more files in the project, check out multiple files to the
working folder using the Check Out All command in the Project Manager.
8 When you finish modifying the files, check them back into the vault
using the Check In All command in the Project Manager. All related files
update.
Best practices for vault commands
Below are the suggested workflows for using the most common vault
commands with AutoCAD Electrical.
Open from vault
Use Open from the Vault to access files in the vault for viewing or editing. To
modify a file from the vault, the file must be checked out to you and worked
on from your local drive. You must be logged into the Autodesk Data
Management Server to open and check out a file.
1 In the Project Manager, select Open Project from Vault from the project
selection menu.
