Hi Paul:
You will only have one working copy of the drawing. You won't have a
working copy locally AND a working copy on a file server. You probably want
to set your working folder to a network location and only have your working
copies there. Nothing local.
You said, "It created a local working copy, then saved the changes back to
the server when I checked the drawing in."
It will save the changes to the Vault server when you check it in, but it
won't update a working copy in more than one location.
You said, "I check out a drawing, modify it, check it back in... but only
the local copy gets updated."
The working copy should get updated and the drawing within the Vault Server
should also get updated.
So, maybe your working folder should be something similar to "p:\projects".
No local working folder.

I figured I may as well post this here as I'm using Vault through C3D...
We are running a test project before we fully deploy C3D throughout the
company. Last month, I started setting up base files and getting them all
set up in Vault. Everything seemed to be hunky-dory. Here's what I'm running
into today...
We have our project files on a server, as I'm sure do most of you. Last
month, I was able to check out drawings, modify them, check them in and
everything worked as it should. It created a local working copy, then saved
the changes back to the server when I checked the drawing in. Today, that
seems to not be the case. I check out a drawing, modify it, check it back
in... but only the local copy gets updated.
I'm tearing my hair out over this and have no idea what the deal is.
If it helps, we have a file server where we, obviously, keep all of our
project files and we also have a vault server which solely runs the Vault
server software.
I'd appreciate any help.
