    Vault and Volo View

    Will people using Volo View 3 be able to locate and open files that are in
    the vault? I'm just learning how this all works. We have a couple non
    department people that would want to occasionally pull up files (idw, maybe
    occasionally actual ipt parts) to print or measure. I was under the
    impression that this isn't a problem with the previous part sharing schemes,
    but will this work with the new vault program?

    The best way to accomplish this is to have then use vault explorer with VV
    and simply double click the file - this will view it with VV. However I am
    guessing that these people you are referring to don't have an AIS license.
    Unfortunately we don't offer a stand alone version of our vault client right
    now, but will some time in the future.

    What some people are doing as a work around is to copy out the relevant
    files to a standard windows directory. This doesn't mean the whole vault or
    every version, but just the "released" files or whatever is needed by the
    other people.

    Hope this helps,

    Phil,

    I'd recommend that you also try our free Autodesk Express Viewer. It is
    currently 2D only, very lightweight with full fidelity plotting.
