Thanks,

Hi Jason,

For Inventor files, you’ll need to modify the project (.ipj) to reflect a location that is local and relative to your workspace. Create a Library folder in Vault, and store the templates in that folder. Note that you may need to temporarily turn off the ‘disable check in of design files’ option in Tools>Administration. Finally, perform a Get of the new .ipj and the Template to each users’ machine. For a more detailed look, see my blog post:

Hope this helps.

Brian,

Thank you for your response. I suspected I would need to do something along those lines.

I will try and set this up tonight.

Thanks,

Jason
