I am working on a file in Inventor:
C:\Work\Design\File Folder\File.dwg
When I check it into the vault the folder hierarchy in the vault looks like:
Vault - Administrator\Vault Explorer\Work\Design\File Folder\File.dwg.
When I check the file "File.dwg" out of the vault it shows up on my computer in this format:
C:\Work\Design\Work\Design\File Folder\File.dwg
I just want it to be in the same location I started from.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Rheth
Note:
If I open my drawings from the C: drive and check the file out from Inventor everything works fine. It's when I check the file out from the vault that I get a dupplicate set of working folders and files. So I just don't check things out of the vault from the vault program....
It's because your project (ipj file) is not in the same place you told Vault it was in when you did "Map folders".
Thank you for your answer. I have attached two image files. One is the vault working folder settings the other is the Vault Options settings. Both locations correctly show where I have the project (ipj) file. Perhaps there is another location that it has been entered incorrectly or could you expound on your reply?
This a common issue with new Vault users.
The Inventor project file setup can be a little confusing.
One thing I often recommend to new users that just want to get up and running, is to run the Autoload program that come with Vault and load a small inventor assembly. If Autoloader does not find a project file called Designs.ipj in your vault it will create one with the settings we most recommend for new customers.
This just simpifies the setup process and is not doing anything you could not do yourself.
This works best if you have a new Vault without many existing folders and you just want a simple configuration.
Hope this helps.
