Vault Pro 2014 Data Standard extension - setting it up

[mark.cloyed]

I am trying to test the data standards extension for VP2014, specifically with AutoCAD.  I am struggling with how to get it set up within the AutoCAD context.  I did not see an AutoCAD.cfg file included with the download, so I have copied one from another's Inventor post.  I am questioning whether it is correct.  I also am questioning how to initialize the functionality within AutoCAD.  Do I need to netload a component?  is there a partial menu to load?  I see the help refers to a ribbon tab to enable the data standard, but I don't see where that comes from to load.  I am attaching my AutoCAD.cfg file for reference.

Thanks,
Mark

Mark,

There should be three installers as part of the Data Standard download. For the AutoCAD components you need to install the AutoCAD using the specific MSI. This should both create the .cfg and the menu items into AutoCAD.

If you've installed this I'd re-download and re-install

The AutoCAD.cfg should be in C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Vault 2014\Extensions\DataStandard\CAD\Configuration
