Each user has a unique working folder
00:10
isolated from other users.
00:13
However,
00:14
depending on your design requirements,
00:15
you can specify a working folder on a shared network drive
00:19
that is accessed by all users.
00:24
A shared workspace or a shared working folder can be used with
00:29
Autodesk Vault
00:31
or the Vault add in for AutoCAD based design applications like AutoCAD Electrical,
00:36
AutoCAD mechanical
00:38
or with
00:39
the Vault add in for Microsoft Office users.
00:46
To set a shared working folder,
00:49
you can log in as an administrator,
00:53
click on Tools,
00:55
click on Administration,
00:57
click on Vault settings,
01:01
and in the Vault settings dialog under the working folder,
01:04
define Working folder options.
01:06
Click on the Define button.
01:13
Under the Enforce consistent working folder for all clients option
01:17
selected,
01:22
input the network
01:24
folder path for your shared working folder,
01:31
and click OK
01:33
to apply.
01:37
It closed.
01:37
We can see that
01:39
the change has not been reflected here.
01:43
To see the changes reflected,
01:46
log out from the Vault client,
01:48
log in back.
01:53
We can now see that
01:55
the newly
01:56
enforced working folder on a shared network network path
02:01
has been
02:02
enforced on the Vault client.
02:09
I can see that
02:10
when I click on the Project Explorer,
02:14
the working folder is now directed to the shared working folder.
02:22
When using a shared working folder you need to keep some rules in mind
02:26
because using a
02:28
shared working portal means that multiple users will be working
02:33
on the files concurrently.
02:36
All users must log into the vault before performing any file operations.
02:41
If a file has been checked out to another user,
02:43
you cannot perform the following actions
02:46
like
02:47
get latest version,
02:48
get previous version,
02:50
check out that file,
02:51
and do check out that file which has been checked out to another user,
02:55
or reload those files,
02:57
which is applicable to all AutoCAD add-in only.
03:01
However,
03:02
if a file has been checked out to another user
03:05
and
03:06
you're using the same working folder,
03:09
in that case,
03:10
you can still view those files as read only.

The system administrator enforces a working folder on a shared network location for all project members to use.
Note: You must be assigned the role of Administrator to perform this action.
