Continuing our section on the "Asset Browser", we'll touch upon "Cloud Assets."
00:16
The Autodesk "Cloud Asset Library" is a very powerful feature within the Factory Design process.
00:23
The "Cloud Asset Library" allows you to access cloud-based assets for local use.
00:29
The cloud-based assets are then downloaded and used locally from that point forward.
00:37
Switching back over to AutoCAD architecture and looking in the "Asset Browser,"
00:42
the search bar is where you can utilize both cloud, local, and "Vault" assets quickly.
00:50
If for instance, you were looking for something like a forklift, you can just type in "forklift",
00:58
and you'll be presented with a number of results.
01:01
If you hover over each result, you can see where they come from and whether they're available.
01:08
This asset is local and so it does not have a circle indicator as to where it is,
01:16
because it exists a 100% locally.
01:19
If I look at this asset, this is a "Cloud Asset."
01:24
It does not exist locally because there's not a green check box here.
01:29
If I want to get a "Cloud Asset," you can right click on it and choose "Download Asset."
01:38
Further, you will have "Vault Assets" being shown here.
01:42
I have a forklift that is designated as a "Vault Asset" and it is also locally available.
01:51
Go through the download process.
01:54
Once we choose "Download," you will see a progress bar,
01:57
and then depending on the size of the asset and your connection to the "Cloud Asset Library," that may take some time.
02:04
Once it's finished downloading, the "Cloud Asset" is available for use.
02:11
Once the asset is downloaded and is available, you can also navigate to its storage location.
02:20
If you right click on the asset and choose "Explore," it'll bring up the local directory that contains all of your asset related files.
02:29
You could then, if so desired, take the asset files and modify them to better suit your own uses.
02:37
If you have forklifts of a certain type that are not available on the "Cloud Asset Library,"
02:43
may be easier to utilize what is there and modify it as needed.
02:49
To modify this, we could take this part file, open it in Inventor and make our modifications,
02:56
then repeat the publication process that we showed in the previous section.
03:03
And that concludes the "Cloud Asset" section of this.
03:07
We'll pick back up with how to utilize assets within your own layouts.
