Welcome to Episode 7 in the Vault-based collaboration series.
00:18
In this episode, we'll be looking at the Pack and Go functionality and how you can provide access to specific files by sending a link.
00:28
As the name suggests,
00:30
Pack and Go is a utility that copies and then packages a file and all its reference files into a single location.
00:39
The chief advantage to using Pack and Go is that you can quickly identify and create an isolated copy of those files,
00:46
and only those files referenced by a given file.
00:51
In short, you will use the Pack and Go feature to hand off project data to someone else.
00:58
For example, if your firm begins a project by doing a survey, creating the base map, and completing the parcel layout,
01:07
and then passes the drawing and associated data to a civil engineer who completes the job,
01:13
you could use Pack and Go in Autodesk Vault to assemble the information related to the drawing before you hand it off.
01:22
And this is an AutoCAD Civil 3D example, so this feature isn't only for manufacturing.
01:29
Let's say that your provider needs to check the base of the encoder of your welding robot.
01:36
Let's see how easy it is to send them the assembly of the encoder in the short video that follows.
01:50
So as planned, you need your provider to make a few changes to the base of the encoder.
01:56
To that effect, you are going to send them the assembly of the encoder that has the base part.
02:02
You can choose the format in which you want to send it.
02:08
You can decide where to save the result in export.
02:14
And you can keep the folder hierarchy or not.
02:19
As you can see, the selected options contain old design files and the Inventor project file.
02:28
You can also choose not to include the dependents, but in this case, it would defeat the object.
02:37
Finally, let's have a quick look at the settings that you can choose from.
02:48
All that is left to do is to export the package files to the storage target that you selected...
02:57
And then send them to your provider.
03:01
That is how simple this feature is.
03:15
Now, let's have a look at how you can email a link to a file in a Vault.
03:22
If a user has access to the Vault, you can email that user a link to the file, instead of sending the entire file.
03:30
You can do so either by selecting the file, selecting edit, and clicking on the copy hyperlink,
03:37
which puts a hyperlink to the selected file on the windows clipboard,
03:42
or by selecting a file and using the Send Link functionality that generates an email with a URL for the thick client,
03:51
and another URL for the thin client.
03:55
Keep in mind that in most cases, these URLs will not be accessible from outside the corporate network unless the recipient is using VPN.
04:06
I hope this presentation has given you a better understanding about the Pack and Go functionality,
04:11
and how you can provide access to specific files by sending a link.
