Create an Autodesk Vault Basic project
- Click
Manage Projects. - In the Projects dialog box, click Projects, and then click New to start the Project wizard.
- Select New Vault Project, and then click Next.
- Name the vault project and specify the project location. Make sure that it is a new folder that does not contain any data. By default, the Project wizard creates a folder for the project file (.ipj), but if you browse to a different location, the located folder name is used. Click Next.
- Select existing libraries, add them to the project, and then click Finish.
- In the Project Editor, double-click the new vault project name to make it the active project.
- Enter the following information:
- Server The name of the computer housing the vault where this project is added. Can be a computer name or an IP address.
- Database Identifies the database that the vault project uses.
- Name The name of the vault where this project is added.
- Vault Project The name of this project, preceded by $/. Match to the name you entered in the Project wizard.
- Virtual Folder Optional. The location of the folder used to publish data to share with customers. Place it on a common server, and map with a UNC path (for example, \\Server\\Share\).
- Click Save to save the project file, and then click Cancel to close the dialog box.
Note: You can leave any settings blank, except the Virtual Folder. It is entered automatically the first time you successfully log in to the vault. - After you create the project, you can open it in the project editor to set further options.
