Work with files using the Vault Browser.
Navigate to files with the Vault Browser in SolidWorks. When working with a design team on the same project, you might need to update the Vault browser in SolidWorks to see the current status of loaded files. Files could be currently checked out to other team members or the version in the Vault could be more recent than the version on which you are about to work. The Vault browser can be refreshed as needed to update the Vault stats of each file.
Open the Vault Browser
- In the SolidWorks Manager Pane, click the Vault Browser button.
Refresh a selection in the Vault Browser
- In the Vault Browser, right-click a selection and select Refresh.
The selection is updated to reflect the current state of the files in the Vault. No model data is updated.
Update the Properties for the Active Document
- In the Vault Browser, right-click a document and select Update Properties to update the properties for the active document and all its children.
