Rename Folders

Vault folders can be renamed in Autodesk Vault. Renaming folder is considered as a path change operation to the files inside the folder. Therefore, the files referencing the files inside the folder are required to update when getting outside of Vault (such as Get/Check Out, Pack and Go and so on).

Before renaming a folder, make sure all files in the folder are checked into the vault. If a file in the folder is checked out, then the folder cannot be renamed.

After renaming a vault folder that is part of an Autodesk Inventor project, edit the Autodesk Inventor project file, .ipj, to map the project to the new folder name.

Rename a Folder

  1. Right-click on a vault folder and then select Rename.
  2. Enter a new name for the vault folder.

If the vault folder is part of an Autodesk Inventor project, open Autodesk Inventor and edit the corresponding project file, .ipj, to reflect the name of the new folder.
