Pack and Go reference

Packages an Autodesk Inventor LT file and all of its referenced files under a single location.

Use Pack and Go to archive a file structure, copy a complete set of files while retaining links to referenced files, or isolate a group of files for design experimentation.

The style library is automatically included in the target directory created by Pack and Go.

Access:

In Microsoft Windows Explorer, select an Autodesk Inventor LT file (.ipt, .idw, .ide, .dwg (Autodesk Inventor LT Drawing)), right-click, and then select Pack and Go. In Autodesk Inventor LT, click Save As Pack and Go.

Source File	Displays the path and the file name of the file to package.
Destination Folder	Specifies the destination for the packaged files. Click Browse to find the appropriate destination, or enter the path and folder name. If the folder does not exist, a prompt to create the folder is displayed.
Find referenced files	Sets the path for the search. Note: There are two Search Now commands in the dialog box in different groups. The one in the Find Referenced Files group begins a search for files that are referenced from the selected file. The one in the Search for Referencing Files Group begins a search for files that reference the selected file and its transitively referenced files. The same file is not displayed in search results more than once.
Options	Sets the file options for the packaged files. Click to select the desired options. Note: If any packaged files have the same file name, only one of the files can be placed at the destination folder\file name. This results in references to the files that were not copied being redirected to the one that was successfully copied. Model Files Only Copies only Autodesk Inventor LT model files ( .ipt, .idw, .ide, .dwg (Autodesk Inventor LT Drawing)) to the destination folder. Referenced files such as spreadsheets and text files are not copied. Include Linked Files Copies all referenced files to the destination folder, including spreadsheets, text files, and other files. Skip Styles When selected, Styles are not copied with the packaged file. Skip Templates When selected, Templates are not copied with the packaged file.
Total Files	Displays the total number of files to package.
Disk Space Required	Displays the disk space needed on destination media. Make sure there is enough space at the destination before starting the packaging operation.
Start	Begins the packaging.
Progress	Displays the progress of the packaging.
Search for referencing files	Sets the path for referencing files.
	Search folder Searches for referencing files in the folder identified by the path in the field immediately below this option.
	Include Subfolders Searches the selected folder and all subfolders for referencing files.
Files Found	Displays the list of files to be packaged.

Note: Pack and Go creates a log file of the operation and places it in the same directory as the packaged file. See the log file for information about the packaging operation and the names and source paths of all referenced files.

The log file is overwritten each time you package an Autodesk Inventor LT file to the same destination.
