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.
You can package an Autodesk Inventor LT file and all, or a selection of, its referenced files under a single folder. You can also include files that reference the selected Autodesk Inventor LT file. When you package a file, the files are copied to the specified location without changing or removing the source files.
Package files
- Locate the file to package.
- In
Autodesk Inventor LT, click File
Save as Pack and Go.
- Or, in Microsoft Windows Explorer, browse to the file to package. Select the file, right-click, and then select Pack and Go.
- In
Autodesk Inventor LT, click File
- In the Pack and Go dialog box, specify the Destination Folder for the package.
- Set the path and packaging options.
- Click Search Now to search for referenced files. The total files found and disk space are displayed when the search is complete.
- Click Start to begin packaging the files. As the files are packaged, the status is shown in the Progress box. A new project file and a log file are created in the destination folder, reflecting the structure chosen in the packaging options.
Note: The log file is overwritten each time you package an Autodesk Inventor LT file to the same destination.
Add or remove files for Pack and Go
- Click More, and use the settings to find the files.
- Select Search Folder to change the location of referencing files, and then click Search Now to begin searching for referencing files.
- To add or remove files from the package, select or remove the check mark from the files in the list.
Note: When the source file has referenced files in different locations, you may have to manually relocate the target file under a single work path.
