To Rename, Copy, or Replace Files Using Design Assistant

Design Assistant uses the project currently active in Autodesk Inventor to specify search paths. You can change the active project or create a new project.

  1. Use Microsoft Windows Explorer to select the assembly file, right-click, and then select Design Assistant.
  2. Click the Manage icon, and then select the file or files to copy.
  3. Click the Action cell for one the selected files, and then select Copy.
  4. Right-click the File Location cell for one of the selected files, and then select Change Location.
  5. In the Select File Location dialog box:
    • Name: Lists the folders and named libraries in the project. Click to specify the destination for the copies of the selected files.
    • Path: Shows the path for each of the listed folders or named libraries.

If the check box is not selected, and Autodesk Vault Basic is not installed, only a Single User project can be created with the Project wizard.

  1. Open Design Assistant from Microsoft Windows Explorer.
  2. Click File Projects to open the Project Editor.
