The Settings feature allows you to configure your relationship, attachment, and extraction preferences. The Settings feature can be accessed on dialogs displayed during certain vault operations, such as Check-in, Change State, and Pack and Go.
Note: To configure your settings for getting a revision or checking out a file for the Vault Client 2014 and for the AutoCAD Vault Add-in 2014, refer to the Get/Checkout section for those release years.
Note: The Configure Settings dialog is also available for the Get/Checkout Dialog in Vault 2012 and Vault 2013.
The options available on the Settings dialog depend on the vault operation being performed.
Relationship Options
- Select the Include dependents check box to apply the vault operation to all files on which the selected file depends.
- Select the Include attachments check box to apply the vault operation to all files attached to the selected file.
- Select the Include library files check box to include any parent/children files in the library folders. The Include dependents or Include attachments check box must be enabled for this parameter to work.

When used in conjunction with the Include dependents or Include Parents check boxes, the vault operation will apply to files related to the dependent or parent files as well, respectively.
