If you are logged in to Vault, you can use the Prospector tree to create a new project in the project database.
You create the project using either the default Sample Project template, or another template you have saved. Project templates provide the capability to create a new project with a predetermined folder structure, where each folder can also contain files of any type. The template folders are found in the AutoCAD Civil 3D Project Templates folder on your local disk.
Note In general, a user who creates a folder or project data can delete it using Autodesk Vault. For this reason, it is recommended that all new projects be created by a system administrator. This will prevent other users from inadvertently deleting a project and associated files.
NoteIf you have workgroup replication enabled in either Autodesk Vault Collaboration or Autodesk Vault Professional, your workgroup must have ownership of a folder before you can create a project in it. For more information, see Managing Ownership of Project Drawings.
