Re: Autodesk Projects and Dropbox

Hi All,

Just getting up and running for the 2015 season.

Always interesting to see the comments on file management. Ideally you want a system that allows checkin / checkout and Vault is the answer. As I know from many discussions offline with FRC teams it is not always possible to setup given the server restrictions in school labs.

Let me know if I can help with any file management issues. Looks like there are few good work flows and suggestions already posted.

We now have Vault up and running and have successfully designed a drive base / custom transmission project this fall. It is definitely the way to go. We have been able to figure out the basics.

Are there tutorials available to show us the proper use of Vault? I'm sure it's pretty powerful and we are just scratching the surface.

Ken

This isn't related to using Autodesk/Dropbox together but, Dropbox comes with 2GB of space.*

Hi Phil. We used Vault in 2014 with great success, but we encountered great difficulty in setting up the project file and working folder. We recently went through the process again in preparation of the 2015 season and found it no easier to set up again, since we forgot a lot about what we did the first time. Also, we've had some difficulty using autoloader and bringing in files from other sources.

We'd be most appreciative of any tutorials you have.

Also, will Vault continue to work fine with files containing HSM data?

Finally, can we upgrade Inventor to 2015 and still keep our Vault server at 2014? Or will we need to upgrade that too?

Thanks.

Re: Autodesk Projects and Dropbox

Re: Autodesk Projects and Dropbox

Last year 2590 switched from using Google Drive to GrabCAD. It allows students to upload changes without affecting the whole team's CAD. Users can view revision history before downloading changes. It was easy to use and setup. Unlimited storage is also a bonus. Plus, it's free to FRC teams this year, all you have to do is make an account and email the sales rep wit how many seats you want for your project.

I highly recommend using it.

Re: Autodesk Projects and Dropbox

Here are a couple of links to many Vault tutorials. I like the second link which covers basic to advanced.
