Using Autodesk Vault for Source Control

[Chexposito]

Last year for our CAD, we used a server to store files, and flash drives to move from our work robotics workshop to school or home, also to have several backups. To keep the files from having issues with more than one person working, we split the robot into it's components to keep from general problems that could occur with more than one person working on the entire robot. This made it simple for the CAD team to work all at once without interfering with each other. For example, our robot had three main systems/sections (we had one for each and a leader over us). They are:
1. The Chassis/Drive-Train
2. The Elevator/Electronic Board
3. The Turret
Each of us worked on our three separate main assemblies. Then we combined the three to make the finished robot.
You also need to make sure to use the project files, when creating your submission or copying to a flash drive. When you use the pack and go function on the project file, which collects all the files associated with the project, copies them, and then moves them to the specified destination. This helps making sure none of your files have missing paths, parts, etc. Also it should keep the Content Center files from disappearing when moving computers.
