Thanks for this thread. I've been trying to implement some kind of collaborative work method, and none have been satisfactory. We seem to have the same issues.

Last year, sneaker net required face-to-face transfer time, FIRSTbase was too slow last year, etc.

The school system does not allow collaborative work and has consequently disabled any possibility of a shared drive between students.

This year, Inventor does not have the ANSI or Parker libraries. So any hope of doing detail design at the level required to win the Autodesk award will have to be faked, i.e. ISO components instead of ANSI components.

I haven't tried SolidWorks or ProE yet, but I could go learn those packages too.

Re: Using Autodesk Vault for Source Control

All,

I am currently checking on the questions raised with reference to the libraries and Autodesk Vault.

For those teams looking for a data management system I strongly recommend Vault. So much so that I included a couple of Vault tutorials in the FIRST curriculum materials posted www.autodesk.com/first.

Any questions, you can email me at phil.dollan@autodesk.com.

Phil

I was in contact with no less than a dozen Autodesk employees over the course of two months prior to the kickoff attempting to get an ADMS installer. I was told that this normally comes with the pro version, but we are only offered the student version, in which ADMS is not included. It ended with a "we'll see what we can do next year" We Desperately would like to use Vault. If you can get FIRST teams ADMS, we would greatly appreciate it.

Re: Using Autodesk Vault for Source Control

Good news!

If you have used Vault in the past and would like to use it again this year or if you want to start using it, we have a solution for you.

Please contact me at phil.dollan@autodesk.com so we can review the solution for this year.

Re: Using Autodesk Vault for Source Control

Last year I had similar issues with transfering files between just TWO people because we use the Inventor that is loaded on the computers at our school for the CAD classes. We had issues because each of our files was linked to our individual network accounts and if one person was not there to log on, the other was stuck having a teacher use a roundabout way to access their files.

This year we are trying to use dropbox, an application from DropBox.com. I like it because it automatically updates everyone's folder when it any file is added/deleted and if you google dropbox portable there is even a version that can be put on flash drives. It can be a little buggy at times, but so far dropbox has been working pretty well for transfering files between about 5-6 people.
