Importing a Civil 3D ProjectДЄlthough there are many ways to import data into Vault, to create the Vault Civil 3D project you must import the project through Civil 3D.

dst file However, this also allows multiple people to be in the sheet at once, as well as to edit the sheet set simultaneously. When opened in Sheet Set Manager, it appears the same as opening a. dst file during import and creating a folder set, with a. Sheet Set Manager also integrates by processing a. This will then bring up the same Data Shortcut dialog you are accustomed to (Figure 1). Utilizing them is the same as Data Shortcuts-right-click and choose Create Reference. Within the project is the folder structure containing Vault Shortcuts. Within Civil 3D in Toolspace Master View is a section called Projects that displays the projects you select from Vault when you are logged in. They are stored in an auto-created folder named Civil 3D Data. The project has an indexed and categorized area where the shortcuts are stored by type and can be used the same was Data Shortcuts. xml files created and stored in the Data Shortcuts folder, Vault recognizes Civil objects and during file check in, you can also check in those objects as Vault Shortcuts. A quick overview of how those both works is as follows. The most important part to understand for the sake of this article is how Data Shortcuts (Vault Shortcuts in the Vault environment) and Sheet Set Manager work in the Vault environment. If you are unfamiliar with the process or need a refresher, you can find the detailed article on the AUGI website. In the July 2014 edition of AUGIWorld, I wrote an article entitled вЂњManaging Your Project Data with Autodesk VaultвЂќ that detailed the use of Civil 3D with Autodesk Vault. This creates a Vault Civil 3D Project that recognizes existing Data Shortcuts and converts them to Vault Shortcuts and prepares the project to recognize Civil 3D objects to create additional Vault Shortcuts.Д¬reating a Civil 3D project in Vault sets up a purpose-made environment for Civil 3D projects, including Data Shortcuts. However, Civil 3D projects, specifically those containing Data Shortcuts, must be imported through Civil 3D. These processes will upload a set of folders and files to Vault and work great for AutoCADВ® projects.

Non-CAD files such as PDF, Word, and Excel files can be added right through the thick client, while CAD files must be imported through a CAD application or by using the Vault Autoloader. There are several ways to upload data to Autodesk Vault, each with its own purpose and advantages. This article will guide you through the steps I take to prep a Civil 3D project and help you to successfully import a project without errors and performance issues. This process for prepping a project makes importing much smoother and ensures maximum project performance. Over the past seven years implementing and administering Autodesk Vault with Civil 3D, IвЂ™ve developed a process for preparing a project before importing that can also be used to clean up an existing Vault project with poor performance. Importing an AutoCADВ® Civil 3DВ® project to AutodeskВ® Vault can be a frustrating task and result in a project with poor performance if the project is not cleaned up and prepped before import.
