Copy Designs Using Vault

The Copy Design function in Autodesk Vault copies an Inventor design with
all related files to create another design. Use Copy Design to copy an entire
assembly structure, including all related 2D drawings and 3D models, to derive
a new design. Copy Design preserves the relationships and can eliminate hours
of rework. For example, an existing part and the related drawing file are copied
and assigned new names. The new part and drawing are fully associative to
each other. The dimensions and view layout from the original source document
is preserved in the new drawing.
In the Copy Design dialog box, you can choose which parts of an existing
design to copy, reuse, exclude, or replace. You can define a naming scheme
for the files you copy to the new design. Alternatively, you can choose to add
a prefix and a suffix to the file names automatically. If the original file names
end in an integer, you can choose to automatically increment the names. You
can rename presentation files and drawing files to match the names of their
direct part or assembly source.
