    Autodesk provides a variety of online services, such as Wiki Help, Document storage, Rendering, Autodesk Labs, and so on. Online service access is being made an integral part of the product or suite experience. The following service is available from within the Autodesk Inventor LTproduct.

    Online Storage

    You can store design documents, libraries, and design data online for accessing from a different site or by those with whom you collaborate. The Save & Send process is similar to Pack and Go, except more automated.

    The online tools are available from three locations:

    • Online tab
    • Application menu
    • Quick Access Toolbar (QAT)

    Documents

    The source file is the active document. The destination is automatically created using the document name as a folder name. If the name already exists a new version of the files are created. The active project file provides the paths to the referenced files. You have the option to create DWF files along with the upload of your project data.

    Libraries and Linked Files

    Libraries and linked files are considered required documents for the process. There is not an option to exclude these files. Not all included files support DWF output. Those that do not support DWF are automatically set to No. All other files default to Yes.

    Design Data & Templates

    Design data and templates do not necessarily have to be retained for the success of this process. These are set to be excluded by default. You have the option to include the files.

    Selection

    Multi-select is supported. The selected value is applied to all selected objects in the dialog box.

    Procedures

    Save and Send to Cloud

    To store the current document online, do the following:
