- [Instructor] At this point in the process we want
to begin adding files to our PDM vault.
So let's go ahead and do that.
Here on my desktop you see I've got a design library.
This is a folder of parts that I've been building
over the years and I kind of transfer it
with me from job to job.
It's only about 3 1/2 gigs large right now.
So not too big, but its got a lot of information in it.
So let's see about moving this whole folder
and all these files down into our vault.
So we start by clicking on our PDM vault
and signing in.
You notice here that just our first folder
from before is available.
So I'm going to go ahead and go over to my design library.
Right click, hit copy, go in here.
First, left click to activate the white area.
Right click and hit paste.
Now here you'll notice
that there's a new copying files window that comes up.
This is linked into the PDM.
It looks a little more traditional
and not really Windows seven-esque, if you will,
or Windows ten-esque, but goes back to an older version
of the copy window, but you can tell here
that it's pulling everything into PDM.
It'll always have this kind of style
to the dialogue boxes.
So now we just sit here and wait and watch it do it's thing.
Alright, after we waited for all those files to move over,
we can see that our design library is now
in our local vault.
I'm going to go ahead and change my view to details
so we can see a little bit more.
Goin' in, I'm going to look through some of my purchased parts
that I've got in here.
Let's go down and check out some nice Mcmaster-Carr parts.
Oh, let's look at our ball valves, alright.
So you can see now that I've added all these parts in,
they maintain the same folder structure,
the same file names, all that stuff,
but right now, they're checked out by me,
and their version, as you can see, they don't have one.
Data cards aren't populated, don't exist,
and there's no preview, so we've got to go in
and do some administrative work to clean this up.
But the one thing to note right now
is while we've added these file to our local view,
it won't be until we check them in that they'll be added
to the vault view for everyone,
so in the next video we're going to be going over what it takes
to check in and check out a file.
So move one to the next video to see that process.
