Now we need to link the 4 files to the "Related Files" node in Project Manager.

Use the Plant 3D Project Manager NOT the PlantExpressTools PlantProjectManager.

You then select the file from the "Related Files" folder.

They appear in Project Manager now.

Next you check them into Vault.

It is important that all files are checked in. Only then other users can check them out to get a local copy.

After they are checked in, the first icon shows the simple round circle.

You may ask: "Why zip the files at all? Why not just copy the configuration files under Related Files?". During testing for this work-around Vault behaves strangely if the files exist also under "Related Files". In this case the files showed as locked by current user in Project Manager even if this was not the case.
