This chapter is typically the part of the users which now need the PlantTools configuration files in the local Vault project to have PlantTools setup correctly.

To have a complete documentation we assume, that the project hasn't been opened on a machine before. So the user used "Open From Vault" to open the Vault project.

After logging in (not shown here) the user selects the project.

If the project is opened the first time you get this dialog unless it is suppressed.

After clicking on "Yes" the project files are downloaded.

You see the project now in Project Manager, but the first icon for the 4 files indicated, that the files are not available in the local project copy.

If we look in the "Related Files" folder, we see that it is empty.

We now select "Check Out..." on the "Related Files" folder, because we don't want to check out every file separately.

We select the "Related Files" folder which selects all of our 4 files.

After clicking on "Check Out" we see, that the files are available.

Now the files are available in our local project copy under "Related Files".

We also see the tooltip, that the files are checked out by us. This is not good, because now other colleagues (especially the Admin who is supposed to maintain the files) may not be able to check the files out.

So we check them in again, even though we didn't make any changes.

Again we select the "Related Files" folder.

All Files are selected automatically.

Now the files are checked in, but they are still in our local project copy.

Now you can start "PT_Unpack.bat" from the "Related Files" folder.

After which the PlantTools configuration files exist under the "ACPlantTools folder where the PlantTools expect them.
