Hello, When checking IDW's into Vault, I suggest NOT enabling the 3D Model option. There is no control for which files get published, and as you noted this makes a rather large DWF to check into Vault each time. If the goal is to export a single DWF with all data, you could use Vault to Pack and Go into a DWF Package. This will compile ALL DWF files including 3D Models from the IDW on down into a single DWF file for export. -- Brian Schanen Customer Success Engineer, Data Management Autodesk, Inc.

An overview of the common PDF publishing options was given. Irvin is a Product Manager on the Autodesk Vault team based in Novi, Michigan.
