Chapter 19: Teamwork Vault Client and Civil 3D
Overview
Now it's time to pull it all together. Every chapter to this point has been focused on individual tasks or design elements. In this chapter, we'll look at using Vault to assemble the pieces into a complete set of plans. Although we won't create every single note on every sheet, we will attempt to look at the various plans and how they come together.

-
Create data references
-
Restore a previous version of a design file
