Sharing files outside the company
Getting a drawing to a supplier without emailing it.
Emailing a drawing loses control of it the moment it's sent. Sharing from the vault keeps the link live, revocable and logged.
Creating a share
- Open the part or document and choose Share.
- Pick which files to include.
- Set an expiry date if the access should be temporary.
- Choose whether the recipient must sign a confidentiality agreement first.
- Send the link.
What the recipient sees
Only what you shared — no navigation into the rest of the vault, no other parts, no pricing. They can view and download the files included and nothing else.
What's recorded
- Who you shared with and when
- Every time they opened it
- Every file they downloaded
- Whether and when they accepted an agreement
Revoking
Open the share and revoke it. The link stops working immediately. This is the practical difference from email — you can withdraw access after the fact.
A share points at the part, not at a copy of the file. When you release a new revision, the recipient sees the new one. Nobody ends up building to a superseded drawing they were sent months ago.
Email [email protected] and a person will pick it up. Include the part number and what you were doing — it saves a round trip.
