Autodesk Vault and the value of Product Data Management

blog

Autodesk Vault Professional is the most advanced product data management (PDM) tool from Autodesk Collection in your engineering department. This way, you will seamlessly manage all the information about your digital design in one place. We have finally found a solution for designers and engineers, who work daily with large amounts of data. Thanks to Vault, project managers and sales employees can also work more efficiently with project data.

Control your engineering data 

Vault’s strengths are its ability to organize large amounts of data, manage revisions, and being able to find design information at speed. In an ideal situation, all of this would be seamlessly integrated into your organization. The software does most of the work, and your team handles it efficiently.

 Seamless integration with Autodesk CAD software

Autodesk data management software, Autodesk Vault Workgroup and Autodesk Vault Professional, is tightly integrated with Autodesk design applications such as Autodesk Inventor, AutoCAD Electrical, AutoCAD Mechanical, and other AutoCAD software. This deep integration makes it easy to manage data associated with your digital prototypes, from engineering to manufacturing, saving time and maintaining accurate data.

 Maximum copy facilities

Now it takes less time to copy more files, you’ll enjoy automatic file numbering, and managing files is easier than ever with the new dedicated Copy Layout UI window.

 Do you want to use AnyCAD? No problem.

You can add files from any other CAD system to Autodesk Inventor models check them out, and open them in Vault with the ability to also host those “reference files” along with the Inventor data.

Work with items and files alike

Don’t just protect files, also protect documents from items based on their status. You can also unify lifecycle controls and add document lifecycle flexibility to items.

 Down to the last detail 

Enhancements to the Materials list interface provide information directly with the BOM (Bill of Materials) view to facilitate more flexible and collaborative management of item BOMs.

We strengthen ties between design teams

In the face of crowd demands, Vault Office now includes more document versioning and change order capabilities for non-designers, making it easier for everyone.
