User manual AUTODESK AUTODESK VAULT PRODUCTS BROCHURE

[. . . ] With Autodesk® Vault Workgroup, Autodesk® Vault Collaboration, and Autodesk® Vault Professional you'll spend less time chasing down files and more time creating innovative designs. Connect Your Teams Enhance team productivity with support for teambased design. The Autodesk Vault product line lets you work closely with others on projects without putting design data at risk. Multi-user functionality lets you control access to design data so your entire workgroup--from managers to engineers and designers--can participate in the design process. [. . . ] Team members check out a design before making modifications, then check it back in when they're done. With everyone working together, you can better balance resources, speed projects to completion, and meet tight deadlines. Vault Access for Nondesigning Workgroup Members Give every member of your team access to Autodesk Vault Workgroup, Vault Collaboration, and Vault Professional. Even non-CAD users can add, review, and manage data relevant to a digital prototype. 3 Data Search and Reuse Shorten product development time--don't waste your work. The Vault product family helps you find digital design data, and reuse it whenever possible. Preview Interactively with Autodesk Design Review Publish design data as DWFTM files so non-CAD users can view, print, and mark them up using Autodesk® Design Review software. Optimized Data Reuse Save hours of design time--stop manually recreating or duplicating complex models and drawing sets. The Vault product family lets you copy a digital prototype--including all related files and documentation--for use in a new design. It also makes it easier to configure the files you want to replace, reuse, or copy. Productivity Tools for File Maintenance Edit and manipulate design files without breaking important application-specific links such as AutoCAD xrefs or Autodesk® Inventor® file relationships. By maintaining design integrity, you save hours of manual cleanup work. Immediate `Where Used' Analysis Understand the impact of a design change on multiple projects--before you make it. Track relationships between design files and view where specific files are used in each project. Improved Data Organization and Search with Property Management Control property indexing and access across file types. Specify which rich attribute, text, and property data embedded in design files is captured and exposed for queries, filtering, and data organization. Improve data sharing and quick and accurate searching based on property sets. Quick and Simple Searching Use a range of methods, such as saved searches and shortcuts, to find and organize data. The Vault product line minimizes the time it takes to find information, so you can spend more time designing and less time hunting for data. 4 Revision Control Keep control of revisions, from inside your design application. Track changes and versions, helping to reduce manufacturing and design errors and speed cycle times. Utilities to Batch-Plot Design Data Create, manage, and reuse print or plot jobs for all managed files. Autodesk Vault Workgroup, Vault Collaboration, and Vault Professional fully support watermarking and stamping, so you spend less time on administrative tasks. Design Concept Exploration Capture the history of your design concepts with the Vault product family. You can iterate new ideas or revert to old ones, arriving at a final digital prototype more quickly. Create labels or snapshots that make it easier to reference and restore designs. You have the potential to reduce the overhead, errors, and lost data associated with manual backup and copy methods. Intuitive Revision Management Audit and track the revision history of your data files from a single location. [. . . ] Multi-Site functionality enables companies to synchronize design data among distributed workgroups, extending the reach of the digital prototype to the entire organization. Autodesk® Vault Professional Autodesk® Vault Professional software, securely stores and manages engineering information, design data, and documents ­ shortening the design-to-manufacturing process. It helps design, engineering and manufacturing departments collaborate and share digital prototyping information with multisite tools to connect workgroups across discrete locations.
