Part of the Autodesk solution for Digital Prototyping,
the Autodesk
software helps you keep track of all your digital
design data. It securely stores and manages data
in a central location, helping teams quickly create,
share, and reuse digital prototyping information.
With Autodesk
Collaboration, and Autodesk
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.
You track and manage all data related to each digital
prototype in one secure, central location. And
because the Vault product family integrates with
Autodesk design applications, it’s easier and faster
than ever to manage accurate data from concept
through manufacturing.

Improve Productivity

You don’t need to recreate the wheel. The Autodesk
Vault family of products includes tools that help you
reuse data and minimize rework, so you can develop
products faster. Instead of starting a complex model
or drawing set from scratch, use a similar digital
prototype as a starting point for a new design.
Vault Workgroup, Vault Collaboration, and Vault
Professional improves productivity with functions
designed to help you track, find, and organize data
quickly. Saved searches and shortcuts speed
up data search, while productivity tools let
you manipulate design files without breaking
application-specific links. And data organiza­tion tools let you control indexing and access
across file types—so you can improve data
sharing and searching based on property sets.

Control Revisions

Making changes doesn’t have to interrupt your
workflow—you can control design iterations from
within your design application. The Vault product
line captures the history of design concepts, so you
can push the boundaries of your work, or revert to
older revisions if needed. Then use the Vault family
of products to secure, release, and track data revi­sions—granting team members access to only the
correct revisions of the files. With Vault Workgroup,
Vault Collaboration, and Vault Professional you
maintain control over the digital prototype as it
moves through the design and production process.

Data Management Tools

The Autodesk Vault family of products helps to
accelerate development cycles and optimize your in­vestment in design data with features that help you
organize, manage, and track key design and release
management processes. An enhanced set of features
facilitates:

•  Data management for workgroups

•  Data search and reuse

•  Administration and configuration

•  Revision Control

Data Management for Workgroups

The Vault family of products improves team productivity
without disrupting natural design workflows.

Connect Workgroups

Finish projects faster by enabling more engineers to
work on the digital prototype without overwriting
each other’s data.

Best-in-Class Integration with Autodesk
Design Software

Integrate the Autodesk Vault family of prod­ucts with Autodesk design applications such
as Autodesk
AutoCAD
This deep integration makes it easier to manage
data associated with your digital prototype from
engineering through manufacturing—saving time
and helping to preserve data accuracy.

Tool to Manage Microsoft Oce Documents

Vault Workgroup, Vault Collaboration, and Vault
Professional are fully integrated with Microsoft

Oce

, including Oce 2007. As a result, it’s
simpler to manage all aspects of digital prototyping,
including specifications, calculations, and presen­tations. Your entire workgroup can collaborate
on product development, which helps you get to
market faster.

Concurrent Design

Team members can work on a digital prototype
without overriding each other’s data thanks to
multiuser functionality. 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.
