Autodesk Vault Data Management for Inventor, AutoCAD and Revit

Autodesk Vault

Design Consulting are Autodesk Vault and Data Management specialists. From large multi-site environments with 500+ users, to replicated environments to small 1 user solutions, we know which Vault to deploy, the IT infrastructure required, how to configure and understand various industry requirements to provide the right data management solution.

Vault can be deployed on-premise or in the cloud using your own infrastructure (private cloud) or hosted in Azure, AWS or another cloud service. Vault can also be synched with Autodesk Fusion Teams and BIM 360 to control what data goes outside your organisation and who has access.

On-Premise

Cloud Synch

Vault Features

Secure Data Management

Protect your Intellectual Property. Vault offers secure file encryption and granular user permissions and controls.

Advanced Data Management

Manage files, references, folders and metadata faster than ever before.

Audit Trail

Understand the history of files, version changes, and where files are being used, who accessed them and what they changed and when.

File Reference Management

Never lose file references again. Move files such as parts and sub-assemblies (Inventor) and XREFS and Vault automatically tracks references to the main design.

Copy Design

Easily copy large file datasets with references, rename and select what gets copied.

Shared Views

Share native files with external collaborators, while protecting IP. Review, mark up, and track comments.

Lifecycle Management

Automate revision table management and file lifecycle change states. Lock files once released to ensure files are not changed once they are released. Automate and track changes to files and metadata when revision are modified.

Job Processor

Automate manual file creation and other processes such as PDF, DXF, DWG, STEP, BOM, email notifications and many other steps required once files change state.

Automatic Numbering Schemes

Automate the file naming of new parts, manage part and project numbers and control duplicates.

Concurrent Design

Centrally manage projects and have multiple team members work on the same project without overwriting work.

Engineering Change Orders

Manage ECO/ECR's through a formalised process and audit trail.

Bill of Materials Management

Use items as records and build up bills of materials and lilnk them to files and projects without needing to be in the CAD authoring system. Export bills of materials to be imported into other systems such as ERP/MRP.

Mobile App

Stay up to date on your projects and collaborate with your team on your mobile phone or tablet while away from your desktop computer. Vault mobile app allows you to take your design data with you onto the shop floor, on-site, or out to meet your customer.

Thin Client

Perform read-access tasks and view design data, bill of materials, and change orders using the convenience of a web browser and your Vault credentials.

Vault Gateway

Access Vault data securely when working remotely without the need for a VPN connection.

Autodesk Inventor

Works with and understands Inventor assembly, part and drawing relationships. Compatible with Factory Design Utilities, Inventor CAM and other Inventor based products.

AutoCAD

Works with AutoCAD and AutoCAD related products and specialised toolsets such as AutoCAD Electrical, Civil 3D, Plant 3D and other DWG based Autodesk CAD systems.

Revit

Purpose built tools to manage Revit Projects and Families.

Industry Sectors

Vault for Construction

Autodesk Vault Professional supports Revit projects and families with custom tools for Revit. In addition it also has native support for AutoCAD, Navisworks and of course office documents.

With BIM 360 support, Autodesk Vault is perfect for BIM projects.

Lifecycle management and compliance features make it an ideal data management system for document control, archiving and ISO 19650 compliance.

Vault for Infrastructure

Like construction projects, Vault is well suited for BIM infrastructure projects as it also has native support for AutoCAD and Civil 3D, with the ability to run the Vault client from the prospector tree.

Audit trails, compliance workflows and secure access make Autodesk Vault an excellent choice.

Vault for Manufacturing

Autodesk Vault has native support for AutoCAD, Inventor, AutoCAD Electrical and Factory Utilities.

Best suited for manufacturing with features such as file reference management, copy design, automatic numbering schemes, change order module and bill of materials management.

Vault for Oil & Gas

Autodesk Vault supports Plant 3D, giving you the ability to setup plant projects straight out of Vault.

Integrated into Plant 3D, Vault features can be managed form the Plant 3D project manager.

Vault for Utilities

As Autodesk Vault supports so many Autodesk and non Autodesk CAD application, office applications and has an open API to integrate with external services (e.g. dial before you dig), it makes it perfect for multidisciplinary sectors such as Utilities who use a mix of BIM and Manufacturing tools on construction projects and sub-station design

Deployment Types

Vault Basic

Vault Professional

Upgrading and Migrating

Autodesk Vault Basic can be upgraded to Vault Workgroup or Vault Professional and Vault Workgroup can be upgraded to Vault Professional.

As new releases of Autodesk Vault are available, while client software is easy enough to install, the Vault Server, database and filestore needs to be migrated for it to function on the new release.

Extending Vault

Vault functionality can be extended in a variety of ways in terms of connecting to cloud collaboration systems, ERP and customising its use to do more than manage Office and CAD files and folders.
