IMAGINiT Utilities for Vault Client

Improve Data Management Processes

Many organizations use Autodesk Vault for their data management needs. While it works well and provides many valuable tools, specific workflows are manual and potentially impossible for non-CAD users. IMAGINiT Utilities for Vault Client addresses some of these pressing needs of Vault Client users and runs directly inside Autodesk Vault products.

IMAGINiT Utilities for Vault Client is now compatible with Autodesk 2021 products. Watch for new utilities launching in the summer of 2020.

Automated STEP File Creation: Create STEP files on-demand or automatically tie them to a lifecycle transition.

IMAGINiT Utility Admin: Allows administrators to choose which utilities are shown and made available to users.

Link Generator: Retrieve URL links to the Vault Thin Client for selected files or items, making it easy to send information to others.
