What is Autodesk Vault?
Reduce errors and promote design reuse by consolidating product information in a single location that allows you to track your design data and manage work-in-process without manual, paper-based processes. Autodesk offers two data management applications to help you make the most of your investment in existing design data, automate key processes, and securely manage work-in-process data. Built into AutoCAD® Mechanical 2005, AutoCAD® Electrical 2005, Autodesk Inventor® Series, and Autodesk Inventor® Professional, Autodesk® Vault makes data management more efficient by organizing your design data and protecting it from inadvertent changes. This easy-to-use data management tool makes work-in-process data more accessible and reusable while avoiding the versioning problems inherent in sharing files among workgroups. Most importantly, Autodesk Vault is tightly integrated with your Autodesk design applications, making data management easier than ever.
