Autodesk Vault 2011
Help maximize return on your company’s investment in design data by driving design reuse
with the Autodesk® Vault product line. The product family consists of Autodesk® Vault,
Autodesk® Vault Workgroup, Autodesk® Vault Collaboration, and Autodesk® Vault
Professional. The Autodesk Vault product family helps design and engineering
workgroups manage the creation, simulation, and documentation processes. Users can
reduce time organizing models and files, manage change processes to avoid costly
mistakes, and more efficiently release and revise designs. The data management
software can be deployed as a standard configuration or tailored to unique requirements,
enabling users to
Focus on design innovation, not design data
Autodesk Vault securely stores and manages engineering information, design data and related documents, creating a digital pipeline that connects everyone involved in Digital Prototyping. With a wizard-based approach to setup, rich out-of-the-box tools to solve everyday problems, and a preconfigured release and change management workflow, Autodesk® Vault automates key processes at every stage of product development.

Top Ten Tips for Autodesk Vault 2011
Autodesk® Vault Workgroup 2011
Autodesk® Vault Workgroup software helps teams create and share design and
engineering project information by securely organizing, managing, and tracking
data in a central location. Ease of administration enables workgroup control of
data access and security, and facilitates team-based design across disciplines.
Because they can quickly manage their designs and track changes over time,
users gain productivity without disruption to their natural design workflows. In
addition, Vault Workgroup delivers lifecycle and revision control processes
directly in the design application, which promotes faster cycle times and betterquality
engineering data.
Autodesk® Vault Collaboration 2011
Autodesk® Vault Collaboration software includes all of the functionality in
Autodesk Vault Workgroup and adds an advanced toolset that provides
administrators with the scalability needed to manage large workgroups. Users
can share engineering design data with downstream data consumers using the
included web client and expose design-related information to the extended
enterprise by publishing to Microsoft® SharePoint®. Scalable multi-site
functionality enables companies to synchronize design data among distributed
workgroups, extending the reach of the digital model to the entire project team.
Autodesk® Vault Professional 2011
Autodesk® Vault Professional software, previously known as Autodesk® Vault
Manufacturing, securely stores and manages engineering information, design
data, and documents—shortening the design-to-build and manufacture process.
It includes multisite tools to connect workgroups across discrete locations,
helping the entire design chain collaborate and share project information. Take
full advantage of advanced functionality by giving design departments the tools
they need to track change orders, manage bills of materials (BOM’s), and
promote earlier collaboration through integration to expert business systems. In
addition, support for multi-CAD environments means that Vault clients using non-
Autodesk design products can aggregate and manage design data throughout its
lifecycle.
*Please note Autodesk Vault is supplied as part of the AutoCAD Inventor, Mechanical and Electrical Family.
