Frequently, this involves multiple to find sheets and sheet sets based on properties in CAD applications. A number of new integrations the Sheet Set Manager. Sheets are represented within available with the 2012 release of Vault provide the Project Explorer environment, indicating the expanded coverage of Digital Prototyping and Building relationship between sheets and associated drawings. Information Modelling (BIM) solutions, ranging from simulation to technical publication. AutoCAD Integration Autodesk Vault has always offered best-in-class integration with AutoCAD® software. The current release of Autodesk Vault takes integration with AutoCAD even further with a new revision table feature and a direct integration within the Sheet Set Manager. Revision Block The 2012 release of Autodesk Vault provides new Revision Table support between Vault revisions and Request Ownership CAD platforms. An administrator can map Vault In a connected workgroup (full replication) environment, revision data into Autodesk® Inventor® revision tables you can request ownership while you are working and AutoCAD revision blocks. You can now use the within your CAD application without leaving the automated revision-bumping rules to update revision application. Specifically, you can request, extend or tables directly on a drawing. As a file is managed by release ownership of the files you currently have open Vault and a revision is bumped, the table adds a new in the CAD application. This integration enables users row to communicate this change. to remain within their CAD package, saving time and streamlining workflows. Digital Prototyping Integration The Autodesk solution for Digital Prototyping bridges the gaps that typically exist among conceptual design, engineering and manufacturing teams. Autodesk Vault software helps to manage and track design components for a digital prototype, allowing you to design, visualise and simulate complete products more effectively. Autodesk Inventor Autodesk Vault 2012 software provides deeper integration with Autodesk Inventor software as Items and Change Orders are available through the Open and Place from Vault commands. This gives Inventor users seamless access to all necessary Vault information. Sheet Set Manager Autodesk Vault 2012 software now integrates with the AutoCAD Sheet Set Manager for supported AutoCAD products. This integration enables you to add, access and modify sheet sets in a collaborative environment. Vault Collaboration and Vault Professional software also enable multisite workflows for sheet set users. In addition, users can rely on the up-to-date Vault status on sheet drawings within the Sheet Set Manager. 3 Autodesk Vault Products 2012 Technical What’s New Autodesk Simulation Autodesk Inventor Fusion The new integration of Autodesk Vault 2012 with Autodesk® Inventor® Fusion software changes the way Autodesk® Simulation 2012 software provides users people work with 3D mechanical design data and sets with more control over design and simulation data with new ease-of-use standards for 3D modelling in native revision-management capabilities and enables them to DWG™ file format. Vault integration with Inventor find and reuse that data quickly for easier management Fusion helps to expand the capabilities of AutoCAD, of design and engineering information. Inventor, Autodesk® Moldflow® and Autodesk Simulation products, enabling users to work intelligently with and edit 3D data from virtually any source. BIM Integration Today, BIM is breaking down barriers and bridging communication between extended design and construction teams, providing consistent and reliable information across the scope of a project. Vault integration with Autodesk products for BIM helps project teams to manage and track digital models; secure, organise and access project documentation; and facilitate team collaboration. Autodesk Revit Autodesk Vault Workgroup, Collaboration and Professional software now integrate with Autodesk® Revit® Architecture, Autodesk® Revit® MEP and Autodesk Inventor Publisher Autodesk® Revit® Structure software to help connect Autodesk Vault 2012 integration with Autodesk® your Revit designs with the rest of the project data. Inventor® Publisher software helps technical Supporting the Revit work sharing feature, the Revit documentation teams to work concurrently with central model is captured during the Sync with Central engineering teams. Product documentation can start function, meaning that Revit users do not need to earlier in the design cycle, helping you to get your modify their standard workflows to work with a vault. products to market on time. As project models are added to a vault, the linked file relationships are captured automatically, tracking where models are used and providing a “where-used” analysis to understand the impact of changes. Use the Autodesk Vault integration with Revit in concert with Revit Server to connect dispersed user groups for improved model-sharing tools. Use Vault products to manage content and drive content standardisation by controlling the release of approved content for consumption by the project team. Revit users can use the
