Autodesk Vault includes customer-requested enhancements to help engineering teams create and manage their data effectively and efficiently. To support a better downstream communication to external manufacturing, and support external design collaboration, a new capability to sync engineering design data with manufacturing suppliers and external consultants has been added. In addition, the 2019 release marks the next step forward with an enhanced design experience for CAD users such as checking out files within Inventor BOM dialog as well as keeping the Vault BOM and CAD BOM in sync. Finally, new custom role capabilities were added to allow administrators to create and manage additional roles.
Facilitate External and Internal Collaboration
Easily connect your design data with suppliers and external consultants, as well improve internal collaboration making sure team members outside engineering access the right design version.
Companies need to collaborate on CAD documents with external consultants, customers, and suppliers. The documents are often shared and collaborated on across a company firewall. It is essential that the right files are made available at the right time, and that they can be exchanged with ease regardless of their size or the number of documents.
Project Sync within Vault Professional 2019 provides file and folder synchronization between Vault and supported Autodesk cloud drive, Fusion Team.
Cloud Drive mapping and filter capabilities help the administrator control and specify the subset of data to be shared with a specific collaborator. In addition, all referenced data and Project Links are collected and shared automatically.
Project Sync includes the following:
Supported Cloud Drives
To access the Fusion 360 drive, first install Desktop Connector.
The following enhancements have been made to Shared Views:
By adding a configuration option for the Administrator to show only the latest released versions in the History tab of the Thin Client, the team members outside engineering can access the right latest released design data.
Autodesk Vault 2019 continues to focus on engineering productivity by enhancing the overall design workflows.
Now you are able to send a hyperlink through email to managed folders in Vault.
Microsoft Report Viewer 2015 is now included with Vault Workgroup and Vault Professional. The sample templates have been migrated to 2015.
When viewing the Item Master, you can now see whether primary, secondary, or design document file links need to be refreshed. This helps you make sure the CAD BOM and Vault BOM are in sync.
The Roles Permission dialog is now the Roles Management dialog. Here you can create, edit, copy, and delete custom roles. The dialog now contains the role descriptions making it easier to manage roles.
When you create or copy a role, you can add or remove permissions as needed.
Vault Data Standard is now available in the Vault client install and utilities section, not as a separate installer as before.
