Autodesk Vault Add-Ins For Design Applications - Autodesk 466B1-05A761-1304 - AutoCAD Inventor Simulation Suite 2010 Getting Started

Design teams use Autodesk Vault for version control and to store and share
all types of engineering files and related data. Files can be Autodesk Inventor,
AutoCAD
Office. They can be any other file used in the design process.
All versions of files that are checked into the vault are retained, along with
any file dependencies, providing a living history of the project. Team members
have access to the files and data stored on the server, and the history of files.
They check out files to prevent more than one member from editing the same
file at the same time. After a file is checked back into the vault, team members
can refresh their local copies.

Autodesk Vault Add-ins for Design Applications

Add-in clients provide basic vault functions within the environment of a
parent application, such as AutoCAD and Autodesk Inventor. Add-ins maintain
application-specific data relationships when adding files to a vault.
There are add-ins available for Autodesk
applications.
NOTE If an integrated client is available for a particular application, managing
files using that client minimizes loss of data, like assembly relationships. We
recommend that you use integrated clients whenever possible.
