Vault

Product data management for CAD files: version control, revision history, and file relationships in one place. Vault ties directly into Inventor and AutoCAD, so nobody overwrites a file or works from the wrong revision.

Know which file is the real one.

Vault checks files in and out, tracks every revision, and maps the dependencies between parts, assemblies, and drawings. Your team stops emailing files around and starts working from one source of truth.

  • Check-in/check-out version control for CAD files
  • Automatic revision and change history
  • File relationships and where-used tracking
  • Direct integration with Inventor and AutoCAD

What you get with Vault

Version control that sticks

Every file gets checked in and out, so two people never overwrite the same part. Full revision history is there when you need to see what changed and who changed it.

File relationships, mapped

See where a part is used, what it depends on, and what breaks if you change it, across parts, assemblies, drawings, and their support files.

Autodesk Assistant built in

Ask Vault to find out-of-date drawings or flag a stalled change order in plain language, instead of digging through folders and BOM tabs by hand.

Work from anywhere

Check status and pull files from the mobile app, a browser-based thin client, or Vault Gateway, so remote and shop-floor teams stay on the same data.

Change order workflows

Route revisions through review, approval, and release with lifecycle states and change orders, so nothing ships without the right sign-off.

Direct CAD integration

Vault lives inside Inventor and AutoCAD, so checking a file in or out happens without leaving your design session.

Key capabilities

  • Version control without the guesswork: Check-in and check-out locks a file to one editor at a time, and every save is a tracked revision you can roll back to.
  • See what a change actually touches: Where Used and Bill of Materials views show every parent assembly and dependent file before you commit to an edit.
  • Route changes through real approval: Lifecycle states and change orders move a revision from work-in-progress to released, with a record of who approved what.
  • Reach your data from the field: The mobile app and browser-based thin client put file status and revision history in front of anyone who needs it, not just the CAD workstation.

Frequently asked questions

What is Autodesk Vault used for?

Vault is product data management software for CAD files. It checks files in and out, tracks revisions, and maps relationships between parts, assemblies, and drawings, so your team always works from the current version.

Which Vault edition fits my team?

Vault is sold in multiple tiers, from single-user version control for small teams up to enterprise-wide data management with multisite sync and change order workflows for larger organizations. Talk to DSI about which tier matches your team size and process.

Does Vault work with AutoCAD and Inventor?

Yes. Vault integrates directly with Inventor and AutoCAD, so checking a file in or out happens inside your normal design session instead of a separate application.

Can I access Vault data outside the office?

Yes. A mobile app, browser-based thin client, and Vault Gateway give remote and shop-floor users access to file status and revision history without a full desktop install.

How is Vault licensed and priced?

Vault is sold as an annual or multi-year subscription. Pricing depends on tier and seat count, so talk to DSI for a quote matched to your team and workflow.
