Autodesk Vault 2012 software is now fully integrated with Autodesk Navisworks software. This pivotal new integration provides customers in the factory design, architectural, engineering, and construction industries a key connection to critical project data being stored and managed within Vault. Integration with Vault 2012 software means that Navisworks users can now securely draw in content from a multitude of CAD sources for aggregation, simulation, clash detection, and visualization, enabling reliable data management of your aggregated model data.
A large part of maintaining this accurate model is controlling access to and updating a single centralized model repository. You can now aggregate vaulted data directly from within Navisworks. Perform clash detection using up-to-date information from Vault – then quickly and securely share the results with your team. Users can even leverage vaulted project data to compare multiple iterations for design reviews.
Now, here’s a tip that you’ll need to use before Vaulting Navisworks data. The Vault Ribbon tab is off by default. To enable, go to Options, expand Tools, click Vault, and put a check in the box to ‘Show in User Interface’.
This new integration incorporates the ribbon user interface found in many Autodesk applications, such as Inventor, AutoCAD, Revit, offering a unified user experience as users open and append models directly from Vault. Simple access to Vault via the ribbon UI makes it easy to maintain your Navisworks model even with the most complex mix of data sources.
