Under the Hood - All things PDM and PLM

Autodesk Vault 2025.2 delivers new features and enhancements that Vault subscribers can take advantage of right away. Whether you’re among the many who have relied on Vault product data management (PDM) for years, or just getting started, this post will help you understand what’s new.

Watch the overview video below to see some of the new features in action and read on to learn more about what’s new in Vault 2025.2.

Autodesk Vault 2025.2 Highlights

Vault Data APIs

Now available through Autodesk Platform Services, Vault Data APIs can help you unlock the full potential of your design and engineering data. These APIs make it possible to integrate Vault with SaaS cloud applications like Autodesk Platform Services (APS), Microsoft Team, PowerBI, SAP, and more. This helps enable real-time data access and automations, increase productivity, and extend collaboration capabilities with greater flexibility and scalability.

Client deployment enhancements

In recent releases, we’ve improved the way administrators can deploy their client configurations, and in Vault 2025.2 we’re continuing that effort by adding the following capabilities: Vault Client Options, Copy Design, and Vault add-in settings. With these added options for deployment, you can ensure a consistent experience for all users in your organization.

Hyperlink UDP

User defined properties, or UDPs, have been an essential capability of Vault for years by allowing companies to store key information about their product data. Now in Vault 2025.2, we’ve added the ability to create properties that contain hyperlinks or an email address. The property link is clickable and helps you further extend your collaboration capabilities within your organization.


Vault Data Standard enhancements

For companies taking advantage of Vault Data Standard, we’ve enhanced folder selection by replacing the old breadcrumb method with one that is easier to use, and requires fewer clicks, especially for nested structures. It will remember the last used folder as a preset for the next new file, allows for new folder creation, and gives you the ability to search in the tree folder, all while providing better performance than the previous method.

Account name column

In Vault, we previously added support for multiple account types to provide flexibility for user management. This included standard Vault accounts, Autodesk ID, and Windows Authentication.

In Vault 2025.2, we’ve made it easier for administrators to easily find user specific account information by adding the Account Name column to the user management dialog. This will display the username information for each enabled authentication method. Combined with the Accounts column that indicates the account type, it will simplify the management of a large number of users.
