You can access your Autodesk 360 Vault Server from within Alias.
Autodesk 360 Vault manages all your design and engineering files, regardless of the file type. Files can be Autodesk Alias, Autodesk Inventor, AutoCAD, Revit, Moldflow, 3Ds Max, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Outlook, or any other file used in a design's lifecycle. You can organize all of your files and keep them in one location for easy access. All file versions are retained, so you never misplace or replace past versions. The vault stores each version of a file, along with all the file's dependencies, giving you a living history of the project as you work on it. The vault also stores file properties such as the user name, date, and comments for rapid searching and retrieving.
In a design team, all the files and associated data are stored on the server so all users have access to the information and its history. Each member of a team must have a unique login name and password. Team members check out files to prevent more than one member from editing the same file at the same time. Once a file is checked back into the vault, team members can refresh their local copies of the model file to get the latest version from the vault, so all members of the design team work together.
The Autodesk 360 Vault integration with Alias brings the basic file management functionality of Autodesk 360 Vault into the designer's environment.
You must have the Autodesk 360 Vault Client installed and set up properly on your local machine for this functionality to work. For details, contact your system administrator.
When the 360 Vault Client is installed, the 360 Vault Server menu appears on the File menu. Using the 360 Vault Server commands in Alias, you can:
The very nature of a data management system requires that some planning be done to optimize file access and organization. We recommend all users not familiar with data management solutions to contact their Autodesk Authorized Reseller or Autodesk Professional Services for additional advice.
