The primary collaborative environment for Autodesk Inventor is Autodesk Vault Basic.
Autodesk Vault Basic is an engineering data management system that offers file security, version control, and multi-user support. By using Autodesk Vault Basic, you have a copy of the necessary project data in your workspace. All previous versions are maintained in a vault repository, which can be either on your own computer or on a shared server. Autodesk Vault Basic manages a collaborative work environment by tracking file versions. Other users can get the latest version of data, modify it, and check the changes back into the vault.
Note: Autodesk Inventor also continues to support two other legacy project environments: shared and semi-isolated. Discuss these project types with your system administrator or CAD Manager if your site is currently using either.
