The top workflow waste that managers want to eliminate is the need manually enter information from one system into another. This is often the case with BOM data in AutoCAD Mechanical. Vault streamlines that workflow by integrating with AutoCAD Mechanical and automatically updating BOM data.
For example, if a change is made to a BOM in AutoCAD Mechanical, the change is automatically captured by Vault. Similarly, if an item update in Vault generates new BOM values, the changes are also shown in the relevant BOMs in AutoCAD Mechanical.
