View pertinent Vault details and manage file properties with Data Cards.
The Data Cards feature provides convenient summaries of the metadata assigned to a file or group of files through a single point of access. With data cards, you can determine a file's vault status, see a thumbnail of the file, and review and modify property information without leaving the Inventor application.
Whenever a part is selected on the CAD canvas or in the Model or Vault browser list, the part is highlighted on the canvas, in the list, and the data card automatically updates to show the relevant information for that part.
Similarly, if a data card is selected in a card deck, the part is selected on the CAD canvas and in the Model or Vault browser list.
