Autodesk Vault can manage, track, and organise design and engineering data throughout its lifecycle as a data management tool. It includes features for document management, version control, and collaboration.
You can generate PDF files within Autodesk Vault to capture and share design documentation.
Vault 2024 Professional has added new capabilities. STEP files can be generated to exchange 3D models with other software or systems that support the format. DXF files can also be created to share drawings in a widely compatible format.
Sovelia Vault is specifically designed as
an automation platform for Autodesk Vault. It offers additional features and
functionality tailored to enhance Autodesk Vault's capabilities. These features
provide enhanced flexibility, control, and customisation options for secondary
file format generation.
So, what are the differences between Vault
and Sovelia Vault, and why would you want to use Sovelia Vault instead? The

Fully configurable based on any property or fixed

For example, the file generated to vault can have a different name than a
file generated to an external folder, including the revision in the external
file name. |
|
Property Copy |
Can sync lifecycle state and revision to the vault
properties of the generated file. The single option applies to all generated
files of that type. |
Any properties from the source file can be
synchronised to the generated vault file. Fully and selectively configurable. |
|

In summary, Sovelia Vault builds upon the
core functionality of Autodesk Vault and provides advanced automation, customisation,
and flexibility for secondary file format generation. If you require extensive customisation,
automation, and additional file format generation capabilities, Sovelia Vault
can be a beneficial choice over Autodesk Vault alone.
Secondary file generation is just one of
many automation tools available within Sovelia Vault.
