    Improving Communication and Increasing Productivity with Autodesk Vault Professional®!

    The Challenge

    As Atlantis Strength rapidly grew, so did their need for data management. They struggled with efficient communication between the manufacturing and engineering teams, and often found that their projects took longer than necessary due to the lack of centralized information. Despite their highly skilled staff, it was difficult to keep information up to date. This reduced productivity and prevented the team from working at their full potential, causing massive delays.

    The Solution

    Atlantis Strength realized that their workflow needed improving and that efficient communication was crucial to the productivity of their team. Searching for a solution, they reached out to SolidCAD and asked what their best option was. SolidCAD’s representative introduced them to Vault Professional, the product data management software that would help streamline their current manufacturing workflow.

    Vault Professional has allowed the company to easily manage all their design and engineering data and take control of their product development processes. Staff can work from data without worrying about out-of-date documents that could result in engineering errors or miscommunication between departments.

    The Results
    • Project completion time has reduced significantly, resulting in their productivity improving by 75%.
    • Staff has immediate access to the latest versions of designs, reducing the amount of design errors.
    • Communication between teams has greatly improved.

    Sharing is Caring

    Posted on by SolidCAD

    In todays manufacturing world there is a bigger demand on sharing data with all stakeholders outside your company.  This could be your supplier, buyer, manufacturing team and they could require viewing the drawing to the 3D model that you create.  Using Autodesk Vault you can created a shared view for your outside stakeholders and value chain.  Autodesk provides this as a free viewer, markup and comments, all they would need to do is sign up for a free Autodesk account.  Also Share View is a great tool to use internally as well to do digital markups and collaboration outside the engineering department.

    To use Share View simply log into Autodesk Vault and find the model or drawing you would like to share and right click and select Share View:

    You may be prompted to login using your Autodesk account, once you have logged in the Create a Shared View dialog box will prompt you to enter a name:

    Copy Link – This is the link you can email to your stakeholders for them to open and view online.

    View in Browser – this will open the shared view in your browser for you to view.

    Clicking on View in Brower it will launch the Share View online:

    This view will only be available for 30 days on Autodesk Viewer.  Only users who are invited though the link or when selecting share will have access to the model or drawing.

    Once singed in users can markup, add comments and when clicking on share, it will send the users in Vault a notification that someone has made a comment on the drawing.

    To make a comment simply select comments to type a comment directly.  Anytime you click on Markup the markup changes will be saved on the comments tab when you select Post.


    In Vault client to view the comments or markups make sure that Shared Views Panel is turned on.  If not turned on simply go to View > Shared Views and make sure there is a check mark beside Shared Views:

    PART 2 : Bill of Materials (BOM) Transfer from Vault to Fusion Lifecycle 

    Posted on by SolidCAD

    This is the second in a three-part series of Fusion Lifecycle videos. This video, will focus on the Bill-of-Material transfer from Autodesk Vault Professional to Autodesk Fusion Lifecycle.

    Vault Pro and Fusion Lifecycle can be integrated allowing data to move between the two systems. When Designers and Engineers have completed their work in CAD and Vault Pro, they will Release the assemblies.  The Bill-of-Materials is then extracted from Vault and transferred to Fusion Lifecycle as an Items BOM.  In Fusion Lifecycle, the BOM can be managed by adding or removing items.  When complete, the BOM is advanced to the Approval Stage using Fusion Lifecycle’s Bill of Materials Management capabilities.
