Autodesk Vault
Autodesk's on-premises product data management (PDM) system designed for teams using Inventor, AutoCAD, and other Autodesk design tools to manage and version CAD files. Vault provides check-in/check-out, revision history, access control, and bill of materials management in a locally hosted environment.
Why it matters
For Autodesk-centric engineering teams that are not ready for cloud deployment — or that require on-premises data residency — Vault provides structured CAD data management that eliminates the version chaos of shared drives while staying within a familiar Autodesk workflow.
