Vault Professional software is a powerful tool for data management, relying heavily on meta (property) data. Do you know how to access them? Where you can access them? How to create mappings to your CAD files? And how to use this information not only in Vault Professional, but on your CAD files themselves? See examples from the speaker’s own Vault Professional setup to learn about the power of property data, how to use it, and how to share it.

Wait, what? You can create a bill of materials (BOM) in AutoCAD software? In this class, we’ll explore the options for creating a BOM in AutoCAD and the embedded tools within AutoCAD Mechanical software. We'll export the BOM both manually and automatically. We'll check in the drawing to Vault Professional software, and use Vault software's tools to manage and manipulate the BOM. Then we'll explore our options for sharing the BOM with ERP (enterprise resource planning), Autodesk PLM 360 software, Microsoft SharePoint, and other systems.

Bills of materials (BOMs) serve several purposes throughout a product lifecycle. While BOM data is usually created by CAD designers and managed in product data management (PDM) systems such as Vault software, it also needs to be shared with departments outside engineering where BOM information is used for production planning, assembling, or purchasing. Each of these steps requires a different view of the same BOM. Sometimes BOMs even need to be extended with information such as "work stages" or "work orders.” Sharing and enriching BOM information is usually done in systems other than Vault, such as Fusion 360 Manage or enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. This class will explore bills of materials and their different uses. We'll showcase different ways to share BOM data among product lifecycle management (PLM) systems, PDM systems, and ERP systems. And we’ll analyze the available APIs to help you implement BOM workflows among Vault Professional (PDM), Fusion 360 Manage (PLM), and ERP systems.

The presentation will contain a small description of overall usage in GEA and the standardization we are trying to achieve; but the larger part of the presentation will be about how our department uses iLogic, iParts, and iAssemblies to automate our designs to drastically reduce both engineering hours and the chance of errors. We’ll show some of our automated designs and share some of the iLogic we used to do this.

This course will examine how to create custom Vault reports from user templates. Sometimes we need to modify existing Vault reports to user/company needs. This modification may range from something as simple as jazzing the report up with the company header to the more complex task of specializing with multifiltered tables and a detailed header with Vault metadata shown. All of this is possible with Vault reporting and Visual Studio 2015 software. You don't have to be a programmer to make these changes and to wow your company with professional report features in Vault.

To move past the basics of Vault software into the area of drawing revisions, approvals, security, and advanced property management, you need to deal with lifecycles. In this class, we’ll look at Vault lifecycles. We’ll configure lifecycles and discuss how they’re used in the revision process and how they set the rules for state changes. As a cherry on top, we’ll dive into setting up Vault to generate PDFs at various steps along the process.

Both Vault Professional software and Fusion 360 Manage software enable you to delegate, track, and manage your data changes. While Vault Professional focuses on CAD-related changes, Fusion 360 Manage enables you to manage any data stored in the application. With powerPLM, COOLORANGE offers an easy-to-use and flexible tool to combine Fusion 360 Manage and Vault Professional processes. This class demonstrates how to use powerPLM to synchronize CAD design changes between Fusion 360 Manage and Vault Professional.

Vault product data management (PDM) software helps designers and engineers better organise design data, enhance documentation management, and streamline revision processes of their product data. Product data is not exclusively used by development teams, but should also be available outside the engineering department. On the other hand, the engineers require data from upstream processes such as sales orders and specifications. And that's where a product lifecycle management (PLM) system like Fusion Lifecycle software comes into the play. Fusion Lifecycle serves as a company-wide information source for activities before, during, and after development actions, supported by automated processes. In this class, we will have a look at how both worlds (PDM and PLM) can be tied together to streamline the workflows throughout the whole product development cycle.

Do you have challenges managing data while working in project teams? Are your projects teams spread out geographically? Are you constantly emailing drawing files to project team members? If so, then this class is for you. During this session we will dig into the tools and explore tips and techniques that will enable you to successfully implement Vault Professional software to manage the project delivery process. We will pay special attention to categories, lifecycles, and revision schemes, as well as to methods for effectively collaborating with external partners.

Come and learn multiple methods that can be used with Vault Professional software to share and collaborate with people outside your company. You already know that Vault will help you collaborate with others within your network. But what about everyone else? Do you work with people on your projects that are not in your network? Of course you do. Do you want to find better ways to collect, control, and collaborate on the project data when you have distributed teams? I think we all know the answer to that question. Attend this class, and we will show you multiple ways to use Vault Professional to achieve your goals.

While Vault Professional software has many out-of-the-box features that meet most organizations’ needs, there are sometimes circumstances that require a more complex implementation. Join us as we review three implementations that required custom solutions to meet each organization’s needs. These solutions used everything from Data Standard to powerJobs to powerGate to deliver a robust solution. Each implementation brought with it its own challenges and complexities to overcome. But in the end, each organization saw benefits of implementing these advanced solutions. In this class, we’ll review the questions that needed to be asked in order to see these projects through to success. We’ll highlight the similarities and differences of each project, review any lessons learned, and provide best-practice recommendations.
