Automatic File Naming with Autodesk Vault Workgroup
April 28, 2009 10:33 PMby Brian SchanenIntroducing a new feature within Autodesk Vault Workgroup - Automatic File Naming. Now, Auto File Rename for files has been in Productstream for a few releases, and the ability to auto generate Item number automatically has been there as well. The concepts in these featues have been combined into a new feature that assigns a filename during a Save on a new file from AutoCAD or Inventor. I have created some video tutorials on these new Vault Workgroup features. and these are posted to the Autodesk Channel on YouTube. Enjoy!

Official Autodesk Vault Podcast Episode 2 - Lifecycles and Security
April 15, 2009 09:47 PMby Brian SchanenBased off the previous write up of Lifecycles Definitions, this post will introduce the concept of Lifecycles and how they help control security on files with Autodesk Vault Workgroup.
Vault Workgroup provides control over the critical aspects of design data as it graduates through its stage of life ensuring people get access to the correct data at the right time. By applying lifecycle states directly on files, users can apply and change file security during state transition, providing an advanced set of access control.
Note: in this video podcast I am using Vault Manufacturing 2010 for the demo (you’ll notice it in the titlebar), but the features and workflows are available starting in Vault Workgroup.
