Welcome to Episode 3 in the Vault-based collaborations series.
00:15
In this episode, we'll be looking at the Shared Views and Project Sync Functionalities.
00:21
Our customers and other stakeholders are more distributed than ever in the way they work and the people they work with.
00:31
Maybe you are an engineering service provider using Inventor or non-software,
00:38
or an OEM contracting to engineering service providers.
00:43
Or maybe you need to communicate with a job shop or an external team of industrial designers.
00:52
As we move into the era of connection,
00:55
collaborating with external teams and better managing that collaboration should no longer be barriers to success.
01:02
Traditionally, collaborating on design decisions whether internally with sales or externally with customers,
01:10
involves email threads with screenshots.
01:14
Related notes are often non-digital and handwritten.
01:19
Also, emailing native 3D model files poses problems.
01:26
Many companies don't allow them because of the following concerns: Unprotected intellectual property,
01:34
restrictions in email file attachments,
01:37
IT regulations for installing non-corporate viewers or add-ons,
01:42
complex file structures containing multiple assembly files and added costs of viewers or other application software.
01:52
This traditional collaboration workflow is time consuming and error prone.
01:59
For example, miscommunications can lead to mistaken assumptions about product specifications.
02:08
The traditional workflow also slows down the decision making process.
02:13
Sometimes the product must be redesigned or reworked on the shop floor.
02:19
Shared views can help you avoid these problems.
02:23
Shared views provide a better way for designers, engineers, and visual artists to get feedback on their work-in-progress,
02:32
simplifying and speeding up review cycles.
02:36
It enables users to quickly create online visual representations from within desktop application,
02:44
and generate a link that can be shared with any stakeholder.
02:48
Stakeholders can then view a shared view, add comments, and mark up via the Autodesk Viewer,
02:56
and authors can review comments and see feedback they've received within the offering application and then respond if required.
03:07
The following video shows you how shared views work.
03:11
Autodesk Vault helps you to collaborate with your team, both inside and outside your organization.
03:18
Share a view of your design directly from inside Vault to create a 2D or 3D viewable of your design file,
03:25
which can be reviewed with virtually any cloud connected browser or handheld device.
03:32
Reviewers don't have to download or install any software to collaborate on your designs. They just need the secure web link.
03:40
Reviewers can navigate, section, explode, and measure your design.
03:47
All model information and structure can be shared with the reviewer.
03:52
In addition, reviewers can comment and mark up on your designs and all comments are logged and can be viewed in your Vault client.
04:00
Because the focus of this workflow is work-in-progress feedback, the 2D and 3D viewables are temporary visualization files,
04:09
not your native CAD data.
04:12
These temporary visualization files automatically expire unless extended by you.
04:19
Autodesk Vault shared views help you to connect and collaborate with your extended design team,
04:25
ensure that your designs are correct and coordinated,
04:28
and support review and commenting from non-CAD users with Autodesk Vault shared views.
04:34
Similarly to shared views, the Project Sync functionality provides a way for designers and engineers to share their work.
04:45
However, Project Sync makes all relevant design data accessible for everyone,
04:51
and ensures the right team members access the right design data at the right time throughout a defined process.
04:59
Since Vault Professional 2019, customers can automatically sync data with Fusion Team hubs,
05:08
and since the 2020 release, with BIM 360 Docs.
05:14
Automatically syncing files eliminates the need to download files and upload them and reduces opportunities for errors in transmission,
05:22
and resulting rework.
05:26
The following video shows project sync in action.
05:31
Autodesk Vault 2020 continues to improve design collaboration with Project Sync in Vault Professional,
05:38
directly in response to your feedback through the Autodesk community.
05:42
Working with our Vault customers who manufacture custom building products around the globe,
05:47
we see more and more projects that require design collaboration outside your company's firewall.
05:53
New in Vault Professional is Project Sync, a secure way to share just the data that you choose between Vault and BIM 360.
06:02
Autodesk Vault is purpose-built to help our customers efficiently manage their engineering data, improve collaboration within their teams,
06:10
and take control of the design development process.
06:13
BIM 360 is an online platform connecting your project teams and data in real time from design through construction,
06:21
supporting informed decision making throughout the project lifecycle.
06:25
Eliminate file sharing by email,
06:27
eliminate the need to download or upload files from an FTP site and reduce the opportunities for errors in transmission.
06:34
Now, your relevant design data is synced between Vault and BIM 360.
06:39
Upload from Vault to BIM 360, download from BIM 360 to Vault,
06:44
or set up specific folders to sync in both directions without the need for user interaction.
06:51
As the project administrator, you can control on a project by project basis which data should be pulled from BIM 360 to Vault,
06:59
pushed from Vault to BIM 360, or synced in both directions.
07:04
To be clear, it's not all your data, just the data that you choose will be synced with full permission control,
07:11
streamline collaboration by securely syncing selective data to your extended project teams.
07:17
With Autodesk Vault Professional and Project Sync, Autodesk Vault 2020 continues to build on your feedback from Autodesk ideas,
07:25
forums, and beta community with these usability improvements.
07:37
I hope this presentation was informative about leverage Vault as your enterprise solution across the globe and beyond the firewall.
07:47
I invite you to watch the next episode,
07:49
where we look at how the Job Processor is capable of automating certain tasks to increase your productivity,
07:56
and optimize business and collaboration processes.
08:00
Thank you very much for your time.
