Autodesk Vault

It helps design teams track work in progress and maintain version control in multi-user environments.

Vault Explorer functions as the client application and is intended to run alongside the companion CAD software.

All files and their associated metadata are indexed in the SQL base data management system and are searchable from the Vault client interface.

Other information about the files include version history, uses (composed of a list of children), "Where Used" (a list of all parents) as well as a light weight viewable in the form of the Autodesk Design Web Format (DWF) file which is automatically published upon check-in.

The company was founded on the basis of bringing a more affordable tool for managing engineering data to the market.
