Last year we did a class (“How to Use Fusion 360 and Inventor for Effective Designs”) where we linked Fusion 360 files with Inventor using Desktop Connector. The most requested addition to that was to link those files into Vault software, so this year we’ll go through some of the different configurations for how we can load and manage these Fusion 360 files in Vault. Some of the things we will look at include creating the connection and adding the files, as well as managing the files; and we’ll also discuss version and revisions of the files in Vault.

When used together, Vault Professional software and Fusion Lifecycle software provide a combined solution that is the best of all worlds for product data management (PDM) and product lifecycle management (PLM). While Vault runs on-prem to keep your CAD data safe behind your firewall, Fusion Lifecycle is cloud-based for flexibility and ease of deployment. With powerFLC (Vault Fusion Lifecycle connector), coolOrange offers an easy-to-use and flexible tool to combine Fusion Lifecycle and Vault processes. Previous versions of powerFLC included predefined workflows, and with the latest version of powerFLC, it is even possible to create custom workflows to synchronize any data between Vault and Fusion Lifecycle. This class will demonstrate the advantages of using both products together and show some of the endless possibilities of this integration.

2020 imposed upon us an unprecedented need to shift our workforces from office environments to remote ones. With this, many Vault users found themselves struggling to access their data, IT personnel had to scramble to set up previously unnecessary VPNs, and many companies found themselves struggling to maintain status quo amid the pandemic. Fusion Team is a suggested resolution to this data-access issue, but setting it up to work with Vault software without knowing the intricacies of that relationship will usually end with more frustrations than solutions. In this class, we will provide guidelines to maximize the efficiency and productivity of using Fusion Team with Vault software in order to keep your team up and running no matter what life throws at them.
