An example is the Inventor add-in. When data is added to a vault using the
Inventor add-in, the add-in preserves all the complex relationships that are
created by assemblies, drawings, presentations, and other files.
Autodesk Vault Client
The Vault Client is a general-purpose application for interacting with a vault
on the Autodesk data management server. You can browse the complete vault
structure, add any file to the vault, and perform most other file-based
operations, depending on your level of permission.
Autodesk Vault Add-ins for Design Applications
Add-in clients provide basic vault functions within the environment of a
parent application. Add-ins maintain application-specific data relationships
when adding files to a vault.
There are add-ins available for Autodesk and non-Autodesk design applications.
NOTE As a rule, if an integrated client is available for a particular application,
managing files using that client minimizes loss of data, such as the assembly
relationships. We recommend that you use integrated clients whenever possible.
Microsoft Office Add-in
The Microsoft Office add-in performs basic vault functions on documents,
spreadsheets, and other non-CAD data within any of the Microsoft Office
applications: Microsoft

Word, Excel
®
, and Power Point
®
.
Content Center
Content Center provides access to Autodesk Inventor Content Center libraries.
Content Center libraries are stored on the Autodesk data management server.
License Manager Components
Autodesk Vault Workgroup, Collaboration, or Professional require a license
for each client connection to the Vault sever. The following section describes
the components used to manage these licenses.
