I am still having trouble finding the installation for Vault.

We used Solidworks last season and the only reason that we were thinking of switching was because of vault. I have found the Solidworks version of vault on the installation disk, but I am still interested in figuring out how to get inventor to work.

From what I can gather, only the vault client is installed with Inventor. What I am looking for is ADMS (Autodesk Data Management Server). Does anyone have any ideas on how to get this?

Vault can be really neat, we're starting to phase it in at work. I don't have too much experience with it, but from what I've seen, it helps a lot when multiple people are working on/with the same model.

Also, on the subject of multiple people working on different subsystems, having frequent meetings to update everyone on the design can be really, really helpful and save time down the road, especially if everyone is in the same place as subsystems start to get integrated. Also, On a few of the larger projects I've worked on at my job, we've allotted volume for different components from the beginning and worked out some part inference issues without even drawing the entire part - it really saves a ton of time.

Still confused on where to actually get the vault server from
