Pathtrace has announced support for Autodesk Vault, the foundation of Autodesk's data management product with the EdgeCAM 10.0 release Autodesk Vault is a key component of Autodesk Inventor Series software

As Autodesk's global preferred CAM partner, Pathtrace said it is committed to providing tight integration with the Autodesk Inventor range of products.

The latest release of EdgeCAM links directly to Vault.

CAD designs and EdgeCAM part files are stored in a secure centralised location, allowing engineers to easily find and store data by version number.

Associativity is maintained between the different data sets and additional file properties, such as machine tool, operator and time and date details are stored with the EdgeCAM part file.

File properties are searchable in Windows Explorer, making it easier to organise, find and utilise valuable EdgeCAM data.

David Boucher, Pathtrace marketing director commented: "As Autodesk's partner we will continue to offer industry leading level of integration between EdgeCAM and the Autodesk Inventor Series products.

Our Autodesk Inventor customers today increasingly use Autodesk Vault for data management and naturally expect EdgeCAM data to utilise the benefits of that solution." Richard Runnells, senior manager of manufacturing partner programs at Autodesk, said: "We are pleased that yet again Pathtrace is at the forefront in CAD/CAM interoperability by extending integration to include the data management arena.

This commitment to the Autodesk Inventor Series product further demonstrates the strength of our global partnership and further enhances EdgeCAM's position as the standard in solids-based machining.".
