Revit Sheet Management with Vault 2012

This Subscription Extension is the latest release for Revit Sheet Management with Vault 2012.

With Autodesk® Vault®, integrating data management into your workflows is seamless and intuitive. The new Add Sheets command in Autodesk® Revit® will allow users to publish sheets directly to Vault, where they can be plotted and managed using Vault’s built in tools. Once sheets are added to the vault via this new command, users will be able to batch plot sheets to create print packages across several Revit files and maintain versions of sheets.
The new Subscription Extension also enables users to create visualization files of vaulted Revit data. This can be done after files are checked on demand or on checking utilizing the Vault Job Server.
