NEWS YOU CAN USE:

Autodesk Labs has recently posted updates to a couple of utilities that I think you should check out.

Project Freewheel allows the posting of DWF files to an Autodesk website and allows you to send a link to a client or other party you would like to have view the DWF file, without requiring them to download and install the DWF Viewer. Be careful, we don't know how well protected this site is and proprietary information may be vulnerable!

Vault Mirror will allow users of Vault 5 or Productstream 5 to create a read-only mirror of the files and directory structure in an ADMS Vault, as seen from Vault Explorer. Used with Task Scheduler, Vault Mirror can create remote copies of the up-to-date Vault file tree. An example where this would be useful is when you have CAM programmers who need access to the Inventor models, but do not have an Autodesk product (nor Vault) installed on their machines.

As with anything at Autodesk Labs, these utilities is not supported by Autodesk and should be seen as "Use At Your Own Risk" utilities.
