Smarter, faster publishing workflows: Discover what’s new in Publisher4VLT for Autodesk Vault 

30 April 2025

For engineering and manufacturing teams using Autodesk Vault, maintaining smooth data workflows is critical. That’s why we’re excited to introduce the latest version of Be.Smart Publisher4VLT — our robust add-on for Autodesk Vault — now upgraded with new features that make publishing workflows faster, more flexible, and better connected to ERP systems. 

Let’s explore what’s new. 

NEW: Inventor BOM Export module (preview mode) 

 The new Inventor BOM Export Module introduces flexible export options in CSV and XML formats, bridging the gap between Vault and ERP systems. 

Key capabilities include: 

  • Export full structured BOMs or first-level only 

  • Customize outputs using Vault and Inventor properties 

  • Choose to include or exclude virtual components 

  • Control structured views, including item number delimiters 

It’s a key improvement for teams searching for tools that support automated publishing from Vault and more efficient data sharing with ERP platforms. 

Major speed boost: PackAndGo 

Performance matters — especially with large assemblies or remote Vault servers. The updated PackAndGo feature now loads up to 98% faster, significantly reducing wait times and boosting team productivity. 

Smarter lifecycle and Revision synchronization 

Complex workflows require flexibility. Our new hybrid sync mode gives you more control during file publishing. 

You can now manually set the category while syncing lifecycle status and revision based on the source file. 

This enhancement ensures consistency without sacrificing the flexibility needed for advanced workflows. 

Additional enhancements 

We’ve also introduced a series of smaller but impactful improvements: 

  • Updated ERP Connector support 

  • Smarter configuration handling 

  • UI refinements 

  • Better logging and bug fixes 

These refinements improve stability, usability, and overall performance. 

Why this update matters 

Today’s teams face increasingly complex workflows, disconnected systems, and the pressure to deliver more with less. This update is another step forward in ARKANCE’s mission to guide, equip, and enable our customers to work smarter and move faster. 

Whether you're generating PDFs from Vault, pushing files into ERP systems, or just looking for better publishing automation, Publisher4VLT was built to simplify and accelerate the process.
