Vault shows you folders. Stratumworx shows you your drawings.

Stratumworx is an add-in for Autodesk Vault Professional that gives drawing offices what a vault alone cannot: every drawing under a branch in one click, counted before you look, filtered by discipline, milestone, status, and revision — with an audit trail that writes itself.

Three things, one click each

1,727 drawings · 723 folders · 1 click

Navigate by branch, not by folder

Click any area in the tree and see every drawing beneath it — files only, the true total in the header, counts on every branch before you commit to looking. Native Vault shows a parent folder as just more folders.

E — ELECTRICAL (153) · before you click

Filter by what drawing offices ask

Discipline, milestone rung, drawing status, revision — each a click, each showing its count first. Stack them, and a breadcrumb trail above the filters rolls back any step. No search dialogs, no property names to memorise.

who · why · when — on every change

An audit trail that writes itself

Checkout, check-in, approve, unlock: every status change records the user, the date, and a reason from your company's configured list — or the ECO number driving it. An audit becomes one look, not an afternoon of reconstruction.

Side by side

The same task, both ways

Typical times — estimates from a live 1,727-drawing project
Task	Native Vault	With Stratumworx
See every drawing in an area	Drill folder by folder, or hand-build a subfolder search each time. ~2 minutes.	One click on the branch. ~2 s
Count a branch	No answer — the grid header counts only the loaded page.	Counts in the tree and the true total in the header, always.
Milestone overview	No milestone concept without custom properties and a search per value.	The whole ladder with live counts — 100% — issued (1,615) — one click filters to any rung.
Revision at a glance	Working increments between issues are invisible.	A.0 → A.2 → A → B.0 on every row, filterable as a ladder.
Who changed it, and why	Dates and users in version history; the reason lives in email.	User, date, and reason recorded on every status change.
Batch milestones	One property edit at a time. An afternoon.	Multi-select, pick the rung, watch the progress bar. Minutes.
Onboard a legacy register	Folders, files, names, properties — by hand, per drawing. Weeks.	One resumable import: numbered, filed, stamped, with revision history. An afternoon.

What that adds up to

~3 h

back per user, per week, on the everyday questions alone — where is it, who has it, what state is it in.

1,727

drawings onboarded from a legacy register in a single afternoon run — folders, numbering, milestones, revision history included.

1 click

from any branch, milestone, status, or revision to the exact set of drawings it describes.

Time figures are typical estimates from a live project; your register will differ. We would rather under-promise here and let the first week speak.

The bar we hold ourselves to

“Going back to vanilla Vault will break people's hearts.”

The honest footnotes

Rides on Vault. Never around it.

Your vault stays the vault. Files, versions, and security remain 100% Autodesk Vault's. Stratumworx adds a data layer beside it — nothing bypasses the vault.
Onboarding is real setup. The navigation search and the drawing index are created when Stratumworx is installed — that is part of the delivery, not an exercise left to you.
A power user can hand-build any single search we automate. What they cannot build natively are the counts, the ladders, the reasons, and the audit trail — those live in Stratumworx.
