Are you my parents? (Access to related parents)

Need to update your model drawings or assembly after a modelling change but you can't remember the genius name you gave the file or just couldn't be bothered running a Vault search?  What?  Even with the new open dialog?

Well not to worry, Autodesk Vault 2013 has introduced the ability to open parent model or drawing files directly from the file details dialog.  Now in addition to looking at file history the user can switch to the where used tab and open parent files up and down the relationship list.

Filters here make it easier to identify or isolate the drawing documentation related to a component or even non-Inventor related files.  The dialog supports revision bias and can be configured to display any of your related Vault properties.

The net result is quick and easy access to the files you need when you need them, keeping users in Inventor, designing and documenting, instead of searching for files in Vault.
