Inventor's Version of Revision manager?
(OP)
I just switched over to Inventor 2008 from Solid Edge and was wondering if there was an add on program, or if Inventor had a feature akin to Solid Edge's "Revision Manager".
If you are unfamiliar with this software I can explain. It is a stand alone program that comes with Solid Edge. It allows you to pick an assembly, part, weldment, or drawing and it's tree structure will show up in a browser window. From this window you can adjust file properties (iProperties), rename or move files, while maintaining the link to the main assembly. This is particularly useful for copying/moving large multi part assemblies to a network drive. It's also very useful to help resolve broken links in an assembly.
Is there an Inventor equivalent to this program?

for the most basic.
or
free Autodesk Vault (limited number of users)
or
Autodesk ProductStream.

The Vault is more of a database containing all your projects, parts and assemblies and their revisions.
So if you only need to copy and rename some bits here and there Design Assistant will do just fine...

It does EXACTLY what I needed to do. I needed to swap old parts out of an assembly and have the new ones show up. It worked FLAWLESSLY.
