Sending drawing files
Sending drawing files
(OP)
Hi guys,
We are on a network, and wondering what is a good way to send people on the network drawing files that are able to be viewed and updated, since the parts are on the server.
Also, if you have a detached drawing, can you convert it back to an attached drawing to change dimensions?
Thanks.

Regarding the server, I would think you wouldn't so much "send" them the files, but allow access to the files. That way, you don't have drawings and parts at differing revision levels floating around without documentation. Since it sounds like you want edits to occur, this sounds quite dangerous from a document control perspective.

An alternative is to set up a conference/internet meeting where applications can be shared.

I suggest using some PDM software, like PDMWorks.

If you have the Pro version, comments & notes can be added, measurements made & shown.
STL files can also be made from the eDrawing parts.

RE: Sending drawing files
Is there a use for detached drawings, if you have edrawing?
