Is there a way to determine the history of a file?

Is there a way to determine the history of a file?

Is there a way to determine the history of a file?

(OP)
I'm working at a small firm that doesn't have a PDM system; all the Catia files are stored on a common server that can be accessed by almost everyone. When I open a file and it has changed since the last time I saved it, I need to determine whether someone else made changes. Is there a history function that will help me sort out what happened?
Thanks for any help.

RE: Is there a way to determine the history of a file?

Sorry ziner, no PDM, no history on what changed.  Even the PDM system would only tell you that the file did change and who changed it but not the exact Catia functions.

Maybe you could use compare? don't know which workbench

RE: Is there a way to determine the history of a file?

There is model compare in the Healing Assistant workbench.  This will compare visually the surface/solid data.  I think ziner is looking for feature changes.
You can also compare drawings in DMU, this again is a visual check by comparing pixels.
