how to keep a list of changes of a project?

how to keep a list of changes of a project?

how to keep a list of changes of a project?

(OP)
does anyone knows how to:

I have some projects at once. For each one there are some changes in some parts. I must print drawings of the project each time I make an important change but I have to annotate the changes in all afected parts. For now, I make a copy of the assembly in a separate subdir and name it "version XX".

What I want to know if there is an easier and space saver method for doing this.

RE: how to keep a list of changes of a project?

If you use Intralink we can just write down somewhere the names of the frames, name them with specific names, and you can go back anytime to an old versions (frame) without making any additional copies.

I haven't intralink. I'm looking for a standalone method

RE: how to keep a list of changes of a project?

In this case do not purge your working folder, keep a log of all the saved versions, and write down in your notebook for example for "xxx.asm.05" - changed this and that, "xxx.asm.10" - changed this, etc. You can do the same thing for parts.
Later, when you want to go back to a specific phase of your design, just copy the saved versions you are interested in in a new folder, and open the files in that directory.
Another easy way to save space on your hardrive and save your time is to burn some CDs for each new version.

thanks for your replies but I'll keep on my system because the essence is the same you propose. Anyway I do a cd copy of all the projects once they are finished and regular backup. I find easier a subdir called version_01.

You can try using Pro-Markup. To do so select File, New, Markup(name the markup file the same name as your .asm or .prt file)you will now be able to use text and sketched items off of the menu to keep track of your changes.

(FYI don't use red as the default color)
