Software for electronic data management
Software for electronic data management
(OP)
My situation is this, we are a small manufacturing company we produce a lot of prototype work for a large variety of customers(250 or so). As their product designers are using 3-d software we are now seeing all kinds of file types.
AUTOCAD, PRO-E, CADKEY, SOLID WORKS, MASTER CAM
for native solid models. We also have customers who will only send stupid models in IGES, STEP, STL, PARASOLIDS, and ACIS.
In 2-d we receive AUTOCAD, PRO-E , CADKEY, SOLID WORKS, MASTER CAM, DXF, DWG, IGES, PDF, TIFF, JPEG, WORD DOCS, and BMP to name most of them.
MY problem is managing all this different type of data as we are at the prototype stage with most of these
Customers, so changes and files sent are fast and frequent.
I am looking for a software solution to this problem as far as tracking the files and making them viewable and printable to all the necessary players within my company.

I'm looking at the above-mentioned apps, but does anyone have experience in using them, and can recommend a cost-effective one?
Thanks in advance,

A database solution could be setup with one backend on the network in a shared location and all users with their own frontend.
A revision/editing history could also be a child table for each file to allow users to enter comments or revision history.
This may not be what you need and the other solutions may be more what you need. My experience is in welding/qc not engineering so I may not be familar with what you are trying to do.
