What is best CAD viewer and Document Management System?, AUTOCAD

And what is the best document management solution that is affordable to
handle Engineering documents which include AutoCAD files, Word docs,
Pictures, etc..

We could use some help.

We have Microsoft Exchange, we have AutoCad as well as other CAD type
packages. We will settle on one.

We want to find a way to manage our documents: view them, red-line,
share, check-in/check-out, versioning. Doing this through a browser
would be wonderful.

We do have SAP and can link to documents of any type but of course you
need a viewer to do such. We could obtain a viewer but that would leave
us without the check-in/out, versioning, red-line, etc.. features.

We were possibly thinking about using Microsoft Exchange among our
various site locations but again we would be missing the above features.

Perhaps there is an exchange plug-in? I know that the release of "Tahoe"
(Exchange 2001) might offer such capabilities.

What is the best approach to this without the greatest expense? In the
long term we will move toward perhaps a "Saros" type solution which we
tried before and abandoned due to perhaps inaccurate roll-out among
other issues. However if a document management package is cost
effective, then we would certainly review it now.

We use Windows NT, Exchange, AutoCad, and possess a corporate Intranet.

Thanks for an email reply and posting if possible
Sincerely
Peter
