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

Very easy to use and with Microstation, there is a dialog box that is forced
upon you each time you access a file which is easy to fill in.
It is not automatic though, and I guess you get out of it what you put into
it
Its free, can view dgn files and is at

You should take a look at Documentum, and CADLink.
CADLink can manage your CAD files, AutoCAD or MicroStation, along
with their reference files, in the Documentum content repository.
CADLink has a web interface as well as a desktop interface, and utilises
the AutoVue product for redlining.
Have a look at the datasheet for CADLink at www.empace.com and
www.documentum.com
will have information on the Documentum repository.

about anything else you may care to point it at including MS Office,
AutoCAD and HPGL files. If you right-click on the view of a DGN you
will also find that it has a reasonable redlining capability too.
Not bad for somethings that's free.
