Hi All
CAD type files as you both identify are prevelent in many industries. The best
document management system for the CAD / AEC (architecture, engineering and
construction) industry have all had integration points into the most commaon
cad format (Autocad-DWG), for the purpose of:
1) autocad client integration (check-in, check-out, etc).
2) Publishing revision information from the document repository, directly
into the cad drawing revision history panel.
3) Printing directly from the document system via the CAD files.
4) Interpretation of multiple viewports onto the same CAD file as seperate
(but linked) documents in the document management system (i.e. different views
of the same CAD file).
etc.
It would be interesting to see how hard that type of integration would be.
The above is probably the harder side of the integration compared to the issue
management, which is literally just providing a new tagging system on each
document to label them with the type and revision of the issue. Then provide
automatic links for the recipients to receive update information on those files
that have been tagged with the issue information.
Are there any other types of works that you believe a AEC client would need?
My initial thoughts,
James
