Re: CAD Revision Control

Vault can be really neat, we're starting to phase it in at work. I don't have too much experience with it, but from what I've seen, it helps a lot when multiple people are working on/with the same model.

Also, on the subject of multiple people working on different subsystems, having frequent meetings to update everyone on the design can be really, really helpful and save time down the road, especially if everyone is in the same place as subsystems start to get integrated. Also, On a few of the larger projects I've worked on at my job, we've allotted volume for different components from the beginning and worked out some part inference issues without even drawing the entire part - it really saves a ton of time.
