Re: CAD Revision Control

I know this is a step back from where this thread seems to be going and rehashing something that's been said a few times but I'd really like to see more Vault access available to teams as well.

Autodesk offers a great suite of tools to first teams, but without vault you're forced to manage your design infrastructure in a (pretty archaic) fashion (flash drives/dropbox)

I have very extensive SVN experience and use it in work and with our team, but since SVN has no knowledge of the type of file being stored it doesn't offer the same potential that vault does.

For any teams considering trying to use vault (or any other software that requires either a linux or real windows server) you can run a windows instance on the Amazon EC2 cloud for extremely competitive, hourly and usage based rates (very affordable to leave on 24/7). Amazon EC2 also provides tools to assist in backup and management of servers and I highly recommend for anyone wishing to host their own SVN server, website, or any other thing you would like to have running on a computer permanently.
