Re: GrabCAD or Alternative PLM

GrabCAD is absolutely fantastic. We're currently using OCCRA to test drive it. It's very fast and easy to use, so beginners can catch on quickly. We love the online viewer as well, since we don't need to be on a computer that has and/or can handle CAD. Of course file organization and naming is on you, but once that is done, GrabCAD keeps every version on record and all files up to date. It's easy to find and restore previous file versions if needed as well.

I'm glad to know we're not the only ones. It crashes for me as well. GrabCAD workbench has been an effective way around, but I would love to know how and why the crashes are happening.
