Autodesk 360 for Solidowrks?

[amesmich]

Does solidworks have a collaborative cloud based feature like inventor has Autodesk 360?

We currently use google drive to sync our files and it works but its certainly not ideal and does have issues. I would love to use inventor but our team uses Solidworks because some machine shops that help us use SW.

Thanks

There is the Workgroup PDM, which manages your files. This will require someone to setup a server to operate and maintain... Due to school IT policies we can't connect to our outside server, so this doesn't work for us.

Another option, is GrabCAD Workbench. This is now free and unlimited to all users, and I think it works fairly well for most FRC needs. It is lightweight and has an in-browser rendering capability; great for people that don't have SolidWorks to be able to review designs and provide comments.

GarbCAD GrabCAD GrabCAD! I cannot speak highly enough of the GrabCAD Workbench software. It automatically does file sharing, version control, web-based 3D model viewing, and it will store any file type to be downloaded from anywhere with an internet connection. And it's free.

Wow, great. I didn't know Grabcad had that feature. We will certainly check it out. Thanks So Much.
