CAD Revision Control
Last season, we cad-ed our robot for the first time and used dropbox to manage collaboration between cadders (we had 7). To be blunt, it sucked (but to be fair it wasn't designed for it). Everything worked fine until we combined subsystems and then everything fell apart. Because of the intertwined dependencies, only one person could work on the robot at a time from that point on. I vividly remember doing lightening patterns at 2am.
It seems that products like Autodesk Vault are the professional worlds way of tackling this problem. Has anyone been able to get a copy of this from Autodesk?
If not, how does your team deal with this problem?
