Extremely excited to see GrabCAD on board. If you haven't already I would definitely check it out, GrabCAD Workbench is a fantastic piece of software for CAD file management. Serves a similar function to Git, but targeted specifically at CAD, not tied to any one format, and adds a host of really nifty web integration and collaboration tools.
I'm really excited about GrabCAD being on board as well-- I haven't had a chance to use Workbench myself, but everything I've seen of it looks much more intuitive that alternative (especially coming from PTC Windchill, which, though I love it dearly, is much better suited for industry than team use).

GrabCAD has so many uses for so many different projects...

Re: [FRC BLOG] 2015 CAD Software Tools
We have been looking at setting up PDM for a little while, but now with the GrabCAD sponsorship we will be trying out workbench. Very excited to see them added to the list of sponsors.

Thank you to all the sponsors that provide software packages to students and teams, it's a huge help.

Re: [FRC BLOG] 2015 CAD Software Tools
I have never used grabcad workbench before and had a question. Does workbench work with Autodesk Inventor? On the website it only mentions solidworks.

Re: [FRC BLOG] 2015 CAD Software Tools
sent an email to sales@grabcad.com over a week ago and no response about getting the licenses. Anyone else run into this problem?

Nope. Sent them an email, took a couple days to reply. Great product, working really well for the team. Far superior to any other pdm solution we worked with.
