Re: Problems With Cad on your team?

Just to comment on the multiple versions of files topic...

I know this is probably impossible considering your firewall situation, but our team purchased a cheap $500 Dell server that serves a central repository for all of inventor and CAD files. We used Active Directory to setup accounts for everyone. We setup a small LAN consisting of the server and whoever has a laptop. With AD you can login to the network and access all of your files no matter which computer you may be using.

We also used the server to net render our 3D animation across many laptops. With servers being so cheap, it may be worth it for your team to invest in one. The key to efficiency is good organization.

Good luck!

Re: Problems With Cad on your team?

Maybe this goes without saying, but the problems I have experienced regarding CAD and FIRST teams has little to do with the CAD software itself. Rather, students using the software, while they may be proficient in the software interface itself, still often lack design sensibility. Knowledge of common manufacturing practices and standards is just as important as the ability to develop an assembly in Inventor, if not more.

If you have the time to devote to the task, I don't see time as being too worrisome a constraint. I have, in the past, designed entire robots in CAD by myself and done so within a week's time. More people working in tandem with a good understanding of project management, the software, and standards of design and manufacture should be able to do this with little difficulty.
