Filed under: Software — WMR @ 12:12 pm

To manage engineering documents there needs especial document management system than standard document management system that handles office files, pdf’s, tiff’s, etc.

Generally standard document management software designed for real estate, banking , financial and similar industries. The documents that needs to be stored with the help of a document management system often never have to be “checked-out” or modified, just stored, copied, or distributed. But in an engineering firm is different . Below are the types of document in an engineering firms generate:

  • 2D and 3D Drawings (CAD files, 3-D modeling files etc)
  • Design Requirements & Schematics
  • Test Specifications, results and reports
  • Operating Manuals & Schedules
  • Problem,Inspection and Statutory Reports
  • Materials Purchase Invoices
  • Manufacturing & Assembly Plans

An ideal engineering document management software must be capable of storing CAD files in their native format, recognize xRef’s, and allow modification like check-in, check out, document numbering, and document naming.

The document management should also handle document produced in many engineering specialties
