Duff – This puts us Systems Support people into something of a pickle. (At least for me anyways.) CAD operators are DEMANDING some sort of drawing management system for AutoCAD. (We have 30 networked CAD workstations) The cost to purchase a 'front end' that provides minimal management functionality will run us $450.00 per workstation which translates into a cost of $13,500. Not to mention the time and effort to install it and get it running. Management of course would like to find a less expensive solution. (Some are even questioning whether we have a problem.) While pondering this, someone 'hears' that Autodesk might have just what we are looking for in the next release. Question… Do we wait? Ron Warris Colt Engineering Corporation
