hendersdc: what an unfortunate waste! i'd love to draw on your experience in that situation. if we were to optimise that system and pick the human tasks that required least effort and time, but had the highest value to future teams/jobs/contracts, what would those tasks have been?
RE "I have my house plans drawn up if you want to see them. Give me a day to get my perspective done by "Rent an Engineer"."
Most definitely! Do you have a whole folder dedicated to the project, with subfolders for each section? How would you plan to share it with me?
Thanks also for the PLM...
RE "For collaboration I use Buzzsaw, GoogleDocs, Basecamp ans Sharepoint."
Thank you! The first direct answer to my question. Much appreciated.
There's a lot of discussion here about companies sharing their files. I'm not interested in seeing companies engineering documents/files/data. I'm...
RE "it's a good idea, but perhaps too simplistic."
why is it too simplistic? what need do you see not being met by the solution?
RE "i think you need to listen to some of the people around you to figure out why we do things a particular way."
that's exactly why i'm asking in a forum "how is...

I'm not familiar with what PLM or PDM are/is. Can you detail them for me?
What is the nature of these file links? How are they created, and what purpose do they serve?
RE "There is already a misconception here. "files" would only be in the form of schematics and board layouts, which are uniquely proprietary to software that the engineers use, i.e., there is no equivalent of source code"
What is the analogue for engineers then? Source code is to software...
Hi Everyone,
I'm new to the engineering world and am trying to understand the online ecosystem. As such I have a few questions!
Is there a 'GitHub for Engineers'? That is, is there a website where I can find people's engineering projects to learn from? Ideally I'd like to download their files...
