I'll cross post this in the AutoCAD group but I'm wondering about the distribution of CAD (or CADD) files.
We have been moving toward formal agreements to distribute this type of information but many firms just seem to release any data at will. I think they are taking a major risk.
Not only do we not know what will be done with the data but we view notes, details, and other types of "re-used" data as our intellectual property. I've been developing and refining many notes and details for 10 years now.
What are others doing with the distribution of CAD files?
