If you want input from a 30 year Mfg Engineer/QM/Project Engineer, I'd love to pop off. But the basic functionality in the thread title is the 80% good of PLM.
Does anything work to accomplish what is in the title of the thread? And does it work without becoming an administrative/IT geek nightmare? My various projects and iterations are becoming hard to manage in my unsupported older copy of Inventor, so I am looking to see if Alibre can cover that...
