Answer to Question 1

Using an organized directory structure makes it easier to retrieve your CAD files and other electronically stored design data.

Most people create a directory structure in a way that makes sense for the types of projects they do. A project-based directory structure allows you to store all files related to a particular project in the same directory.

Answer to Question 2

Smaller companies, or those that must interact regularly with suppliers and partners in distant locations, can use the Internet to distribute access to project data.

Many of the same messaging and document management functions provided by a PDM system can be provided through browser and Internet-based tools.

Database servers that automate product websites also can provide access to the most current information and files.

The Web has spawned a full range of tools for previewing graphical information that can be used to navigate through and select from CAD information.
