I just got tasked with cleaning up our cad files because i recently took a autocad drafting class before a landed this job. We have 9 lines with various pieces of equipment by many different vendors that make up each line.
The old maintenance manager here used to keep up with the cad file sand it looks like he didi a poor job. They are all on the network T: drive but it appears they opened them on that drive because i see.bak files and plot log files on there.
They have a electrical file and then a machine file with a folder for each machine. The machine file has electrical and mechanical cad files.
I wanted help on how others store these? By machine and have mechanical and electrical folder under the machine or have a mechanical root folder and a electrical root folder then a folder for each machine in each.
To store them by mechanical / electrical or by machine that is the question. There are pdf versions of the cad files as well. I have no ideas on how to handle those.
