Friday Smackdown: Mechtronic Melee
On the outside, the web can be useful in CAD for sharing data, libraries, and collaboration, viewing, markup, stuff that eDrawings and 3DinstantWebsite already do.
I personally don't see actual CAD applications going SaaS. The web bandwidth simply can't rival a desktop. Plus, if there isn't a need to share designs, why risk the potential security issues?
The web will play a role, but it won't be the centerpiece. That's my take anyway.
this is a very interesting document.

@ Matt yeah, definitely not a centerpiece. (V6 looks to make it that way but I gotta say... hmmmm.) I'm wondering if bandwidth and security will always be a problem. I hate the slow speed, but I'm confident about my data I have online (at least right now.) Sharing will be a big part of it and I imagine it will almost be expected by those on all the social networks now that will be using CAD products in the future.
You should be able to swap data very quickly as data size by this new breed of modelling engine are incredibly compact (because they circum navigate the whole history storage issue). Also, take a look at the Enovia Live interface DS are showing off..
For all its whizz bang turntable, spinning out parts, what this is about is using web technology to connect you to information. You check a part of sub-systemes status, the tool coloured codes it by change status - is in work, are their changes pending, are changes overdue, who's working on it right now - click, IM them and see what the game is. Conduct a live design review, swap data between parties..
That's how its gonna work. With globally dispersed design teams, this is going to be unbelievably productive - if it can work...
Manage it all with change control, store the discussion around a project, swap data efficiently in a tracable manner and you have something pretty effing cool - right?
Makes facebook look kind of... Well... 2008...
And people say I don't get out enough...
this is a very interesting document.
