Files & Docs
Keep uploaded source files and living project documents in a library with useful categories, links, status, and modified dates.
CAD and file control
Know which design file is current—and keep the reason around it.
Files & Docs gives CAD, drawings, supplier files, and general project documents a clear home, while the current-file view makes version details readable in plain language.

The working problem
The work loses clarity when its records split apart.
A version number alone does not explain whether a file is current, what it supports, who needs it, or whether it belongs in the next supplier handoff.
Workbench provides practical project file control. It does not replace a formal PDM or enterprise PLM system when regulated change control and deep CAD integrations are required.
Inside the workspace
Enough structure to keep the project legible.
Current version details
See the current CAD or document version, file type, release context, update date, and download action in one readable view.
Project connections
Connect a file to the assembly, deliverable, vendor handoff, or project work that gives it meaning.
A practical flow
Move the work forward without losing the record.
- 01
Add the file or document
Upload a design source, drawing, quote, or other project file—or create the general project document you need.
- 02
Describe it plainly
Set the category, type, project link, status, and other context that helps people understand its use.
- 03
Add the next version
Keep version history with the record so the current file is visible without deleting the trail.
- 04
Use the current file
Open or download the version intended for the next review, deliverable, or vendor handoff.
What becomes clearer
- A clear current file without losing prior-version context
- General project documents and uploaded sources in one library
- Fewer handoffs built around an ambiguous attachment
A strong fit when
- CAD, drawings, quotes, and project documents are spread across folders and inboxes.
- Filename conventions no longer tell the whole revision story.
- You need a plain-language record of the file intended for the next review or vendor handoff.
