Reference files are among the most important concepts in multiple disciplines that
involve CAD files ( Autodesk (dwg, dxf), MicroStation (dgn), PPM (rad)) or Word files.
The relationships between the reference files and the master files must be tracked
to keep the files associated during various operations like check in, check out, viewing,
and other.
The reference files and their relationships may now be easily handled in Web Client,
in an automated way, through a very simple and intuitive interface. Operations like
identifying references, reporting missing references, resolving duplicates and establishing
the correct reference relations are automatically triggered by the document actions:
-
Document Creation
-
Manage Files
-
Replace Files
-
Check-in
-
Signoff
-
Undo-Signoff
-
Revise
You can resolve duplicates when a file is attached (Doc Creation/Check-in/Replace
Files/Manage Files/Revise) using the following UI:
The following diagram shows an example of reference relationships between documents
and files:
