CentreStack addresses this issue by implementing a global file locking mechanism. When a user opens an AutoCAD file, it locks the file for that user. Other users can then open it in read-only mode, preventing overwriting and data loss.
CentreStack's 'Collaborative CAD Editing' revolutionizes teamwork on CAD projects, ensuring seamless collaboration without data loss, leveraging AWS for speed and intelligent caching for real-time work across locations. This marks a new era of efficient and secure CAD collaboration, making every edit count.
CentreStack's 'Collaborative CAD Editing' revolutionizes teamwork on CAD projects, eliminating file overwrites and access issues. It notifies users of edits, providing read-only access to others, ensuring data integrity. Powered by AWS for superior storage and speed, plus intelligent caching for real-time collaboration, it marks a new era of efficiency and security in collaborative CAD work. With CentreStack, every edit advances your project, transforming collaborative CAD editing into a partnership for productivity.
In the realm of CAD projects, the ability to collaborate effectively and efficiently is paramount. Yet, businesses often grapple with challenges that hinder their collaborative efforts. These obstacles not only slow down project timelines but also compromise data integrity and team synergy.
Teams face significant hurdles with file syncing, especially with AutoCAD Xrefs, leading to incorrect file versions being used or edited.
Without proper notifications and file locking, multiple users editing the same file can overwrite each other's work, resulting in lost progress.
The need for real-time access from various devices, including mobile, is critical, yet often unmet, limiting on-the-go collaboration.
Managing administrative access and ensuring effective file locking for simultaneous editing are complex, leading to workflow bottlenecks.
Understanding the complexities of CAD collaboration is crucial for transformative improvement.
In the fast-paced world of CAD projects, the ability to collaborate seamlessly is not just a convenience—it's a necessity. Yet, many existing solutions fall short in providing a truly collaborative environment, leaving teams grappling with inefficiencies and data integrity issues. The limitations of these solutions not only hinder project timelines but also compromise the quality of work, underscoring the need for a more robust platform.
Solutions like Dropbox lack a global file locking mechanism, leading to overwritten work when multiple users edit the same file, a critical gap in collaborative CAD editing.
Dropbox users face challenges with file syncing and version control, particularly after system updates, resulting in lost work and the need to redo tasks, causing financial losses.
Platforms such as ShareSync and traditional methods like FTP and email fail to support dynamic, real-time collaboration on CAD files, leading to inefficiencies and frustration.
Competitors like SharePoint and VPNs struggle with performance issues and lack the capability for real-time, collaborative CAD editing, especially with large BIM software files.
CentreStack's 'Collaborative CAD Editing' feature revolutionizes CAD collaboration by enabling real-time editing, ensuring data integrity, and providing unparalleled access. Utilizing cloud technology and intelligent caching, it allows every team member to efficiently contribute from any location.

Drive mapping is an important feature for online file access. End users can easily drag and drop files and folders from a set of mapped drives over the Internet without a VPN connection.
File locking is a vital feature for online file access and team collaboration to avoid conflicts. End users need to control global concurrent online file access by using file locking to maintain consistency.
Dropbox and Google Drive don't have the same level of centralized control as a file server. You might miss the NTFS permissions and the ability to know where your data is, who has access to it and what they're doing with it.
