You speak engineer but have no idea the types of files and applications they use? I'm not talking about just Microsoft Office and Word documents joto, I am talking MicroStation and 3D CADD drawings.
Last I checked both those apps have a "Save" button. Try Volo View, it "saves" a lot faster.
Right but managing documents is more then just 'saving' changes. You should know that button masher.
I had no idea volo view was able to manage levels, fonts, line styles, and other workspace configurations (you know so that things actually get drawn then built the right way) like a document management system can.
Maybe the engineers you claim to talk with are actually landscaping engineers who live on your block and drink tecate with you after work.
