Keeping track of drawings

Anonymous — Mon, 12 Jul 2021 12:46:45 GMT

I work at a facility that had created their own database to keep track of every drawing and every design job ever created.

It used MS Access, and would import data from title blocks to update the drawing database.

This worked great, until Autodesk moved away from VisualBasic; the creator of the software (someone here at the facility) didn't want to learn another programming language.

Is there a decent program out there to keep track of the drawings in this database (and others as they're created?) or is this when we tap into our local university and ask someone in computer science to create a program?

Thoughts or ideas?

What do you want to keep track "of" specifically?

Hello!

Can u be more speciffic about what u need?

What do you mean with keep track of every drawing? U need a data of creation/modification of each? Or something like these information?

I have some experience with VBA, i think i can help u 🙂

You can still use VBA. It's just a separate download.
