Fusion 360 File/Revision management

Anonymous

I'm working for a company that is looking at F 360. They have about 3500-4500 SOLIDWORKS files they use. How could F 360 mange these File and Revisions?

Thanks in advance.

I think that we need a lot more detail to answer that question.

Agreed with @TrippyLighting - you've asked a very broad question. More clarification would be helpful.

Having said that, I'll offer this much, in very broad terms:

 

- if you're asking about managing legacy SWx files in a PDM or PLM.... then the simple answer is that Fusion is not a PLM or PDM system.

- if you're asking about USING legacy SWx files in new designs, then Fusion's AnyCAD functionality is pretty solid, and may do what you need. That said, I wouldn't list file/revision control as one of Fusion's biggest strengths. 

- if you're really after PLM/PDM, then Autodesk has a couple of different products - Fusion Lifecycle and Vault that are specifically designed to address these needs.

Absolutely agreed - I was thinking that one possible interpretation of the OP question was 'how to manage revisions on 4.5k SWx files'. 

Cheers -
