OpenBOM Drive

What is OpenBOM Drive?

OpenBOM Drive is a cloud-based file storage and collaboration solution that allows you to organize files online, manage design work-in-progress versions of files and access them from any computer via the OpenBOM Dashboard or the Windows File Explorer. You can store and share CAD designs, PDFs, specifications, or any other document. You can manage versions, check-out/in, history, and access in a simple and automatic way. The purpose of OpenBOM Drive is to provide an engineering work-in-progress document management solution. Drive documents can be linked to all OpenBOM Items to manage traceability between Item/BOMs and design data.

OpenBOM Data Model and Drive

Drive is a database to manage folders and files, to control access, manage file versions and provide collaborative access to all information by multiple users. OpenBOM Drive objects are connected to Catalog Items. OpenBOM CAD Add-ins allow the extraction of the data from CAD files and transfer the information including files to Item records in Catalogs.
