    What is ProjectWise?

    Polk Draftsman

    Since we are all working from home, we use VPN to work off of a remote server.  This is not ideal and many have to actually copy .dgn files to their workstation, make sure no one else opens the file, and then copy back to the server when done.  This is inherently dangerous.

    Is ProjectWise software that copies a file out of a server, locks it on the server, then copies back to the server when closed?  That is what we need to do.

      Projectwise does exactly that, with the Projectwise Explorer Client installed on your computers, it manages the file transactions including the Microstaion workspace, models and REF files. It uses caching to help improve the transfer time. We use Projectwise extensively and with this new "work from home policy" it's helped tremendously. It does lock the file when in use and uses icons to represent file status. PW integrates with Office products as well so we manage all our project documents in PW
