PDF Upload of Working Drawing #1

Open cbolinger opened 11 years ago

cbolinger commented 11 years ago

This is more of a feature request then a issue.

Would it be possible to add the ability to upload Working Drawings(pdfs) to the server and maybe even track old revisions of the drawing?

Example:

Initial upload of 254-13-P-1222: http://parts-demo.team254.com/pdf/254-13-P-1222.pdf

Slight modification of 254-13-P-1222: http://parts-demo.team254.com/pdf/254-13-P-1222A.pdf

Another modification of 254-13-P-1222: http://parts-demo.team254.com/pdf/254-13-P-1222B.pdf

At this point you would show http://parts-demo.team254.com/pdf/254-13-P-1222B.pdf as the main link to the working drawing but maybe have a button or link to show the older versions.

For Assemblies you could also have uploads for the Assembly Drawings or Exploded Views.

We currently have to manually print and deliver the paper drawing to the manufacturing department and this could increase efficiency and allow for manufacturers to have the latest drawing when they start to work on the part.

Thanks for releasing this to the Public it is a great web application.

Thanks for the suggestion. Having drawings available in Cheesy Parts is definitely something we want. Ideally they would get pulled in automagically from Solidworks PDM, but having them be uploadable could also work.

I know this request is quite old, but any update on this? If this has been implemented, how do you access it? I can't seem to any upload drawing features in the edit part screen

Immense thanks for sharing this, everyone at Team 5940 thanks you.

It hasn't been implemented, and Team 254 isn't really planning on making any improvements to Cheesy Parts since it's working for us. We'd be happy to accept open-source contributions though. :)
