Seeking a way to keep track of code in highly customized autocad?

Other than pure sweat... what are some way, means, methods to keep track
of all the code in a highly customized autocad engineering dept.?

subjects include:

Release and revision levels
Coordination issues (keeping stand-a-lone customization coordinated with
networked customization)
so that a laptop or 'home' computer can be using all the same code.

 

Ed,

How much for a copy of that vb app?

Chris

 

nc, but you will need to customize it for your environment. Do you have vb6?

 

Mike,

If your client OS is Win2k or above, the coordination issue (for portables)
is moot if you use the Offline files feature.

It is very simple. With the portable connected to the network, browse to the
folder you want offline. Right-click on the folder and select Make Available
Offline. You have the option of making any subfolders offline too.

When you have disconnected from the network, browse to the network (yes,
*network*) location, and the files are still there. (Granted, the OS has
hidden copies of the files on the local HD, but to the user they are still
in the original location.) Syncing is automatic, and warns you if both files
are changed.

Using this feature is there capability for the portable to edit the files once
disconnected ?...
then when the connection to the network is made again do the files get updated
automatically ?
or can limits be set - don't update, update only certain files?
(In my case... I don't want the portable to be able to make edits.)

 

Yes, edits can be made offline.

However, if the network folder is RO, then the sync will not occur. In fact,
the user needs to get the wise net admin to clear the incorrectly modified
local files, which leads to severe questioning from said network admin.
