Which engineering tasks are included in manage data and change?

Keep design work in one project, Preserve versions and access, Review and resolve changes.

Which zCAD products support this workflow?

zCAD.Online supports selected tasks described on this page. Product fit depends on the workflow and capabilities confirmed for your team.

Can internal teams and external partners review the same CAD data?

Yes. Use the browser-based zCAD workspace and review tools to share current design context, inspect geometry, collect feedback, and reduce uncontrolled copies where the selected product and permissions support it.

Manage engineering data, versions, and product change

Engineering data and change management

Manage Data and Change

Keep CAD projects, versions, permissions, reviews, and design changes connected to the current cloud model.

Controlled product data

Version-aware project work

Current review context

Workflow friction

Engineering change is risky without a trusted current product state.

Models, drawings, documents, project activity, reviews, and version decisions often move through different folders and systems. The team then spends time reconstructing which state is current and why it changed.

Project data is scattered

Models, drawings, documents, and decisions are divided across shared folders and personal workspaces.

Files and version context diverge

Teams can discuss a product state without knowing which geometry, drawing, and document version it represents.

Reviews depend on follow-up

Project and review activity stalls when ownership, status, and affected information are not visible.

Change control

Turn active engineering work into a traceable current state.

The sequence keeps responsibility, review, affected data, and final delivery visible as the product changes.

Define the source

Bring the working models, drawings, and collaborators into the appropriate cloud project.

Control the working state

Apply permissions, versions, and review rules to the active data.

Review the change

Capture the request, discussion, decision, and affected product context.

Release with context

Share the current model, drawing, version, and supporting information.

Controlled workspace

Manage product data, versions, and change in one controlled path.

Centralize the working information, preserve versions and access, connect change to product context, and make the current state clearer.

Centralized product data workspace with assembly structure and document details

Keep design work in one project

Keep models, assemblies, drawings, and review context together in the current cloud workspace.

CAD assembly task details with ownership and review controls

Preserve versions and access

Keep a clear history of design states while controlling who can view, edit, or review them.

Engineering approval center and controlled document release workflow

Review and resolve changes

Connect version changes, comments, design reviews, and the current approved model state.

Product record

Connect files, versions, ownership, and engineering change.

Teams can see the trusted product state, understand what changed, review the affected context, and release the next version with a visible decision history.
