Short note following Devon Sowel blog about SolidWorks on Cloud/SaaS plans. This is good continutation to thoughts and discussion started earlier on <CAD- the future of collaborative modeling>. SolidWorks already made first try of Drawing Now on Cloud.
So, CAD on Cloud SaaS will finaly release you from PDM’s File Open/Check-In/Check-Out hassle.
What do you think?
