We would like to know the experiences anyone is having with Doc.
Management. Is it good ,bad, not worth it etc. Also we inquiring about the

We have been using AutoVue to browse related documents. All of our
production prints are scanned and saved as a .tif image. Everyone then has
access to view or print any print from their PC. Saves the hassle of going
to the filing cabinet and finding out it's not in file. It works quite
well.

We make extensive use of document management. We've standardized our
software to microsoft products, though we have used it with a smattering of
other software. We use it to control our process cards for manufacturing.
A process card is printed at the start of the job then destroyed at the end
of the job. Only our process engineers can make changes to these cards. (NT
security and document passwords). This method was described as impressive
by our QS9000 auditors. (We passed certification) I would like to see more
features but overall I would call it very very useful to us.

Watch for 2 key elements:
1) When you create a new revision letter for an item you will have to
manually reconnect all related documents to the new revision. The
assumption is that all documents are revision sensitive and should not be
automatically linked to the the new upper level revision. Personally, I'd
like a button that says "Copy Docs" so that if you want to copy them you can
without having to re-drill out to each document. The old copy and paste
concept ...
2) There is also a rather old suggestion floating around EPICOR to give us
the option to print some/all related documents when we print travelers.
Specifically an option on the document management screen to specify which
documents should be printed with the travelers and/or which documents should
be printed with packing slips, etc. and then an option on the traveler print
screen to click if you want the related documents that have also been
checked.
Other then these 2 issues it isn't bad. Be very careful how you setup your
document directories. For this to work you have to have a network drive
letter that is common to all pc's - like 'W'. Then you have to have some
logical way of setting up your directories - like
W:\CST\CUST-NAME\ITEM-NO\DOC-NAME.DOC. Lastly you will need to think
through your security since different groups of people will need to update
different types of documents while most people will need read-only access.
Also, understand that once you setup this directory structure you will be
stuck with it basically forever since to change it would require relinking
all of your documents.
Another thought for you is that you could:
* Setup your "W" drive or whatever you would like to use
* Setup your directories and start saving documents
* Purchase AutoVue on the open market - not from EPICOR
* Users would then use explorer to browse your "W" drive to find the
documents they are looking for and then print them.
The value to AutoVue ( or any similar package ) is that most of the company
will have READ-ONLY access to these master documents while some departments
can be given FULL-ACCESS to add/update. ( At a previous company we had ALL
.DWG AutoCAD files on a network drive with read-only access to EVERYONE in
the company except 1 person - the final checker in the engineering
department. When an engineer wanted to change a drawing they would copy it
down to their personal directory, make the changes, and then copy it into a
"Checker" directory. The final checker would double check that all
standards had been met and then would copy / overlay it back top the master
drive. )
You might want to purchase AutoVue, setup your directories, give it a try,
and then if you are still interested in the concept purchase the Doc-Mg
module.
Good luck

Not worth it. It's very cumbersome and nothing is automated.
If you just want to view autocad drawings get autodesk's free
viewer. If you have other formats then get Autovue.

Hi all,
For those of you that have Auto View, How many copies
do you need/have. Auto View was very expensive the last

Expensive, maybe. Seats required: one. It runs on the server and gets
shelled to each workstation that requires it. It is NOT licensed "per seat
of Vantage." Otherwise, I could never afford it.

Dan,
Sorry to give you bad news but thats not true. Durring a licensing audit we
discovered that if Autovue is installed on the server then a license must be
purchased for each workstation that can open Autovue. Epicor and CIMMETRY
has confirmed this. Below is an e-mail exchange with our sales rep at
Epicor. I am sure I have other e-mails I can share with your about this.
Thanks

E-mai as Follows:
Since I was not involved in the original sale, I'm not sure what
conversations occurred. But often times, a customer will state that only a
few employees will need to access Autovue, usually engineering, so just that
many seats are purchased. It doesn't sound like the plans you have today to
make documents and drawings available to all users existed when you first
purchased the system?
Let me know what type of timeline you're looking at, and maybe I can do
something on the price?

Your pricing is much better then going direct. I'm sure my boss is going to
ask the question, "Why did vantage sell us this when we purchased over 30
Vantage licenses with Document Management?" Just asking you so I will have

Subject: Autovue
Jeremy, I checked out OEM agreement with Autovue. It appears that if you
want to be compliant, you need to purchase an Autovue license for every
person on the network who has the ability to launch an Autovue license.
The Solid Model version of Autovue goes for $1125 per user, plus you can
upgrade the 5 Autovue licenses you have to the Solid Model version for $700
each.

If you just use AutoView to view CAD files you can download VoloView
Express off Autodesk's website, it's a free drawing viewer. I
haven't used it personally but some of our users do.
Another possibility is using Adobe Acrobat to convert CAD drawings
to PDF files. Acrobat is around $200 but Acrobat Reader is free.

Since we've gone down this path. Is there any cheap software that will
generate a dimensioned view of an IGS file. Our VP of Sales gets the
Vapors when ever she has to work with one. (We do have Autoview and
Volo View) she would like something that she can just print out the
drawing with all the dimension neatly in place.

Depends partly on the quality of the software that generated the IGES file
and partly on the output options selected by the user at the time of
creation.
Most IGES files will only contain geometry.
To automatically add dimensions is a daunting task and I know of no vendor
that offers a tool able to do such a thing. Would be very interested to find
out
if such a vendor exists.
We import the IGES file to a CAD package like Pro-E or Solidworks and then
generate the dimensioned drawing for estimating and shop use. The process
involves good drafting practice and human judgment though.
Luck to ya ...

We are on Vantage 5.00.329, on NT4 server, using Windows XPpro and
Win98 workstations. We recently purchased the Document Management
module and I am having trouble getting it set up. First of all, I am
getting an error when trying to load the AutoVue CD. I do have a
call into that company, which they should be returning my call. They
said the version Epicor sent me on the CD was old, but they had to
have discussion with Epicor to find out why they are using that. We
have 4 concurrent licenses. Yes, I realize we are on an old version
of Vantage, but we were assured it should work on it. I just
wondered if anyone else has had a similiar experience and how it was
resolved.
Thanks! Ann Rohyans, AMFAB, 574-264-4431,
amfab@...We run AutoVue also, it is totally independent of Vantage. I would also
recommend that you install it outside of the epicor shared folder. In the
future when you upgrade vantage or AutoVue you will be happier.

We use CADKEY version 7.5 using a 'PRT' file extension and a newer
version of Solidworks using a 'SLDDRW' file extension. Any
suggestions for Document association on these? I am currently able
to view Word and Excel files. I will need to scan some documents to
save as files. Options are pdf, hml or rtf. Doc is also an option
but seems to take longer. Any suggestions on scanned file type?
Thanks again! Ann Rohyans, AMFAB, 574-264-4431, amfab@a...

getting an error when trying to load the AutoVue CD. I do have a
call into that company, which they should be returning my call. They
said the version Epicor sent me on the CD was old, but they had to
have discussion with Epicor to find out why they are using that. We
have 4 concurrent licenses. Yes, I realize we are on an old version
of Vantage, but we were assured it should work on it. I just
wondered if anyone else has had a similiar experience and how it was
resolved.

You may want to install Autovue on the client instead of the server. During our investigations into licensing, Autovue requires that EVERY client who has access to that directory have a license purchased for it. It is not concurrent licensing. I contacted Epicor about this and this was the response.
"Jeremy, I checked out OEM agreement with Autovue. It appears that if you
want to be compliant, you need to purchase an Autovue license for every
person on the network who has the ability to launch an Autovue license."
This is defined by Autovue as anyone who has access to the files which means anyone connected to the network unless you add security to the Autovue folder.
Epicor didn't know this before and seems to be ignoring it since the instructions say to install it on the network.
One other thought is that Epicor does give great discounts for Autovue but then you have to pay maintenance on it every year and you do not get your upgrades for free.
Just a thought,
Jeremy

We are on AutoVue 17.1 and can view SLDDRW (SolidWorks) files in AutoVue in
their native format--I don't know about Cadkey files. As I recall, the
ability to view solidworks files only appeared within the last few upgrades
of AutoVue.
You didn't list it as an option, but our prints are scanned and stored in
.tif format. Seems to work OK.

AutoVue opens CadKey .PRT (part) files OK. I'm not sure about the latest KeyCreator files, if they are the same format or not. If I recall correctly the trick was in the Document Management command string and getting the substitution syntax right. For AutoVue we use: AVWIN.exe &1 in the document association settings, and it opens a CadKey file right up.

I spoke with Epicor about this back in 2000. I got the same reply. I
couldn't even get any confirmation that the Autovue sent with the Epicor
installation had a valid license.

I know that the group has gone over Doc Mgmnt before, but I am just
starting to
use the module and did have a few questions. They may seem silly, but I
am unclear
about how to proceed.
Where are the documents stored? Should they be inside of the Vantage
Folder?
Should they be in another folder within the Vantage folder? Does it
matter?
Where are they attached? For example: Part file, if you have a picture
of a part and want it to
be attached to the Job Traveler? Or do you keep a separate folder
outside of Vantage on your
server for pictures or documents and link to that folder?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
We are using TS 2003.
Thank you..

Nancy:
We use Doc Mgmnt for attaching ISO documents for viewing throughout the
plant. The documents are saved on the ISO Mgr's PC in her shared documents.
(She makes a copy to the shared folder so nothing can happen to the original
by mistake). When you attach the document, you browse to where they are
stored.
