Document management products

QY CAD documents store project designs, and most often complete projects are comprised of many QY CAD documents. The relationships that exist among these documents must be tracked and maintained. Since project designs change over time, document versions must also be tracked and controlled. A well controlled system provides easy access for those with proper authority for reviewing, printing, editing, and approving documents, and protects documents from access by those without proper authority. The workflow required to accomplish these tasks is considered data management.

User help and training are available for the document management products and applications listed below.
