I'm not sure if this is the best place to post this, but I'm trying to find some advice. My company is still using Pro/E Wildfire 4.0 and we are running into problems with multiple sites working on very large models in the prototype stage. The problem is that one of the sites is really bad about communicating changes that they have made to the models and our data management software isn't smart enough to show what has changed since the last update. This leads to us wasting a ton of time trying to figure out if anything has changed or wasting time redesigning something because we used the wrong models. Because of this, I'm looking for a solution to help us figure out what has changed without comparing thousands of models side-by-side. For example, if there is some way to pull up a subsystem model and run a mapkey to show the modification date of all the models in the subsystem, I can easily sort it and determine if anything will affect my design. Basically, I want to implement some kind of crude change log that I can view inside of Pro/E while I'm looking at the models I'm working on.
If anyone can suggest a good way to handle this issue I would love to hear your idea.
