Cadtop provides a range of features to support the controlled change of AutoCAD / MicroStation drawings:

• Check Out / Check In: Cadtop allows a user to checkout a drawing prior to change to ensure that it cannot be changed by anyone else. Anyone trying to access a checked out drawing will be informed automatically that drawing is involved in a change process. Users can view the checked-out revision of the drawing but cannot access the working copy.

• Once changes to the drawing have been completed, the drawing is checked-in. This will automatically incremented the drawing's revision and preserve the previous revision. Any user then searching for the drawing will automatically retrieve the latest revision.

• Update Properties: The properties of a drawing stored in the Docbase can be modified.

• Delete: The active drawing in AutoCAD / MicroStation can be deleted from its associated Docbase.

• Cadtop's "Bind" function allows users to create a single CAD file that from a parent drawing with one or more cross-references or images.  The resulting file is also stored as a Documentum rendition.
