Onshape (the complete CAD runs in a web browser) has built-in document management (version control, review, approval, sharing, ..).

I’ve used to do mechanical design with Pro/Engineer for several years. Now I occasionally do some mechanical design stuff in Onshape and all I can say is that this is a tool designed by elite mechanical engineers and developed by elite software engineers.

Regarding document management it is like going from assembly to some high level programming language.

The only downside could be that it cannot run on premise. Everything is in the cloud.

So I would not agree that non-software engineering is behind the times:-)

(I’m not affiliated with onshape)

update: Onshape was bought by PTC (the developer of Pro/Engineer). I hope they won’t screw it up:-|
