Reference-aware file structure
Keep part and subassembly relationships visible so teams can understand the product definition rather than opening disconnected files one by one.
CAD file management with a SolidWorks add-in
Make every SolidWorks file easier to find, trust, and review.
Manage CAD files, references, metadata, versions, and collaboration in a cloud workspace that connects to the SolidWorks environment your engineering team already uses.
Connected CAD data
File management that understands assemblies, not just filenames.
SolidWorks projects contain parts, drawings, subassemblies, and references that must stay together. Sibe is designed to keep that product context visible while teams work, review, and release.
Version history and rollback
Record who changed a file and when, then return to an earlier version when a design decision or review requires it.
Advanced search and metadata
Make part numbers, descriptions, materials, project identifiers, and other useful properties easier to discover outside the CAD window.
Check-in and check-out
Reduce accidental overwrites by making editing ownership visible and keeping the latest checked-in version available to the team.
Designed for real projects
Start with one assembly and measure the difference.
Connect the add-in, check in a representative project, inspect the references and metadata, then invite a non-CAD reviewer to test the browser workflow.
FAQ
CAD file management questions
Does Sibe work with existing SolidWorks files?
Sibe is designed to connect with existing SolidWorks projects through its native add-in so teams can evaluate the workflow on real files.
Can Sibe keep assembly references organized?
Yes. The workflow is built around related parts, drawings, and subassemblies rather than treating every CAD file as an isolated document.
Can non-CAD teammates search or review design data?
Teams can use browser-based collaboration and controlled sharing so non-CAD stakeholders can review selected product information without installing SolidWorks.

What CAD file management changes for a SolidWorks team
In plain English: Sibe CAD file management treats a SolidWorks project as a connected product definition: parts, drawings, subassemblies, references, metadata, and versions move together. That helps teams replace filename guessing with a workflow they can inspect and review.
Disconnected references
Shared folders make it easy to open a part without understanding which assembly, drawing, or revision it belongs to.
Reference-aware control
The native add-in and cloud workspace keep check-in/check-out, version history, metadata, and related files closer to the engineering context.
14-day evaluation
Use a representative assembly during the published free-trial evaluation and verify the reference and review workflow on real project data.
Official pricing and trial details- Reference-aware
- Parts, drawings, and subassemblies are evaluated as related CAD data rather than isolated filenames.
- Searchable context
- Part numbers, descriptions, materials, project identifiers, and other available properties become easier to find outside the CAD window.
- Review outcome
- A non-CAD reviewer can inspect selected information in a browser without requiring a SolidWorks seat, subject to workspace permissions.
- Step 1. Choose an assembly with the references that usually create the most confusion.
- Step 2. Check it in, inspect the structure and metadata, and make one real design change.
- Step 3. Invite a reviewer and confirm that the version under review is the one the team intended to share.
Workflow comparison
| Workflow need | Common manual approach | Sibe workflow to evaluate |
|---|---|---|
| Current friction | Disconnected parts, drawings, and filenames | Reference-aware product context |
| Version control | Manual naming and folder checks | Check-in/check-out and visible history |
| Review outcome | Screenshots or exports | Controlled browser review |
