## 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.

### 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.

### 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.

## 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.

## CAD file management questions

Sibe is designed to connect with existing SolidWorks projects through its native add-in so teams can evaluate the workflow on real files.

Yes. The workflow is built around related parts, drawings, and subassemblies rather than treating every CAD file as an isolated document.

Teams can use browser-based collaboration and controlled sharing so non-CAD stakeholders can review selected product information without installing SolidWorks.
