I'm trying to find a free, or relatively inexpensive software to organize assembly parts and everything that goes with them.
Such as:
-DXF outline for plasma cutting
-Plasma cut programs for the different sheet metal thicknesses
-Bend sheets for the press brake
-Notes on setup etc for press brake
-Perhaps pictures of more complicated setups on the press brake
-Assembly notes
-Welding instructions/ welder settings notes
-Packaging instructions/ pictures for any helpers I may have etc
-Packing checklist when shipping bulk unassembled parts
I make currently 3 size of rocket stoves for a customer and want to organize the mess I have somehow. Each stove has between 15-30 parts from maybe 4-6 different thickness of sheets. I have a NAS drive that I have started to set up so that my desktops and tablet computers can all access the same files, but am trying to find something to organize it better than just a series of windows folders. I want something I can pull up the stove I am working on and find the part then have all the info related to that part right at hand.
I dont even know what it would be called, so not sure where to even start looking.
