## GrabCAD Workbench Reviews
  ### 1. GrabCad Review

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jonathan K. | Research and Development Engineering Manager, NPI Engineering Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 13, 2015

**What do you like best about GrabCAD Workbench?**

Ease of access to any and all models across the company portfolio is a great tool. The ease of searching for already designed parts and components in circulation reduces design and verification time as well as saves money during the design process, knowing what parts and components have already been designed and could already be in use.

**What do you dislike about GrabCAD Workbench?**

The need to remember to "lock" the parts you are currently working on is essential. Without locking the part form further changes could results in two people working on the same part at the same time. Changes then would be confusing and revision history could become a mess.
Slow internet access could also slow file transfer and become a problem for larger files.

**Recommendations to others considering GrabCAD Workbench:**

Remember to Lock files


**What problems is GrabCAD Workbench solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Need to contain all designed parts in one location for the entire engineering department to have access while conducting designs and analysis work.
