Information  When You Want It

Because information changes so fast and project teams are often dispersed, online collaboration is integral to efficient project management. With Autodesk Buzzsaw you can forget about missed deliveries, outdated drawings, or last-minute travel arrangements, because team members can access your information as soon as you post it.

Centralized Information and Communication

From notifying the team about a schedule change to marking up drawings and reviewing plans in real time with team members in diverse locations, you can use Autodesk Buzzsaw to connect your entire project team. Having a central location for all your projects makes it easier to manage your workflow. You have immediate access to all the information you need to make decisions at every stage of a project. Assigned team members can open and save AutoCAD® drawings directly to Autodesk Buzzsaw. And using the free Volo® View Express viewer, designated team members can view and mark up those drawings-without AutoCAD software.

  • Create a single site to manage all project information and communication
  • Store all company and project member information in a central directory.
  • Invite users to any project and assign different levels of access.
  • Inform team members of changes and updates using email notifications.
  • Track file versions automatically. When a new version is uploaded, older versions are automatically saved to document the trail of changes.
  • Mark up MicroStation® drawings and add comments using Cimmetry Systems' AutoVue Professional viewer (not included with Buzzsaw software), without changing the original file.
