    Default Who's using Buzzsaw?

    When Buzzsaw was first being introduced and tested, I was one of the premier members. In those days membership was free. When they later started to charge for the service, I was able to maintain my free membership for several years since I was classified as premier or whatever they labeled us at the time for being "the special first".

    I've always stayed loyal to this product and watched how its continued to mature.

    I know most everyone sees ads everywhere to try Buzzsaw. Have you tried it? Are you using it? What do you think?

    What methods are you using for drawing collaboration? After all, email isn't a viable option anymore. Step right up and tell us your story.

    When I upgraded to 2002 and Inventor 5 i had the option to load the Buzzsaw links on the cpu. I did that but when i tried seeing what it would do one day it told me i needed to register and pay.

    Therefore, I have never used it, probably never will, & personally thought i had heard that it was dead in the water on CNBC. I still e-mail stuff around. I love the dwf & viewer and so do my clients.

    For one or two drawings here and there, email still works fine. For bigger projects that are too big to email, that's more the Buzzsaw focus.

    We started back in 2000 when you could get 25MB for free. We tested it for about one year and then purchased space and implemented Buzzsaw. Everybody is happy as long as people follow the usage procedures.

    Thumbs up Re: Who's using Buzzsaw?

    we have been on a big project for the last 6 months, the site has worked great for us, consultants post their dwg, dwf, pdf, and plt files. it has made plotting the set easy and on time. i really enjoy the "stats", i can see when and who logged in and what they did, it has really help us with consultants accountability.
    we signed a year subscription last month, because of the success we experienced.
    our employees can login at home or on the road and do work - that is good for everyone.
    it is a little $$$ (pricey) but worth it, when all is said and done.

    our construction department has been using it for... I want to say about 2 years. not sure. I was happy with it for my part, but, for whatever reason, they decided to switch to something else (although we're still keeping the buzzsaw site until the last couple projects on it get closed out).
