SVNworks

SVNworks is a custom Windows MSIX application that integrates Apache Subversion with SOLIDWORKS workflows. It provides file-locking awareness, repository status visibility, and streamlined version control for CAD teams to prevent overwrite conflicts and improve collaboration.

The application bridges the gap between SVN's version control capabilities and SOLIDWORKS' binary file format, as the lack of merging ability in CAD files makes traditional version control methods ineffective. By providing real-time feedback on file status and lock states directly within the file opening environment, SVNworks enhances team productivity and reduces the risk of data loss due to conflicting edits.
