Motivation
The design processes of mechanical engineering projects are often not captured when engineers are working on a project. Hence, this application aims to capture the design process in the least obtrusive ways possible by automatically archiving CAD and other relevant files of a team of engineers to a version control system.

Implementation
The DART desktop client is written with the .NET Framework in the C# programming language and the Windows API. The installer uses the Nullsoft Scriptable Install System.
Repository Access
Utilizing Java servlets as the core functionality of the back-end, the DART server allows for the stored file versions to be downloaded and viewed with a web browser.
User Manual
The client user manual is available inside the download from the link above and on this wiki page.
