Untangling the Timeline: Challenges and Opportunities in Supporting Version Control in Modern Computer-Aided Design
AI总结：
本文探讨了现代CAD中版本控制的挑战与机遇，提出通过改进工具和机制来提升协作与反思能力。
摘要：
版本控制在机械计算机辅助设计（CAD）中至关重要，以实现可追溯性、管理产品变体并支持协作。然而，其在现代CAD软件中作为产品开发的重要信息基础设施实施时，仍然因设计数据的复杂性和相互依赖性而面临问题。本文对用户报告的现代CAD工具中版本控制的挑战进行了系统性回顾。分析170个在线论坛帖子，我们识别出跨越版本管理、连续性、范围和分布的反复出现的社会技术问题。我们的发现促使对版本控制如何为CAD设计和改进进行更广泛反思，并激发了对更好支持表达工作、促进跨边界协作以及具有基础设施反思能力的工具和机制的机会。本研究为CAD软件提供商提供了可行见解，并突显了研究人员重新思考版本控制的机会。
英文摘要：
Version control is critical in mechanical computer-aided design (CAD) to enable traceability, manage product variation, and support collaboration. Yet, its implementation in modern CAD software as an essential information infrastructure for product development remains plagued by issues due to the complexity and interdependence of design data. This paper presents a systematic review of user-reported challenges with version control in modern CAD tools. Analyzing 170 online forum threads, we identify recurring socio-technical issues that span the management, continuity, scope, and distribution of versions. Our findings inform a broader reflection on how version control should be designed and improved for CAD and motivate opportunities for tools and mechanisms that better support articulation work, facilitate cross-boundary collaboration, and operate with infrastructural reflexivity. This study offers actionable insights for CAD software providers and highlights opportunities for researchers to rethink version control.
