Depends on functionality... I use a graphics tracker for file management with thumbnails for accurate identification and a format conversion generator for multiple formats. Powered by a database, each graphic has searchable metadata, automated file numbering and version control. This is especially important for layered graphics with standard base drawings. Also excellent for associating with assembly numbers and other where-used information. A graphics tracker is aabsolutely essential when working with equipment and engineering graphics.
