That is my recollection
as well. If you right-click on the media it presents the option to "Open
with external viewer." That will launch whatever viewer the operating
system has associated with the file type.
In the case of AutoCAD
files, licensing might provide problematic. My only experience with
AutoCAD has been with the full version and each license is quite
expensive. There may be some less expensive viewer software that will
allow the end users to view the documents.

I'm remembering vaguely
Dimitry mentioning that there is a way to create a Media Type and then specify
which external (non-TMS) application should launch when you select a media
rendition of that type.

We are
using TMS Media Module also as an Archive for our University and have students
work (video or audio files) and of course thousands of digital images and
documents (pdfs) and publish them also on our emuseum (http://sammlungen-archive.zhdk.ch)
We use standards as quicktime movie and mp3 as media formats. To archive
software which is created by students of Arts&Media is still an
unsolved problem because we cannot "deliver" the environment required to
run the software out of TMS.

Thankfully
our collection predates A/V media as art, so we have not had to address many of
these issues. However, we did borrow hardware and software for a recent
exhibition. We treated these as a physical object, attached it to loans and
printed receipts, but we never attached the "electronic object" using the media
module, etc.
We may
need to readdress this policy, once we start adding out archives to TMS (Here's
some irony for you: I added TMS records for a series of backup tape-disks for
our ARGUS database prior to transferring them to the
archives)

I would
add a related question: whether anyone is using TMS to track digital files that
are part of accessioned artworks-for example, a QuickTime file that is part of a
video. We are beginning to deal with this kind of digital object but
haven't come up with a definitive plan.

Bonjour,
One of our curators send me this question.
Does your institution use TMS to describe and manage software that are to be used to "read" digital files? If yes, how do you describe the software in TMS? We are thinking of software like AutoDesk Maya and AutoCAD. We are actually working on a digital 3D architectural archives. In our conservation strategies, we plan to store software used to open 3D files at the same level than the 3D files. Please not that the software it is not a part of the 3D archives we have received but it is definitely indispensable to have and to keep the software accessible to ensure the access of the 3D archives.
Thank you for your help.
