 Don't assume that the consulting design engineer will maintain a history of manufacturing files for you. If maintaining a history of manufacturing files is something you expect your consultant to do, expect to have to pay for the service. Reliable, traceable archiving isn't free, easy, or fun. It's work, and not the sort the design engineer wants to do.
-Don't ask the design engineer to just regenerate the production documents they sent you before because you either lost them or don't want to dig them up. Regenerating files that have been previously vetted requires vetting them all over again. In most cases this means a full round of testing and prototype building. A good  designer will //not// release to manufacturing anything that has not been properly vetted. It's their ass on the line if something somehow got messed up in the regeneration.
