PDMworks is the best answer to that. It's pretty inexpensive.

You could also check the option to "open referenced documents as read only". that way you can work on assemblies while someone else works on subassemblies and parts. you can then select "reload" and uncheck "read only" if you need access to a particular part or subassy.

But compared to PDMworks this is a ghetto method of doc sharing.
