CAD Management

CAD Management is more than maintaining software and standards.  CAD Management is also about making an efficent, standardized user interface that is customized to your specific needs.  Custom menus, toolbars and specialized tools that generate the data and automate the drawing process is what AutoCAD and other high end graphic programs are designed to do.  Every company works different and has their own way of producing the drawings and graphics that communicate their designs, ideas and production drawings to those who require the information.  Customizing your CAD software to automate and simplify the process is worth every cent of your investment.  It makes employees more productive, standardizes systems for all who use them, gives your company a competive edge and minimizes loss from computer and software upgrades by keeping the user interface familiar.

Below are just a few examples of how we can improve your production through CAD Management.

 

Custom Menus



Creating custom menus for the specific tools you use most often is the simplist way and one of the most cost effective ways to improve your efficency.

Custom Draw Routines



Custom draw routines are the best way to improve your efficency.  A few clicks of the mouse and a routine can complete a tedious or complex task with minimal effort.

Custom Toolbars



We all know that a picture speaks a thousand words and so a small icon can represent a big idea. Custom toolbars make quick work of repetative tasks, are easy to find and organize your work space. 

Custom Symbols & Fonts



Every office has their favorite symbols and special characters that are used on a regular basis.  We can create custom font styles that speed the process of annotation and standardize use of special characters.

Custom Document Setups



Standardizing and controling document setups increases productivity while keeping a professional looking edge to all of your pages and drawings.  Document setups also help your company to maximize the potential of your CAD and graphic software.

Custom Calculators



Pulling out that pocket calculator or bringing up a special program to perform a complex calculation can be incorporated right into your work space and incorporated into what you are curently working on.

Custom Smart Symbols



Smart Symbols that interact with your drawing make common tasks a snap and standardize your drawings. The routine shown above will draw a bevel pitch symbol similar to the one shown in the DETAIL OF PL - "PC" at 12 to 5-5/16 by simply slecting a diagonal line and choosing to draw the symbol above the line or below the line.

Custom Vendor Integration



Having the product information you use most at a click of the mouse and being able to import vendor graphic files, CAD drawings and documentation will save hours of research and lookup time while keeping your office organized and up to date.
