ADEPT ADD-ONS
Additional Adept Add-Ons
APPROVAL SIGNATURE VALIDATION
$6,995
One-time fee per Adept installation
The Add-On ensures each document has a clear record of approval signature and date at every step of a workflow. Approval signatures are tracked on the document's Data Card and can be automatically pushed to the document itself through mapped properties. Approval steps require password authentication from the approved. The Add-On can be configured for use with any Adept workflow.
ASSIGN WORKFLOW
$1,995
One-time fee per Adept installation
Each Adept Library has a default workflow defined by the Administrator. This Add-On gives the user an option to select and initiate other workflows upon document check in, based on the options configured by the Administrator. The workflow assignment is recorded in Adept's Audit Trail and Workflow tab in the Document Dashboard.
MULTI-VERSION HANDLER
$6,995
One-time fee per Adept installation
The Adept Check In/Out ensures there is one master document and saves all previous versions with the same file name. Adept does not create uncontrolled duplicates or renamed versions. For all the documents created prior to Adept, however, there are often duplicates and renamed versions. It's difficult for anyone to confidently find the right document version, which leads to wasted time and expensive mistakes. This Add-On allows an organization to easily combine duplicates and renamed versions into one document set with a single file name and a proper version history. The user can review the relevant documents and reorder them up or down to stack the versions properly. Users everywhere will always find the latest version and will have access to the complete version history.

Adept is document management software built for engineering and operations teams that need centralized control over drawings, CAD files, and business documents.

-

-
Yes. Adept supports local, global, and external users from a single system. Concurrent licenses can be shared across locations and time zones.
-

-
Adept integrates with AutoCAD, Inventor, SOLIDWORKS, MicroStation, AutoCAD Electrical, and Navisworks. It manages complex CAD file relationships including XREFs, parts, assemblies, drawings, and configurations, with a bi-directional link to CAD attributes and properties. For AutoCAD, Inventor, and SOLIDWORKS users, Adept runs directly inside the application — letting them search for files, preview designs, check in and out, view where-used and composed-of relationships, and approve or reject workflow items without leaving their CAD environment. Adept also offers integrated visualization and markup for additional formats including Creo, NX, and others.
-
Adept is priced per named or concurrent user. It's available in four license tiers — Explorer, Reviewer, Creator, and Desktop — based on the level of access each user needs. You can mix license tiers and named and concurrent licenses to match how your team actually works.
