XREF File Management

No more broken relationships.

Adept AutoCAD drawing manager keeps your AutoCAD file relationships intact as they are checked in/out, routed through workflows, moved, copied or renamed. A tree view displays where-used and composed-of information, so you know the impact of any change.

  • Supports AutoCAD XREFs and image file relationships.

Bi-Directional Attribute Links

Leverage AutoCAD drawing metadata without redundant data entry.

Adept AutoCAD drawing management bi-directionally links to AutoCAD attributes.

Data Extraction - Metadata is extracted from AutoCAD title block attributes or properties and is populated in Adept so it can be searched on, reported on, and referenced.

Adept to AutoCAD - Authorized users can push data from Adept fields to AutoCAD drawings in batch mode, without having to open individual CAD drawing files, saving time, and eliminating duplicate data entry.

Search Tools and Design Reuse

Find and re-use designs in seconds
to free up a day per week.

AutoCAD users spend 20-30% of their time searching for information. Adept helps deliver projects faster by giving designers instant access to version correct designs from anywhere at any time. Batch copy and rename designs from one project for use on another, so you’re not wasting time recreating them, while ensuring efficient CAD drawing control.

AUTOMATED AUTOCAD VERSION & REVISION CONTROL

Get the right version to the right person at the right time.

Adept’s AutoCAD drawing revision control ensures there are no more duplicates and costly mistakes. Adept also guarantees everyone has access to the correct AutoCAD drawing and related Xrefs.

Major/minor versions - Design teams can increment minor versions in a design phase and major versions upon pre-defined approval processes. 

References - Control if a parent file references the latest version of a child or is docked to a specific version

Revisions - Adept can auto-increment a custom revision number in your title block upon events in Adept, such as check in/out or final approval.
