AUTOCAD DRAWING & MODEL MANAGEMENT
Streamline your design workflow.
Adept is optimized for drawing and XREF management in AutoCAD-based applications.
- Support for multiple AutoCAD applications
- Runs inside the AutoCAD drawing software
- View & manage file relationships (XREFS, 3D)
- Bi-directional attribute/property links
- Powerful search for easy design reuse
- Automated version control
- Centralized view and markup
- Support for configurable workflows
Use Adept with all your favorite AutoCAD-based applications.
We build integrations that work equally well across AutoCAD, AutoCAD Electrical, AutoCAD Mechanical, and other AutoCAD-based applications. Adept also manages Autodesk Navisworks and Autodesk Inventor.
Using the Adept CAD integration task panes drastically improves the design workflow.
XREF File Management
No more broken relationships.
Adept 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.
Engineering Change MANAGEMENT
Automate workflow and engineering change management to streamline your process.
Adept’s AutoCAD drawing management automates your entire engineering change process, including versioning documents, routing them through pre-defined approval processes, notifying stakeholders, and tracking each step of the workflow. Workflows can be triggered automatically upon check in, and designers can approve or reject files in a workflow from within the AutoCAD application.
