CAD File Management Shown in Document Locator

By DE Editors

ColumbiaSoft (Portland, OR) released an improved integration with AutoCAD in its next version of Document Locator that speeds the performance of CAD file management in the document management system by using Autodesk RealDWG technology.

The addition of RealDWG technology improves upon a standard Document Locator integration with AutoCAD that includes easier organization and searching of CAD files. This is due to Document Locator's ability to extract title block values and other drawing attributes and automatically profile file information for fast retrieval.

Other benefits include maintaining prior versions of CAD drawings allowing reuse and retrieval, and direct access to document management functionality from within AutoCAD's menus.

Document Locator's ability to combine management of CAD files within the same system can be used to manage project documents, e-mails, and virtually all other types of electronic files. In addition, Document Locator promotes consistent reuse of intellectual property (IP) through the controlled management of templates.
