• accelerate publication of CAD files from AutoCAD to BIW
• shorten multi-step process – publication time cut by 50%+

BIW: AutoCAD Integration cuts the time, effort and expense involved in publishing drawings from AutoCAD.

Publishing information to a collaboration system can be complicated – depending on the project, this can involve files in DWF, PLT and PDF formats (perhaps also the source DWG), usually captured in a ZIP file.

Creating and readying these files for upload relies on third-party applications and can be laborious, time-consuming and therefore costly. BIW has developed an application that is activated from within AutoCAD. It creates the required files automatically, binding in X-refs where appropriate, and prepares the meta-data needed for rapid publication to the BIW system. A multi-step process has been cut to just two, much faster stages – which can often be completed in less than half the time of the conventional approach.
