KollabNet CAD enables you to link CAD objects to KollabNet DesignMaps. This makes good business sense:

Benefits

• You'll know in real time when the product model is not in line with the customer requirements, saving time, money--and your reputation

• You can make sure that no-one makes model changes that "break" the model for others--preventing costly and time-consuming errors

• You can even avoid the cost and challenges of CAD file interoperability, by simply linking key dimensions of models from disparate CAD systems through a DesignMap

• You can have the output of engineering calculations drive CAD model dimensions directly, eliminating the possibility of confusing and expensive transcription errors

Features
Exposing CAD model dimensions as objects gives the designer fine-grained control over a project.

• Link CAD model dimensions to DesignBlocks for ongoing validation; if a dimension exceeds a limit, KollabNet lets you know

• Prevent project-team members from making unauthorized changes to a CAD model

• Capture and preserve the rationale behind CAD model changes
