What is CAD Systems Management

  

As all good CAD managers shall know, CAD Systems Management is a critical area in any drawing office.  Much as the IT guy taking care of the and IT users, hardware, networking, and software setup of the office, CAD management takes control of your CAD systems, design and document data-sets.

 

It use to be the case were only 2D drawings were being produced, and therefore just one CAD systems could do the job. Now however  there is 3D with even smarter Feature based CAD systems, AutoCAD, Inventor, Architectural Desktop,   3D Max, PRO-E and solid works to name just a few, resulting in many companies having a multi-system drawing office. Therefore making exchanging files between multiple users and various CAD packages whilst managing designs and controlling the flow of data becomes a much more complex job.

FAQs

 

 

Q|     I have an IT guy, why should I need a CAD Manager or even just CAD Systems Management Services?

 

A|     IT guys are great, their knowledge and skills are valuable, however their knowledge of specialist software such as Autodesk AutoCAD or Inventor is limited to as little as installation.  They don't understand the inside of a CAD system.

Did you know>

  

A drawing office with poor CAD management in place,  on average spends over £1,500 a year per operator?

 

With 10% of the average working day spent waiting on drawing files to open, respond to commands, looking for drawings, searching for drawing components, tweaking drawing geometry and annotation styles, the list goes on

 

Do the sums |

Average CAD operator wage      =              £22,000  / £8.48

Average working hours /day        =              9

10%  Working hour                       =              54min.   (60x9x10%)

Daily cost per operator                 =              £7.63

Yearly cost per operator              =              £1,562 (7.63 x 5 x 40)

 

Now ask > how many CAD operators you have?

 

 
 
 
 
 

Q|      My CAD operators have been spending hours on each design they are working on creating duplicate components of various sizes, is there a way to speed up this process?

 

A|     Yes, and there is more than one way this can be achieved depending on A) the system release i.e autoCAD 2002. B) The complexity of the design.  You could create a lisp programme which asks the operator for the critical sizes and have the geometry automatically generated. If you find the geometry has a ..More
