Register now for the live webinar on March 25th: CAD Collaboration: Advanced Rendering to the Rescue
We are taught from a young age to share. More and more students are encouraged to work in groups. In our jobs we form teams to work on special projects and attend meetings to collaborate on company initiatives. If sharing is so important, why is it so difficult to share and collaborate with CAD files? Well, we have very good news: you can now share your CAD files more effectively with Adlib’s new CAD module!
Convert CAD files to high-fidelity PDFs to enable sharing and collaboration
CAD files are often too large to email and require expensive software for viewing. Are users in your organization frustrated with the complexity of trying to share CAD files with co-workers or external stakeholders to gather feedback? Adlib’s new CAD module with our CAD-to-PDF conversion technology enables organizations to efficiently collaborate with internal and external parties. In addition, the rendered PDFs can also be merged with other file types including Microsoft Word and Microsoft PowerPoint for inclusion in presentations, RFPs and annual reports.
Quality and integrity of CAD files maintained
When converting CAD files to PDF, users are often concerned with the integrity of the CAD document. Basic rendering desktop tools will flatten all of the complex layers created in the design. Unlike basic document conversion solutions, the Adlib CAD module maintains file integrity by preserving the layers encoded in the original CAD file, allowing recipients to view all of the information, not just bits and pieces.
Supporting multiple CAD programs
With a broad range of input file types supported by our new CAD module, Adlib can now provide more professionals in the architecture, engineering, design, manufacturing, city planning, utilities and construction industries with the advanced CAD-to-PDF transformation tool they require to enhance collaboration with internal and external stakeholders. See the chart below for a list of compatible input file types.
