What is Drawingmanager?

Over the last 20 years we’ve seen how modeling software products such as Solid Edge have emerged and been improved upon, on a day to day basis. Features, applications, templates, design, efficiency; everything just keeps getting better, right? But no matter how much simpler, quicker and more efficient they get, the same problem still remains.

 

Most of Solid Edge users are still using Windows® application folders and network drives to manage their data, and over 70% of them lose their design files and engineering work due to the lack of a file management system. Whether it’s because colleagues are not available at the critical moment, or because they’ve actually left the company, a huge amount of time is wasted on finding old files and tracking the progress of engineering changes. And what about when files cannot be found? They have to be redone and even more time is wasted. To put it in numbers, a full day of work in a five-day work week is lost on data management tasks. Ridiculous!

 

That’s why we’ve developed Drawingmanager, a simple and low cost software solution specially designed to find and manage Solid Edge files within seconds. Drawingmanager is easy to install, easy to use, it requires virtually no support, no complex client-server installations, and no special training.

 

Thanks to its extensive search capabilities, files can quickly be found and opened in Solid Edge, Revision Manager and Solid Edge Viewer. Drawingmanager automatically imports and synchronizes Solid Edge standard and custom made data fields, and allows you not only to save any changes made to the files, but to share them throughout the whole company with different Drawingmanager libraries. This way, the files can be viewed, printed or modified by any department in your company.

 

Just think about the time you will save! And without having to go through the trouble -or the expenses- of working with more complex PLM systems, but still using a software that’s been endorsed by a company as big as Siemens. In fact, Drawingmanager can be seen as a stepping stone to the Siemens PLM systems, and that’s why Siemens has approved Drawingmanager as a certified Software and Technology Partner.

 

Modeling software products are improving quicker and quicker every day, but you know what? We are proud to say that we are keeping up with them.
