What is CAD Drawing Management?
A computer-aided design (CAD) drawing is a detailed 2D or 3D illustration that outlines the components of engineering, manufacturing, or architectural projects. Engineers create CAD drawings using software invented specifically for this purpose, as it helps organizations improve their quality of design, as well as document-based communications.
Organizations can leverage a drawing management system to improve key metrics, including increasing efficiency and productivity and reducing rework. Additionally, these systems ensure company IP is protected from unauthorized viewers or outside entities.
Advantages of Digital CAD Drawing Markup
2:11 min
EngineBox not only provides robust mark-up capabilities, but is displayed in real-time, allowing multiple users to collaborate over drawing files and documents simultaneously, using shapes, videos, pictures, and audio.
CAD drawing management is an essential part of the engineering design workflow. With the plethora of drawings and documents required to completed a project, engineers can benefit from a drawing management solution, as it helps their organization manage and secure drawings and documents across teams, disciplines, and departments.

Drawing Management Solutions
ImageSite is the perfect drawing management solution for engineering-based companies, as it supports the top CAD software including AutoCAD, Inventor, MicroStation, Revit, NX, and SolidWorks. Many engineering companies rely on CAD drawing management software to support the extensive CAD files required to carry out day-to-day operations. That’s why ImageSite offers advanced CAD connector modules.
Though not a full-fledged Product Data Management (PDM) application, ImageSite is a “lite PDM,” as not all organizations need a large, complex software solution for managing engineering drawings. As a lite PDM, ImageSite and EngineBox provide much of the same functionality as PDMs, including check-out/check-in, reference file identification and management, title block integration, and status based permissioning and access.
Title Block Integration automatically synchronizes Block/Tag and field data with ImageSite search attributes. General text data within CAD files is fully searchable, allowing users to find CAD files based on general phrase searches. ImageSite integrations include dynamic reference file detection, upload, and database linking so it can automatically read reference file connections, upload the files and link them correctly in the ImageSite repository.
ImageSite provides all the necessary CAD document management tools from within the application, without needing the CAD application, making it easy for users to manage engineering change processes and transmit important CAD drawings throughout the organization. Here are a few of ImageSite’s CAD drawing management features:

Benefits
Imagesite CAD Drawing Management integrates both design and release phases from major CAD formats such as: AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Inventor and MicroStation
Essential Product Data Management (PDM) functions including: check-out, check-in, reference files, version control and title block integration, no need for over-sized PDM software
Use CAD application ribbon add-ins to integrate design work with ImageSite’s functionality all in the background; no need to leave the design suite to check-out/check-in or view files
Eliminate time spent looking for the most current drawings while ensuring all versions are available, including applicable red-lines and video and photo attachments. Even create major and minor versions automatically to improve release and in-design identification
Easily work with CAD file layers and assign layers to groups allowing users to select appropriate grouped layers
Handle large and complex assembly and drawing data sets with automated publishing to formats such as PDF or DWF for post-design functions
Save money by providing access to CAD product/building/plant drawings and technical data without CAD software using a single viewer for all file formats, including built-in markup capabilities
Manage CAD drawings throughout their life cycle using life cycle and workflow functionality based on structured change processes, distributed collaboration and approvals, and formal retention/archival policies
Additional EDMS Features
The eQuorum Customer Promise
In 2005, eQuorum developed the first all browser-based EDMS. The system, although for on-premise use, was still created to remove client software and JAVA from user computers and allow users to have a single viewer based on the simple navigation functionality of browsers. Today, eQuorum provides that same application in a private Cloud or a SaaS Cloud option. We can do this because we are, and have always been, browser-based, understanding the enhanced speed, security, and usability of this technology.
With the abundance of document management systems on the market today, there’s no doubt that choosing the right Cloud document management software can be a difficult decision. eQuorum is here to provide a comprehensive, powerful, and most importantly – affordable Cloud document management solution. We believe in providing real value to our customers by eliminating unnecessary costs, providing industry-leading functionality, and equipping your team with the right tools using cutting edge technology to bring your products to market faster.
