CAD is the most productive environment in which to manage and modify engineering documents. Integrating these older designs into CAD has created two potential environments: hybrid raster CAD and vector CAD, which is the result of a raster-to-vector conversion. Substantial savings can also be realized in a managed revision process. CAD has already proven itself as a... 97% EDM/PDM Summary: Cost/benefit analysis. The costs associated with revising drawings are dependent on the method and solution used. * Increased value of paper drawings through integration with CAD and EDM/PDM tools.
