Formtek Engineering Data Management Solution

• The EDM Module for Alfresco provides:

• Renders AutoCAD and MicroStation file types to thumbnail and vector PDF for viewing in Alfresco.
• Options for display include the current view of the base drawing, all views of the base drawing, or the complete drawing with all XRefs.
• Pre-configured with a content model for both Engineering Document and Drawing types, with view, edit and search forms.
• Extract attributes present in AutoCAD DWG or DXF files, including title block attributes, and map them to the predefined and/or custom content model properties in Alfresco.

The EDM Connector for AutoCAD provides access to the functionality available in the Alfresco repository including browse, open, check-in, check-out and view/edit metadata properties, directly from within the AutoCAD application. It also maintains the integrity of a base drawing’s XRefs by automatically associating and mapping their locations within the Alfresco repository.
