eCADinfo Features
eCADinfo’s engineering data management features can save you millions. Overcome every workflow bottleneck in engineering drawing management.
File Vault
Drawings and Documents in eCADinfo are stored in a file vault with a hierarchical storage scheme. It would be possible to store all Engineering Data into the single system.
File Management
Store and manage files in virtually any format such as procedures, specifications and qualification protocols in MS Word format, MS Excel spreadsheets, drawings in AutoCAD, Micro-station, Visio etc., manuals in Adobe PDF format, and MS Project schedules. Seamlessly link to files on the corporate network or store them securely in the eCADinfo database repository.
eCADinfo has specialized features for AutoCAD and other Drawing Management.
Drawing Display and Print Options:
Drawing Display and Print Options:
- Preview drawings directly in eCADinfo without native software
- Multiple Viewing and Zoom options
- Print/Plot drawings directly from eCADinfo
- View drawing attributes, blocks and layer information
Drawing Comparison
Visually compare two different versions of the drawing and easily find the changes made and thus reduce the reviewing time and increase the accuracy.

Referenced Drawings (X-Ref)
- Automatic detection of referenced drawings with options for automatic check in and check out for all referenced drawings
- Ability to extract block, layer and attribute drawing information from referenced drawings in addition to the main drawing
Configurable Organization of Data
Organize data in a user configurable hierarchy that is most meaningful to you and meets your existing business processes.
Security
Define and apply security templates defining access levels for objects and actions. Create any number of security templates for unprecedented flexibility and control. The security can be applied up to groups as well as users.
Standardization in File Naming
Standardize the file naming structure within the organization for easy search and retrieval.
Add markup to the documents/drawings during the review process. Add sticky notes to the documents at specific pages for future reference.
File Association
All the related documents can be associated visually, so that users can traverse through all the related documents without searching for same.
Mail
Drawings/Documents inside eCADinfo can be directly mailed to external users, with an audit trial of the same. Also Links of documents can be mailed to end-users who have access permission to DMS to view the same by clicking on the link.
File Comparison
Compare any 2 versions of drawings or documents visually and find the differences instantly making the review process easier.
Templates can be defined for actions to be taken for documents after certain period of time and assigned to documents, thereby reducing manual intervention of managing the documents.
Relationships
Visualize object relationships to predict impact of engineering, documentation, or project changes. For example, relate specification databases, drawings, SOPs, design specification document and protocols to each other to visualize the impact of change in one object to all other objects.
