XDigital Drawing Store – CAD Independent

 

Products are manufactured based on the manufacturing drawings. It is vital that the colleagues access these manufacturing drawings quickly and easily, even when they are working at the manufacturing machines. It would be logical to store the drawings in one central company database.

How much time do you need to find the relevant drawings amongst a pile of PDFs? Are you sure you know the folder system where these files are stored well enough? Can you be sure that you have chosen the correct document for manufacturing? Is this the latest working version? What if the manufacturing drawing has changed? Can you follow this from the production line?

Manufacturing based on flawless drawings and data

 

The XDigital Drawing Store takes care of creating and accessing the manufacturing drawings. Your colleagues do not need to know in which folder structure to look for the drawings, XDigital Drawing Store’s displaying module takes care of that. All you need to do is to enter the documentation’s drawing number, file name or any textual data from the drawing into the search field. Digital Drawing Store program will display all drawings that match the search. This way you do not need to spend minutes with looking for the manufacturing documentation.

You can always work with the latest approved version

The manufacturing documents stored in the XDigital Drawing Store always store the latest approved version. The partners and colleagues of the company can access the approved manufacturing documentations through the simple and clear Digital Drawing Store program.

Batch save at the click of a button

Managing and finalising the manufacturing documentation (saving the PDF) is completely automated, this way ensuring that the manufacturing drawing does not take up too much of the engineer’s time.

How does XDigital Drawing Store work?

 

 

XDigital Drawing Store consists of three software, these create the XDigital Drawing Store System. The three software can be used individually, this way it is easy to introduce the new system to the company.

• Digital Drawing Store Viewer
• Digital Drawing Store CAD extension
  • SolidWorks, Solid Edge
• Digital Drawing Store Server

Manufacturing Drawings in XDigital Drawing Store are saved as PDF-s. The PDF files are stored in a shared folder on the company’s file server, in accordance with the company’s folder structure. The XDigital Drawing Store system builds upon this.

Digital Drawing Store Viewer

XDigital Drawing Store management program makes sure you find the latest PDF drawing in the digital store based on the drawing number or other manufacturing data and displays it on the colleague’s digital device. The drawings can also be printed from these devices with a pre-set watermark displaying the date. All the actions performed in the XDigital Drawing Store can be logged upon request so you can see when the manufacturing data was downloaded.

Digital Drawing Store CAD extension

The other XDigital Drawing Store module integrates into your favourite CAD system and generates PDF drawing documentation automatically based on the manufacturing drawings. This way the designer does not need to manually open the manufacturing drawings and save them in a PDF format.

Digital Drawing Store Server

The third component of XDigital Drawing Store has to be installed on the company’s file server. It manages the created PDF manufacturing documentations on this file server. Whether the PDF manufacturing drawings were created manually or with the help of a CAD extension, this component makes sure that the new manufacturing documentation is saved to the right place and replaces the old manufacturing document version, which is moved to the substitute parts folder.
