This in effect combines a programme that has the necessary CAD functionality, and, just as importantly, the trust of engineering personnel and CAD Users, with a system that organises the CAD files, associated references and their metadata in such a way that that collaboration is improved.

In addition the ability of project managers to view and measure progress is extended, and the burdensome task of a company to maintain audit trails that comply with industry regulations is made easier.
