Extract attribute values from user defined blocks in an AutoCAD™ DWG file into list properties of a SharePoint document library, allowing view and search on metadata. |
|
Use SharePoint as an
inexpensive repository for AutoCAD™ drawings with
DWG Parser Solution Accelerator. Use
SharePoint's full featured document management along with collaboration
tools such as project and task management. This Solution Accelerator
extracts title block information for use in SharePoint document library
properties. Combined with other Bamboo products, such as Desktop Explorer
and PDF Conversion, enriches SharePoint to support capabilities normally
associated with expensive drawing management systems.
Existing drawing
management systems include many mature features to support DWG drawings, but
they are limited in enabling companies to extend the collaboration of these
AutoCAD drawings to user groups outside-the-firewall (i.e., suppliers and
vendors).
Today, AutoCAD users must upload their DWG files to SharePoint and manually enter
any metadata, such as title block attributes, in the properties of the file
in a document library. This process is both time-consuming and error-prone,
resulting in increased difficulty in locating a DWG file when filtering the
document library by a particular property that does not have the correct
data.
The DWG Parser Solution Accelerator uses a
server side service and web parts to allow the user to define the attributes
to be extracted from a title block and the SharePoint document library
properties to be populated when the DWG file is added to the repository.
This automatic extract of title block attributes aids viewing, searching and
eliminates manual data entry error.
