CAD standards are a bone of contention for every CAD manager. For me, CAD standards are all about a single thing—productivity. It's all about decision-making. I don't want you spending time deciding what font to use or what lineweight to draw with. Those tasks don’t increase the project’s value. I want you to be able to focus on creating drawings that sell ideas to a client or help make manufacturing quicker and easier. You shouldn't need to worry about CAD standards. In this class I'll take you through the exact steps that I use to create a comprehensive set of tool palettes that deploy our company CAD standards. I'll show you how to deploy your tool palettes on the network, and how to update them from a central file. We will push as hard as we can into deploying scripts and macros from tool palettes, and cover some of the tips and hacks of tool palettes that you won't find in the help file.

Manufacturing companies often face challenges when transforming key product information, particularly the bills of materials (BOMs). Starting with a CAD BOM, an initial engineering BOM is created and shared with downstream processes. This BOM undergoes several transformations: first to a manufacturing BOM, then to a process BOM, and finally to a service BOM. Managing these BOMs and their transformations within a single PLM environment can significantly reduce errors, delays, and inconsistencies. PLM streamlines the entire process, enhancing efficiency and enabling Automation, Integration, & Customization. Join us to discover how a unified PLM system can seamlessly manage BOM transformations, ensuring accurate and timely updates across all stages. Understand how this integration supports better decision making and drives success in manufacturing operations.
