CAD Services

CADadvice

If you are thinking of buying CAD software, upgrading your current applications, or looking to expand the potential of your CAD software, the-e-shop can provide advice and recommendations on the most suitable solution for your needs. Additionally, the-e-shop can also advise on implementation strategies including cost planning, CAD training, and systems deployment.

CADmanage

One step up from our CADadvice service is our ability to take the stress and worry of installing or managing the deployment of any brand of CAD software in your office. As an additional resource to your existing IT infrastructure, the-e-shop can provide cost effective technical expertise setting up your CAD system, specifically tailored to your exact workflow and process requirements.

CADstandard

The single most important aspect of producing project information in any well-managed and efficient environment is a comprehensive CAD standard. If you have no current standard or have an existing standard, the-e-shop can provide the necessary independent expertise to develop any aspect of an effective CAD standard. From file management to layer naming to document and data issue protocols, the-e-shop can significantly improve your office or project processes no matter what level of standard you currently employ.

CADproject

Covering any aspect relevant to your project’s requirements, from CAD standards to data checking, the-e-shop can remove the unnecessary challenges associated with CAD data production from any project team at all stages of design, construction and beyond, ensuring smooth information exchange and maximum return on minimal investment for the complete project.

CADmodel

If your project team has acknowledged the benefits of 3d modelling, but as yet lacks the training and experience necessary to realise the full potential, the-e-shop is available to guide you through the learning process. Whether you need 3d models constructed from 2d drawings, or would rather develop the expertise internally whilst minimising the risks of this major culture change, the-e-shop can help by providing a 3d modelling bureau, on-site guidance and advice or full bespoke training.

CADcoordinate

Most delays and additional costs are incurred by co-ordination problems once construction is underway on site. The-e-shop is able to identify potential geometry and co-ordination issues through a full 3d clash detection service. If no 3d information exists on your project, we can also produce, through our CADmodel service, the necessary models directly from your existing project documents and drawings.

CADtraining

An efficient and well-structured CAD system is worthless without the properly trained staff. Our unique approach to continuing professional development in CAD training will increase your users productivity, regardless of their current level of knowledge. The-e-shop can recommend training programmes and strategies, or write and provide customised training courses tailored to your unique methods of drawing and data production.

CADdevelopment

If you require a specific function of your CAD software that it does not provide “out of the box”, the-e-shop can supply a solution. From identifying commercially available applications, through macro programming to speed up repetitive tasks, to fully integrated software solutions, we can enhance your efficiency and improve your CAD software’s performance.

CAD Products

CADissue

One of the most inefficient tasks related to CAD drawing production is revision management and issue sheet production. Can you be sure who received which version of a drawing on what date? Are you sure that the revision and title noted on the drawing match the issue sheet? CADissue can remove those questions by providing an immutable audit trail of drawing issues, linked directly to your CAD files, and automatically producing issue sheets, ensuring maximum value for minimum effort.

CADexpert

Share the expert knowledge of your experienced operators with all your staff, without lengthy delays commonly associated with external product support. CADexpert is a simple question and answer knowledge bank, with full search capabilities, that can dramatically improve your efficiency and reduce all that wasted time finding the person in your organisation who can answer your problem.

CADprojectCreator

A simple yet powerful utility to automatically create network directories and CAD configuration files for your new projects. By entering only the project name and/or job number, you can guarantee that every project is set-up in a uniform manner.

CADzip

If you are constantly issuing large amounts of CAD files in digital format, CADzip can improve the whole process, externally to your CAD software. Simply select your files, and let CADzip package them – and all their associated reference files – into a single WinZip compatible archive for distribution via email or CD.
