Over recent years there has been an ever-increasing offering in EDMS products that will manage the myriad of documents we generate within our engineering lifecycle with varying degrees of efficiency; however, none have yet managed to also address our longest and possiblymost difficult of problems – the unique reference file requirements and behaviors of engineering drawings. ProjectWise V8 XM Edition now brings this functionality directly into our daily business.
Through lateral thinking by our engineering personnel and a strong cooperative relationship with the Bentley product development team, Hatch has been able to develop a seamless connection between these two environments to ensure interruption-free processing of drawings throughout the design process, finally resulting in the issue and distribution of the drawing deliverables to the vast array of consumers – the fabricators, the constructor, the owners and the operators.
