CAD2CD Version 5
Archive
& Distribute Your AutoCAD Drawings on Recordable CDs
CAD2CD is an AutoCAD
module sold as an add-on to Alchemy Gold/Pro, the award
winning CD-R data storage management software. With the
CAD2CD module added, Alchemy indexes DWG and DXF files,
attributes, text and related project data, copies the
files to CD-R, and completely manages file retrieval,
viewing and printing. The CDs can also be viewed by
anyone else with a Windows PC CD-ROM drive. CAD2CD is
made by IMR, the leader in CD-R data storage and
distribution software with the 2CD family of solutions.
- Replace other
expensive, unreliable or inefficient storage and
distribution methods: paper, floppies, file
cabinets, tapes, etc. CDs can store 650 MB of
data or 15,000 scanned pages or 450 floppies.
- Mail your AutoCAD
project files on CD to fellow workers or clients.
They won’t need any other software to
search, view, copy, print or plot files. Just a
CD-ROM drive.
- Go into the field
with complete project data on CD, using a
notebook PC with CD-ROM.
- Find drawings in
seconds, compared to the slow way you’ve
been retrieving files.
- Find data that’s
buried in drawings without running AutoCAD or
WorkCenter.
- Give everyone on your
LAN access to all the archived project data.
- Manage huge numbers
of drawings efficiently and easily with CAD2CD,
instead of using expensive client/server
software.
-
New in CAD2CD Version 5
- Portable viewer for
DWG and DXF files. Works with AutoCAD R14 and
earlier.
- Indexes text in
nested blocks.
- Automatically indexes
the data in a drawing: attributes, tags, values,
text, and blocks.
- Works with IMR’s
Alchemy, an integrated document archival system
for CD-R that also manages other PC file formats
and data.
- Attach related
project data to a drawing.
- Viewers and a Windows
retrieval program can also be copied to CD, so
others can retrieve and view the drawings.
- Search for data
contained in drawings; the data is marked in the
viewer for fast and easy location.
- Supports 3D drawings
and Xrefs.
- Completely integrated
CD Recording works with most CD writers.
- CDs can be read from
any CD-ROM drive on a Windows PC, or accessed
from a Netware or NT file server.
- Drag and drop AutoCAD
DWG or DXF files from Windows Explorer or File
Manager into the Alchemy CD contents window.
Supports drawings made in AutoCAD R14 and
earlier.
- Create your own
customized Profile Cards to store project-related
data that is not contained within the drawing.
Profile cards can store data from other sources,
file information and any combination of custom
data fields you wish to add.
- If you have any other
document files, such as Word, Excel, images etc.,
you would like to store with a drawing, simply
drag and drop them onto the drawing filename to
create a compound document. When you search for
one of those files, you will also find the
others.
- Click on the Gold CD
in Alchemy, and the drawings and profile cards
are automatically indexed, then written to a
recordable CD. There is no need to use a separate
"premastering" software program.
- You can repeat steps
1 through 4 as often as you need. Alchemy manages
the CD-R drive, writing many times to one CD and
even spanning data across to a new CD. You will
never run out of disc space.
- There is an option to
write the Alchemy Search program and the CAD2CD
Viewer to the CD. The CD can then be read in
another CD-ROM drive installed on a Windows PC.
- With an Alchemy Gold
or Pro license, the Alchemy Search program can be
installed on any Windows client attached to a
CD-ROM server. Users can then browse, search,
view, copy and print drawings from the CD.
- When you search for
data embedded in a drawing, the location of that
data is marked in the viewer. It is very easy to
quickly locate the data, even in a very complex
drawing with many layers.
