About this Provider Adapter

Autodesk AutoCAD is a CAD Application used to produce 3-D Graphical Models. Although AutoCAD provides tools to associate tag information to graphical elements, its primary purpose is to produce a graphical representation.

This AutoCAD Provider Adapter reads AutoCAD DWG files and provides Graphical Asset Information.

Limitations

V-Suite CORE CAD Source Synchronization from AutoCAD DWG may not always be able to incrementally update the Asset Database because the AutoCAD Provider Adapter does not provide sufficient Asset Information.
