How does the UDS mesh with computer software, e.g., AutoCAD?
Two of the first three modules are provided on CAD platforms, AutoCAD, MicroStation and Generic CAD on a CD ROM. Other modules are being considered with links to these CAD platforms as third party software. Representatives from AutoCAD and MicroStation have assisted the modules development with the Task Team. The Symbols Module has a searchable key word index for the user to call up the relative symbol and create it on the drawing. The Terms and Abbreviations Module does the same, assisting the intern, architect, builder and product representative in creating, understanding and fulfilling the drawings intent.
