Engineers Find More Free Time with CAD CD's

By Katrina C. Arabe

When engineers can save time by not having to redraw parts, they have more free time to focus on the big picture. Thousands of professionals are turning to CD parts libraries to find predrawn components they can incorporate directly into their designs.

Productivity. It's more than a buzzword in today's business world. Maximizing productivity is a cold hard fact of life that touches every department in every successful company.

Fortunately, product designers have new tools to help them get the work done on schedule and on budget – CAD CD's from Thomas Register. These electronic resources let busy engineers download components and import them, with attached attributes, directly into their CAD drawings.

PartSpec®, from Thomas Register, provides millions of 2D renderings and 3D solid models, with attached data attributes, at the click of a mouse. All the information is manufacturer-approved, so users can access the latest, most accurate details.

Components from more than 200 suppliers are included on the PartSpec CD, with companies such as Miller Fluid Power, DeStaCo, Turck, and Colder Products leading the list.

PartSpec files are in .DWG and .DXF formats, to make the drawings available to as many designers as possible. These formats are compatible with AutoCAD® and other popular CAD software programs.

PartSpec has a powerful search function that makes locating specific types of parts drawings a breeze. It also has a bookmark capability for tagging key components. The CDs are network-ready, and offer free semiannual updates.

Thomas Register's PartSpec is now available FREE to qualified design professionals.
