Data Management for Product Development and Manufacturing
The tools you need to increase velocity, quality, and innovation.
Adept connects enterprise-wide design, quality, manufacturing, operations, and maintenance so you can transform new ideas into amazing products faster, manage engineering change, communicate designs efficiently, deliver higher quality products, streamline compliance, and protect your intellectual property.
“Adept is our central engineering drawing repository for equipment across all of our plants. The system allows the engineers to enter, revise, and store the most recent documentation, while also having the ability to view past revisions. At the same time, it provides view and print capabilities of the most up-to-date prints to personnel in maintenance, operations and purchasing.”

Streamline design with Adept CAD integrations.
Adept inside your favorite CAD tools.
Adept runs inside Autodesk Inventor and AutoCAD so your designers have fast access to the data management tools and best practices they need to streamline their design workflow. An expandable Adept Task Pane lets you:
- Search or browse by metadata
- Access Favorites
- Preview designs
- View metadata
- Open, insert, check in/out, replace
- View where-used and composed-of details
- Approve or reject files in a workflow
Version control built for engineering.
No more duplicates and expensive mistakes. Adept ensures everyone has access to the correct part, assembly, drawing or configuration.
Major/Minor versions - Design teams can increment minor versions in a design phase, and major versions upon pre-defined approval processes.
References - Control if a parent file references the latest version of a child, or is docked to a specific version.
Revisions - Adept can auto-increment your custom revision number in your title block upon check in/out or upon final approval.
Keep your part and assembly relationships intact.
Adept ensures relationships stay intact as files are checked in/out, and routed through workflows, moved, or renamed. This includes parts, assemblies, drawings, configurations, XREFs, and more. A tree view displays where-used and composed-of information so you understand the impact of any change.
3D - Supports parts, assemblies, drawings and configurations.
2D - Supports XREFS, references, and image file relationships.
Centralize CAD properties without redundant work.
Adept bi-directionally links with attributes and properties from Inventor, AutoCAD and MicroStation (along with Word and Excel).
Data Extraction - Metadata is extracted from CAD properties and title blocks, and is populated in Adept so it can be searched, reported on and referenced.
Adept to CAD - Authorized users can push data from Adept fields to CAD models and drawings in batch mode, without having to open individual CAD files. You save time and eliminate errors from redundant data entry.
Make design reuse easy.
Don’t waste valuable time recreating designs from scratch when you can easily find and reuse existing designs. You’ll get to market faster and save money by using all or portions of existing designs. Adept eliminates the document management chaos that keeps people from finding what they need quickly, and makes it easy to copy and rename some or all of your designs for another project.
Simplify design reviews.
Deliver centralized view and markup for models, drawings, back-office and graphics formats to everyone involved with your product or facility lifecycle. No need for an expensive CAD license, PDF conversion, or separate viewers for each file type.
- Get fast, digital feedback from the field
- Simplify design reviews
- Improve collaboration
- Streamline engineering change
- Support for Inventor, AutoCAD, MicroStation, Creo, SolidEdge, NX, CATIA, Revit, DXF, DWF, PDF, Word, Excel, JPEG, and more.
Adept is able to handle complex relationships within our engineering drawings, assemblies, sub-assemblies, and parts. You can keep those file relationships straight, and even move them around and Adept will keep track of them. We primarily use Inventor and AutoCAD, however, there are sister companies that use Solidworks.
