whitepaper SP AusNet Improves Document Collaboration With Visualization Solution2009-08-01 Oracle
  SP AusNet wanted to deploy a document viewing package that would allow internal staff and design contractors to access and view CAD and engineering drawings within the company's electronic document management system. The challenge was to provide a platform for designers and project teams to collaborate on engineering drawings. SP AusNet deployed Oracle's AutoVue 2D Professional to enable staff in the company's power transmission division to view around 350,000 CAD-based engineering drawings that illustrate site plans and layouts of terminal stations and buildings exactly as they would appear in AutoCAD.

whitepaper Reduce, or Even Eliminate, Repetitive Daily Tasks - So Your Designers Can Focus on What They Do Best2009-06-12 Microsoft
  SolidWorks users spend a considerable amount of time performing daily routines. It can be frustrating and time-consuming for designers, whose primary objective is to spontaneously create ideas, to repeat these tasks over and over again. CustomTools 2009 can reduce, and even eliminate, the most complex and time-consuming of tasks for designers. Its batch printing and conversion tool, CustomTools, automates the entire printing and conversion process - saving SolidWorks users both time and effort. Users can import data, from corporate ERP and MRP systems to Solidworks, and export assembly structures. Custom properties are stored and managed as profiles through the Administration tool. CustomTools also automates file naming and storing, based on own rules, to eliminate naming or location errors.

whitepaper 2D CAD Data Mining Based on Spatial Relation2009-05-30 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
  This paper proposes CAD data mining technique to obtain semantic elements without prior knowledge about plans being designed. The method consists of two steps. The first step is to extract frequent spatial relations between figure elements in CAD data as clues to the semantic elements. These relations are modeled as topology graph and are analyzed by a graph mining method. In the second step, valid semantic elements are specified by eliminating geometrically unnecessary figure elements through inferring every affine transformation between sets of figure elements having the same frequent spatial structure. In the experiments, the proposed method could extract semantic elements like electrical symbols from floor plan data without prior knowledge about the symbols.

whitepaper Using Data Integration Studio as a Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE) Tool2009-02-27 SAS Institute
  With SAS DI Studio, a SAS developer can now design his/her application, fully documenting it on the front end, in a structured manner; then migrate that design to the application with minimal effort. DI Studio can, if used correctly, create a structured environment in a painless manner. This paper will discuss the fundamentals of structured analysis and design, show how data flow diagrams and data dictionaries can be created with DI Studio, and show how easy it is to migrate that design to the application.

whitepaper Fast, Affordable, Next-Generation Product Development for Small and Medium-Sized Manufacturers2009-02-03 Dassault Systèmes
  Good product design isn't about speed, it's about quality. With SolidWorks solutions and an Intel-based Dell Precision Workstation, small and medium-sized companies can now have both. That means knowledge workers can imagine quickly and transform ideas into high-quality products with exceptional speed. It also means that small and medium-sized businesses can be even more effective partners to their large, multinational manufacturing customers, who are increasingly looking to their partners to bolster their product development supply chain.

whitepaper Research Report: Are 3D Mice a Smart Buy?2008-11-26 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  This paper purported to evaluate the anecdotal claims that 3D mice can significantly improve CAD design engineer productivity. Based on a survey of 190 3D mice users, substantial gains of more than 20% are being experienced by CAD design engineers while using 3D mice with their CAD applications. Underlying user interface research supported that 6DoF navigation and simultaneous two-handedness were two key factors leading to their improvements. Finally, it was shown that an investment in 3D mice can have an unusually fast payback - less than a month - leading to the 3D mice are in fact a "Smart Buy".
