Introduction

NetSPEX is a CAD standards management software product that works with AutoCAD and MicroStation, developed by ProSoft. It provides a database-driven, web-enabled design environment for CAD standards enforcement and project collaboration among local, remote, and external design teams. NetSPEX makes it possible to develop, manage, document, and deploy multiple CAD standards from a single database, including parent and dependent standards.

NetSPEX includes the complete A/E/C CADD Standard, developed by the U.S. Army Corps CADD/GIS Technology Center, as well as the ability to create and customize unlimited additional standards. NetSPEX includes standards compliance checking features and a unique ability to deliver XML-based CAD standards for MicroStation and AutoCAD to sub-consultants and remote project participants. NetSPEX will allow you to:

• Select and draw with CAD standard-compliant drawing components
• Manage CAD standards with a uniform interface in AutoCAD and MicroStation
• Use a standards interface that changes automatically based on drawing file
• Deploy CAD standards across multiple offices from one central database
• Create dynamic hardcopy and HTML CAD standards documentation
• Check drawings and components for CAD standards compliance
• Begin using the A/E/C CADD Standard immediately

Using NetSPEX can improve drawing production, quality, and control, while reducing the demands on CAD administration and support.

Standards Enforcement

NetSPEX is designed to make standards compliance a transparent and simple process. It allows experienced users to draw quickly and efficiently using corporate standards while giving new users the tools they need to begin producing quality work right away in accordance with established procedures. NetSPEX also provides enough built-in flexibility for power users to customize as needed.
