The optional CAD Integration module enables AMS to take component information from a CAD drawing and automatically create a bill of materials. Typically, an engineer will create a drawing and identify the components, dimensions and placement of materials on the image. Someone else interprets the information and enters data into the system. Not only is that time consuming, it introduces the potential for error. The CAD Integration module eliminates this error prone, time consuming process by establishing the drawing as the source of BOM and route information.
