The drawings can be processed on the M-Files server without the need to have AutoCAD installed either on client workstations or the M-Files server. The application allows users to automatically or manually perform the following operations from an M-Files client.
Automate the processing of DWG files as part of a workflow
Synchronise M-Files properties to AutoCAD Attributes to edit title blocks using Get and Set functions
Bind External References (Xrefs) to create a self-contained drawing for distribution
Generate PDF renditions of drawings directly from the server
As these operations are all carried out on the M-Files server, automated usage is fully compatible with the M-Files Desktop, Web and Mobile client applications.

Use the tool to:

•  import DWG’s from other systems
• convert DWGs to PDF
• modify DWGs via a workflow e.g. change the title block
