SYCODE offers CAD services and consultancy through Dr. Drawing. As the name suggests, the services we offer revolve around drawings and the challenges that surround them. How often has a problem in a drawing file held your project to ransom? How often have you spent your money on expensive software to fix drawing files or modify them so that they could fit into your workflow? How often did you have to fix a problem with a drawing file and didn't know where to start? If you find yourself facing these problems, Dr. Drawing is just what you need. The services offered through Dr. Drawing aim at finding solutions to drawing related problems. The solutions can range from a simple file format conversion to a complicated customized plug-in to your existing CAD system. Given below is a brief description of the services we offer through Dr. Drawing. File Format Conversion Service The most common problem is a drawing file whose file format is not compatible with your existing CAD system. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the drawing file, except that your CAD system cannot read it. There are so many CAD systems out there and each one claims (or wants) to be the standard. Each CAD system has its own proprietary file format which it will not share with other CAD systems. This monopolistic approach results in a huge data exchange problem for the end users of the various CAD systems. Dr. Drawing's File Format Conversion Service can put an end to the "incompatible file format" error messages that disrupt your smooth workflow. Drawing Repair Service An attempt to solve the data exchange problem resulted in the concept of the neutral file format. A neutral file format is supposed to have all the properties of all the available drawing file formats to that drawings can be seamlessly converted from one file format to another without any loss of information. However, this is not the case and often information is lost or compromised. Moreover, the neutral file formats are hopelessly outdated and badly need to be revised to handle the file formats of today. This problem is further amplified by software vendors who do not adhere to the strict guidelines laid down by the authors of the neutral file formats. For example, you can find numerous "flavors" of the IGES file format written by different CAD systems, each one interpreting the IGES standard as they think fit. The result is that an IGES file exported by one CAD system may not by imported correctly by another CAD system. Dr. Drawing's Drawing Repair Service can repair such badly written drawing files or extract as much data as possible. Custom Programming Service Some drawing file issues are so complex that the human approach is not feasible. In such cases, the only way out is to write a piece of software that automatically and accurately does the job. For example, a task like converting 1,000 HPGL Plot files into AutoCAD 2000 DWG files and inserting a title block for each one of them may take a team of draftsmen months to accomplish. But a custom built AutoCAD plug-in will do the same job in an hour. Dr. Drawing's Custom Programming Service can help you cut down on your costs and keep up your schedules. Consultancy Dr. Drawing offers consultancy in areas related to drawings and CAD systems. If you are interested in streamlining your workflow with regard to how drawings are used in your organization we can help you widen the bottle necks. If you are thinking of moving to a new CAD system, we could do a study of your process and advise you which CAD system will best suit your needs. We could even develop a customized plug-in for the new CAD system to make the transition smooth and painless.
