Trusted by the World's Best Companies:
One Engineering Document Control System—One Source of Truth
Adept provides a flexible and scalable engineering document control system that connects distributed teams with real-time access to files, metadata, and business processes. Whether you're a small team or a global enterprise, Adept adapts to your needs. Choose from on-premise, cloud, or hybrid deployments.
Engineering Document Control Best Practices: Work Smarter, Not Harder
CAD professionals spend 20–30% of their time searching for files. Adept’s document control software for engineers slashes that time by providing fast, accurate access to the correct versions of your documents and drawings—helping you reclaim up to a full day each week.
- Instantly find and reuse engineering designs
- Batch copy and rename project files
- Eliminate unnecessary design recreation
Document Version Control Made Easy
Avoid costly mistakes and duplicated effort with document version control and AutoCAD version control capabilities. Ensure that the right version reaches the right person—every time.
Major/Minor versions - Design teams can increment minor versions in a design phase and major versions upon pre-defined approval processes.
References - Control if a parent file references the latest version of a child or is docked to a specific version.
Revisions - Adept can auto-increment your custom Revision number in your title block upon events in Adept, like check in/out or upon final approval.
Keep CAD relationships intact & see where-used and composed-of details
If your CAD files have references (i.e. XREFs) or if you use Inventor or SolidWorks, you understand the complexities of managing parent-child relationships. Adept ensures relationships stay intact as files are checked in or out, routed through workflows, moved, or renamed. A tree view displays where-used and composed-of information so you understand the impact of any change. You control if new versions flow automatically to parent files. Support includes AutoCAD XREFs, Microstation references, and Inventor or SolidWorks parts, assemblies, drawings, and configurations.

Leverage CAD metadata without redundant data entry.
Adept bi-directionally links with attributes and properties from AutoCAD, MicroStation, SolidWorks, Inventor, and more.
Data Extraction - Metadata is extracted from CAD title blocks or properties and is populated in Adept so it can be searched, reported on, and referenced.
From Adept to CAD - Authorized users can push data from Adept out to CAD drawings or models in batch mode, without having to open individual CAD files. Save time and eliminate errors from redundant data entry.
Access the power of Adept from within your CAD system.
Adept runs inside AutoCAD, SOLIDWORKS, and Inventor so your CAD professionals can stay in their CAD system. An expandable Task Pane delivers powerful search capabilities, design preview, check in/out, metadata view, where-used and composed-of tree view, and more.
