EDA
EDA is a personal drawing archive. EDA collects and organizes drawings. It allows user to manipulate any number of drawing archives. The archives can contain AutoCAD drawings, scanned maps, digital photos and more.
EDA lists drawings using filters from stored rules to simplify manipulation of the drawings thus helping you to find the right ones with ease. Daily management of your drawings will now be much more efficient. With help of EDA you can edit attached drawings tags, view, edit or plot your drawings.
EDA can operate with drawings of may different formats. It's embedded viewer can efficiently display both vector and raster drawings stored in the EDA archive. EDA can be integrated with RasterID.
Combined with RasterID, EDA becomes a solution for in-house copy shops and scanning bureaus. RasterID with EDA allows users to: - Scan
- Store
- Manage
- Retrieve
- View
- Print
Using EDA
It is very easy to manage drawings with EDA. Some few simple steps and you have digital documents organized in very convenient way. You will find that to use EDA as simple as '123'! All your actions with EDA can be described by the following formula. First you select or define an archive template Then you create a drawing archive using this template Now import your drawings into the archive. Job done! Everything is now organized.
Daily management of your drawings will now be much more efficient. With help of EDA you can edit attached drawings tags, view, edit or plot your drawings.
Archive templates
Normally users of archiving software would describe field by field the data structure of an archive. But EDA keeps everything simplistic - it supplies the user with predefined archive templates. A template is a prepared archive structure definition, suitable for specific application e.g. mechanical, architectural and others. Archives created with the same template have the same structure. EDA allows the user to create, use and share templates.
Drawings Import
EDA has three different methods of document import: The user can select documents and folders containing documents and make EDA import them EDA has a "Virtual Scanner". Wide format scanners output files into a predefined folder. Virtual Scanner "scans" this folder and if a new file appears, EDA imports the new file into the archive automatically To use RasterID as EDA's archive data provider. This is the most efficient way to have one solution for scanning and archiving large amount of documents
Drawings Filtering
To find a desired document efficiently is a must for each archiving solution. EDA supplies a simple and powerful drawings query mechanism. User query forms a filter which selects one drawing or a set of drawings matching the search criteria. Filter settings are storable and can be reused later.
View
The embedded viewer can display files in many drawing formats. The viewer lists thumbnails and the selected drawing is offered in a large preview pane. Users can use different zooms and pan on raster, vector or hybrid - a combination of raster and vector drawings. Supported raster single and/or multi-page formats are: TIFF, CALS, RLC, JPG, BMP, PCX, C4, TG4, CIT, MrSID and PDF. Vector formats are: CWS, VCx (both are Consistent Software's proprietary formats), DWG, DXF, EMF, WMF, HPGL and PLT.
Plot
It takes time to fine tune plot output from an archive when it contains files of many different raster and vector formats. EDA utilizes Plot Templates to ease this task. Plot Template can be defined once and reused as often as the user needs. All individual plot parameter definitions can be stored and reused at will. Just select the drawings from the archive and apply a Plot Template. A subset of your archive can be plotted with one click!
