BIDDER MUST PROVIDE SPECIFICATIONS WITH THEIR BID SHOWING THAT THEIR PRODUCT MEETS THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA:
SOFTWARE MUST PERFORM EACH OF THE FOLLOWING TASKS: Design in 2D Develop precise drawings using a comprehensive set of drafting tools to effi ciently create 2D geometry. Rapidly progress your designs from concept to completion using persistent constraints to maintain your design intent.
Maintain and Enforce Standards Ensure the proper application of organizational and project-specifi c standards. Apply templates to control geometry and data standards such as styles for dimensions, text, lines, detail symbols, and more. Once designs are complete, use automated tools to check drawings for standards compliance.
Develop Hypermodels Present documentation and related design information within the spatial context of an existing 3D model to signifi cantly improve their clarity. Embed links to related Microsoft Offi ce documents and websites. Easily navigate from content in one fi le or model to others.
Manage Design Changes Track and easily understand changes made to design fi les, even at the component level, throughout their lifecycle. View, plot, and selectively roll back any individual changes made throughout the history of a fi le.
Automate Common Tasks Speed design tasks and related workfl ows with intelligent interactive snapping. Improve productivity with AccuDraw for dynamic data entry with heads-up display. Customize and group tools and tasks and reduce keystrokes with keyboard position mapping and the ability to quickly customize cursor menus.
Control and Protect Files Ensure that only certain individuals can view and/or edit fi les within a pre-defi ned time limit. You can ensure the integrity of your documents using digital signatures and control the digital rights to view, edit, print, and copy fi le contents, including a pre-defi ned expiration date when the fi le can be accessed.
Generate Intelligent Documentation Generate consistent, high-quality paper and digital deliverables such as paper plots, reports, and 2D/3D PDFs. Automate and speed annotation, display styles, and reports by generating them directly from the embedded properties of objects. This automates and speeds annotation, display styles, and reports and gives you confi dence that they will always remain in sync with the model during work-in-progress.
Publish i-models Exchange project models and information using i-models. With i-models, you can implement unique and powerful workfl ows for information sharing, distribution, and design review. These workfl ows can be further enhanced using ProjectWise and other products and services that leverage the power of i-models.
Review Designs Collaboratively Create and exchange digital markups of designs with built-in tools. You can easily mark up models and drawings with redlines and comments and manage them through a markup dashboard.
Incorporate Referenced Design Content View and work with design information from others in real time using live referencing of 2D/3D DGN, DWG, and large image fi les, refreshed on demand. You can even natively reference PDF fi les into your designs.
Integrate Point Clouds Easily incorporate a wide range and scale of point-cloud data into the design environment. You can visualize, and measure point-cloud data to improve your understanding of existing conditions, and speed dimensioning and modeling.
Integrate Raster Imagery Easily incorporate raster imagery of all types, including aerial and satellite imagery and scanned documents. Choose from dozens of supported fi le formats including Google Earth KML, CALS, BMP, TIF, GeoTIFF, JPG, and many more.
Integrate Reality Meshes Incorporate realistic, photo-textured 3D models or reality meshes into your designs. These highly realistic models can be used directly in the design environment as the basis for your design and construction modeling for faster and better quality models.
Geospatially Locate Projects Transform and integrate geospatial information from hundreds of supported coordinate systems into your designs. Access data from OGC Web Map Servers, use real-time GPS data, and create and reference geospatial PDFs.
Incorporate Common Design Formats Easily share and consume precise data in key industry formats such as Autodesk®, RealDWG™, DGN, IFC, Esri SHP, and more. Aggregate and assemble multiple fi le formats including PDF, U3D, 3DS, Rhino 3DM, IGES, Parasolid, ACIS SAT, CGM, STEP AP203/AP214, STL, OBJ, VRMLWorld, SketchUp SKP, and Collada.
