<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe Right Tool for the Task<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The company used MountainTop\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a02D design software until it experienced both hardware and software failure. When Young Industries decided to look for an alternative 2D design solution, they evaluated the available 2D design packages.\u00a0DraftSight\u00ae<\/sup><\/a>Enterprise from Dassault Syst\u00e8mes was chosen because the software is easy to maintain and support, and it included the needed features at a better price. Plus, DraftSight directly integrates with\u00a0SOLIDWORKS PDM<\/a>, which the company also deploys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Eliminating the translation from 2D to 3D saves engineers time and effort. For example, a customer\u2019s DWG\/DXF file is much easier to manipulate in DraftSight Enterprise. Minor modifications can take about 15 minutes in DraftSight versus days of work remodeling an old 2D drawing in SOLIDWORKS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Managing Legacy Data<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n DraftSight also enables Young Industries to manage its collection of 2D legacy data and library of 2D drawings more effectively. This accessibility helps accelerate proposal development, which saves both time and money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The move to DraftSight Enterprise has also improved the company\u2019s drawing management function because DraftSight is fully compatible with SOLIDWORKS PDM. And, because DraftSight is so intuitive and similar to AutoCAD, engineers can learn it in a day or two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDraftSight is an indispensable tool in our tool belt, says J. Tyler Thompson, VP of Operations for Young Industries. \u201cThere are times you need a hammer and times you need a screwdriver. We can very quickly and easily translate what is possible between those two applications if we need to jump from one to another.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Young Industries maximizes design productivity by using DraftSight Enterprise software for 2D tasks, such as creating P&ID diagrams, and\u00a0SOLIDWORKS\u00a0for 3D design needs, such as large assemblies.
