What is Caddex Detail Library and how does it work?
Caddex Detail Library is a CAD detail management system designed specifically for AutoCAD teams. It provides comprehensive version control, allowing you to track changes, collaborate with team members, and maintain a centralized library of your CAD details. The system uses a local-first architecture for fast access while syncing to the cloud for team collaboration.
Which versions of AutoCAD are supported?
Caddex Detail Library supports AutoCAD 2020-2026. We update our plugin as soon as possible to ensure compatibility with the latest AutoCAD releases.
Can I use Caddex Detail Library offline?
Yes! Caddex Detail Library is built with a local-first architecture, meaning all your details are stored locally on your machine for instant access. You can work completely offline, and any changes will sync to the cloud when you reconnect to the internet.
How does version control work for CAD files?
Caddex Detail Library automatically tracks changes to your CAD details, creating snapshots of each version. You can view the history of modifications, compare different versions and see who made specific changes. The system is specifically optimized for CAD workflows.
What are the drawing approval workflows?
The software establishes the framework for the team to define and execute its own custom approval workflows directly within AutoCAD, ensuring seamless integration with no external tools or systems required. By designating specific reviewers and routing stages, the team maintains total quality control while the system automates the transition from pending to approved status. This workflow ensures that no manual moving, copying, or editing of files is ever necessary to progress a detail through the review process and back into production.
How is my data secured?
All data is encrypted both in transit (using TLS) and at rest. You maintain complete control over your CAD details, and designs are never accessed without explicit permission. Cloud sync utilizes high-level encryption to ensure secure data transfer and storage, ensuring that your information remains protected and private at all times.
How does licensing work?
Caddex Detail Library utilizes hardware-based activation tied to individual workstations, with licenses that can be easily transferred between machines as your hardware needs change. It features flexible seat management to help teams coordinate access efficiently. For those getting started, a perpetual version is available for a single workstation, allowing for the management of up to 10 detail records without cloud or team integration features. Enterprise customers can contact us for custom volume licensing arrangements.
Do you offer training and onboarding?
Yes! We provide extensive video tutorials and documentation for all users. For teams and organizations, we offer personalized onboarding sessions to help your team get up to speed quickly. Our support team is also available to answer questions and help with any challenges you encounter.
