My company is trying to find ways to improve estimating while the design is in process.
In AutoCAD Refnotes and Plant Schedule, it’s possible to add a cost for each material. It would be a waste of time to input these prices for each plant in each design. (It would be easier to just do it in Aspire once the design is complete.) However, if I could somehow link the Aspire item/kit catalog to AutoCAD, the designers could have access to updated prices as they build the Refnotes/Plant Schedule.
Does anyone know if this is possible? I know that Aspire can talk to other softwares, but I don’t know whether AutoCAD is on that list.
