Customer Feedback:

“We've started using AutoLib to catalog our detail library. AutoLib made short work of pouring through four thousand detail files in literally minutes. Since VoloView is built into the program, our construction administration people can review each detail without using AutoCAD. Creating standard network and custom project libraries is a breeze. Aside from the fact we don't have to create time intensive slide libraries, one of AutoLib’s best features is the ability to utilize the drawing property data within the detail file, allowing for search queries and automatic scale insertions. It really is a powerful utility!”

Jim Grady, Cad Manager - WATG Architects

 

"We have been using AutoLib for several months now, and are able to better manage and organize our library of typical CAD details and drafting symbols.  ArchMedia's customer service is excellent.  They have really worked hard to resolve issues about our specific setup and use of AutoLib."

Don Yanos, CAD Administrator - SSFM International Inc.

 

It took us 5 years to build up a collection of standard details and 5 minutes to build up a Detail Library that everyone can use with AutoLib."

Victor Donoso, Cad Manager - Carter & Burgess, Inc.
