ACAD as the Foundation of Engineering Execution

Computer-Aided Design (CAD) is where product ideas become reality. From concept modeling and detailed design to simulation and manufacturing handoff, CAD drives the speed, accuracy, and quality of product development.

But many organizations struggle with outdated tools, performance bottlenecks, file management challenges, and inconsistent workflows. Without the right strategy and governance, CAD systems can become fragmented, difficult to scale, and disconnected from enterprise initiatives like digital thread or model-based engineering.

EAC partners with manufacturers to ensure their CAD environment supports business objectives, not just design output.

Where Are You in Your CAD Journey

Every organization approaches CAD differently. Whether you’re exploring modernization, evaluating new platforms, or optimizing an existing environment, your next step depends on where you are today.

Early in the Journey

You may be experiencing slow system performance, manual workarounds, version confusion, or growing design complexity… and wondering whether your current CAD environment is still the right fit.

Educational resources can help clarify common CAD challenges and modernization opportunities.

Ready to Decide

If you’re ready to move forward, your focus shifts to execution: migration planning, training, change management, and long-term support. Successful CAD modernization requires more than software selection. It requires experience.

Common Questions About CAD

Manufacturers often ask similar questions when evaluating or managing CAD.

Below are a few of the most common:

Where can I get more information to find out which CAD platform is best for me?

Choosing the right CAD platform depends on more than features alone. Factors like your product complexity, team structure, collaboration needs, downstream integration, and long-term scalability all play a role.

The best way to determine which CAD solution fits your organization is to evaluate:

  • How your teams design and collaborate today
  • Whether you need cloud-based vs. desktop CAD
  • Integration with PLM, simulation, or manufacturing workflows
  • Licensing, performance, and support considerations

EAC works with multiple leading CAD platforms and helps organizations objectively assess which solution aligns best with their business and product development needs.

Why do businesses need the right CAD tools?

The right-sized CAD software enables your company to save time and money by:

  1. Identifying dimensional accuracy
  2. Decreasing production time
  3. Eliminating unnecessary waste and materials
  4. Quickening design time
  5. Automating bills of materials

PTC’s Creo product design apps are interoperable, integrated applications that span the entire spectrum of product development.

How do I check my Creo licenses?

To obtain the floating module licenses:

  1. Click File > Options. The Creo Parametric Options dialog box will open.
  2. Click Licensing.
  3. To get the list of available floating module licenses from the license server, click Refresh License List. A list of licenses is displayed.
  4. Select a license from the list.
  5. Click OK.

Checking licenses is just the first step. If you’re dealing with license shortages, unclear usage patterns, or planning for growth, EAC can help you understand how your Creo licenses are actually being used and how to optimize them. Reach out and we’ll help you.
