TESTIMONIALS

"Our organization is using CADminer for our CAFM tasks. The software provides a unique interface between our CAD database and software such as Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Access. CADminer makes it possible to quickly extract fresh data from our CAD files.

In one specific task, we use it to compile space usage data (CAFM attributes) affiliated with 5400 rooms’ ‘zones’ spanning many drawings. The report generated is then imported into our database software for additional report formatting and querying. Another function CADminer does well involves annotating CAD drawings with external information from a spreadsheet."

"Our company recently purchased CADminer, and it has delivered as promised. It has allowed us to ‘mine’ specific information from our drawings in order to create a Bill of Materials. We researched several programs, and CADminer looked to be far and above the best choice for us. From the very start, Cadinfo gave us a two month free trial and have been extremely quick to respond when we required technical support."

"Our current version of CADminer is used for keynote gathering.  As an example, in AutoCAD or ARRIS, on an agreed upon layer, keynote numbers are placed, five digits with an optional letter suffix. CADminer gathers these numbers and saves them to a text file. Using MS Access and its macros, the output text file is read, duplicate numbers are removed, and the single references are sorted in ascending order. The macro then compares the value with a number value of the table of contents - spec section titles in the database. The entire table of contents from Lynx Specifications has been imported via .TXT file into access, (Two fields - spec section number & TOC titles). The output is a text file with a single instance of each placed spec section number with the descriptive text for the referenced spec section.  This file is then inserted back into the drawing that has been gathered. Typical turnaround time with proof reading, output file and placement on drawing is about ten minutes. This simple piece of semi-automation is a great time saver."

"Thank you very much for your great support. We have found CADminer to be very helpful to our project, extracting the Text strings from our AutoCAD drawings and parsing the Text strings with MINERtools to report on more information."

"As a Facilities Project Manager at TIBCO, I am responsible for space plans, space allocations, move coordination and as-built drawings of TIBCO facilities. I am also responsible for providing headcount numbers along with monthly updates of sq. ft. numbers for charge-back to specific departments. I am responsible for all aspects of office moves incorporating, getting move list from the departments, creation of mail list for email notification, getting quotes for the move, move coordination, and spearhead move related meetings and any post move issues.

When I joined TIBCO in November of 2000, the job to provide HeadCount and Square Feet calculations to upper management was a long and tedious process. I would spend 16-18 hour days for a couple of weeks to manually complete a month-end report. Unfortunately, this process went on for approximately 2-3 months. Then, CADminer came into the picture and, as if by magic, my 80-hour work-week was non-existent. CADminer has worked wonders for me and I could not foresee ever working without it. The CADminer application together with AutoCAD 2000i, CADminer template files and excel spreadsheets have been an invaluable asset to our department. The month-end reports are now done in a matter of minutes and the accuracy in which they are done is unbeatable. The people at Cadinfo have been a valuable resource in these past four years. I truly recommend this great product; its value and ease-of-use are unmatched."
