April 24, 2006—The latest version of ARCHIBUS/FM, the leading Total Infrastructure and Facilities Management (TFIM) solution in the world, offers continued support for the Autodesk DWF software development platform, says the company.
Autodesk DWF technology gives project teams a secure and easy way to share crucial design data while minimizing errors, costs, and preserving accurate, data-rich design information throughout the entire project.
ARCHIBUS/FM uses Autodesk DWF software technology to aid in managing the entire lifecycle of buildings, using DWF documents in such diverse applications as detailing capital planning proposals and documenting project management change orders.
According to ARCHIBUS, the DWF format ties together enterprise staff members that are using AutoCAD for legacy information, and Architectural Desktop or Revit for new projects. With DWF, ARCHIBUS/FM can then drive that “rich design information directly to other departments, where non-drafting staff can use it to optimize space planning increase cost-accounting accuracy, speed maintenance on equipment and telecom and mechanical infrastructure, and reduce friction in a host of other essential business processes.”
DWF is the foundation for digital design workflows, enabling designers to share accurate, data-rich design information with project teams at any point in the project lifecycle—at a fraction of the original size.
