How It Works

  1. 1AutoCAD drawings publish via the Autodesk Forge / APS APIs or scheduled file export.
  2. 2Ignite Lean embeds them in work instructions on the kiosk.
  3. 3As-built links sync back as Vault or file references.

Recommended Workflows

How AutoCAD works best with Ignite Lean. These are recommended patterns: Ignite Lean fires the trigger, and how AutoCAD routes it (which work group, which device, which rule) is configured to your IT setup.

No printed drawings, no stale rev confusion.
