Advantage Drafting Shares Success with CAD-Plan North America
CAD-Plan North America's customer success story with Advantage Drafting, a Texas-based shop drawing service provider for the glazing industry, will be shared with attendees during GlassBuild America, from September 30 through October 1 in Dallas. CAD-Plan will host Advantage Drafting founder and CEO Nick McGowan in Booth 22009.
Advantage Drafting’s success
Since 2022, Advantage Drafting’s team of 20 drafters have relied on Athena to accelerate its turnaround time on shop drawings by automating daily routines, while helping improve accuracy and productivity. At GlassBuild, attendees can speak in-person with CAD-Plan team members and Advantage Drafting’s McGowan.
“We’re proud to use CAD-Plan’s Athena Complete AutoCAD-based technology, which ensures our drawings are as precise and adaptable as possible,” says McGowan. “Athena Complete streamlines revisions and reduces errors. We’re able to modify our drawings easily without manual edits. Athena helps us deliver exceptional results for our clients.”
“My personal favorite tool within ATHENA is the facade element tool,” says McGowan in a video blog. “Basically, you’re able to just tell it what you need and it will poof it out like a magic wand instead of you having to draw all these rectangles and snap all these dimensions in place. That saves us a ton of time.”
