What are the benefits a CAD vendor will realize via integrating GRANITE for unified associative access to multiple authoring applications native data?

0

GRANITE files are associative and shared in their native format. Every time a change is made in a GRANITE-based authoring application downstream applications can update without the rework associated with cumbersome export processes. In the past, vendors have needed to maintain different integrations for each CAD program to allow end users to benefit from associativity. That cost dramatically added to software development expenses, because those vendors were required to keep their interfaces up-to-date with every release of each CAD application they supported. This duplication of effort forces vendors to focus on only the best-selling CAD programs, and leaves new, innovative CAD technologies at a disadvantage. Additionally, these CAD-specific integrations would require their users to purchase an additional and often redundant seat of the expensive CAD software. Since GRANITE allows for associativity at a native file level, users are not forced to pay a “CAD tax” and retain extra install
