In addition to the challenge of integrating multi-CAD data formats and adapting to ever-evolving CAD tools, many companies also face the daunting challenge of migrating legacy data, in the form of 2D manual drawings, into 3D models. For companies to be able to reduce the cost of design through fully utilizing the capabilities of modern CAD tool suites and leveraging existing legacy designs, it is imperative to translate the legacy definition into 3D models. This presentation will detail the hidden challenges that were discovered through a 20,000 hours pilot program to convert 2D manual drawings into 3D models, as well as overall performance data, lessons learned, and recommendations for best practice.
