When you need speed and overview together **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Dennis G. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 06, 2020 **What do you like best about Drawingmanager?** Easy to learn and good support from the supplier. Files are automatically placed in a database and Solid Edge properties field relate to Drawingmanager properties fields. This helps to adjust properties even if you baselined the files. Good search options like: type, material, dimension size, author, name. U can even combine the search options like name+material If you have found your file you can drag and drop directly into Solid Edge. **What do you dislike about Drawingmanager?** I use it on a daily base and I can't find anything yet. **Recommendations to others considering Drawingmanager:** The price of a licence is definitely worth trying. **What problems is Drawingmanager solving and how is that benefiting you?** Finding files like bolt materials or if I'm working on a single project I can put a filter on just those files. Saving time. ### 2. Great for Organization **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Medical Devices | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 16, 2016 **What do you like best about Drawingmanager?** It allows for even a non-engineer to access drawings needed in an organized and non-confusing manner. **What do you dislike about Drawingmanager?** Nothing really, but I only use the most basic functions of the program and do not have long term experience with it. **Recommendations to others considering Drawingmanager:** I recommend laying out how you want to organize your drawings before you implement this system. Changing of organizational styles can be daunting. **What problems is Drawingmanager solving and how is that benefiting you?** This program allows information communication between our engineers and staff alike. Drawings are used by all staff in regards to customer information, and this program allows for us to gain access without having to contact and e-mail each other constantly. ## Drawingmanager Discussions - [What is Drawingmanager used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-drawingmanager-used-for) - [View Drawingmanager pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/drawingmanager/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-15+05%3A05%3A46+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=3937ecb7-b905-4145-828d-84388baeba34&secure%5Btoken%5D=c7247c2952759f51f3c40db296db3fab95ec9b0d75a3f88f8ca5a37444330b42&format=llm_user) ## Drawingmanager Features **Metadata** - Repository - Taxonomy - Types **Data Management** - Version Control - Alignment - Workflows - Lifecycle **Generative AI** - AI Text Summarization - AI Image-to-Text ## Top Drawingmanager Alternatives - [Teamcenter](https://www.g2.com/products/teamcenter/reviews) - 4.3/5.0 (912 reviews) - [OpenBOM](https://www.g2.com/products/openbom/reviews) - 4.2/5.0 (780 reviews) - [Altium Develop](https://www.g2.com/products/altium-develop/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (974 reviews)
