CAD CONNECT

Keep your CAD. Connect it to the factory.

WEFAS is designed to connect existing CAD investments rather than force a factory to replace them.

CONNECT, DON'T REPLACE

From pattern to production.

Start with structured technical data and DXF import. Progress toward grading, marker workflows, consumption and costing while preserving CAD provenance.

ROADMAP

A controlled path through the CAD boundary.

The strategic principle is simple: connect existing CAD systems first, then add WEFAS-native capabilities where they create measurable factory value.

01

Structured Tech Pack

Style measurements and technical requirements provide the foundation.

02

DXF Import

Parse real geometry and require human review before persistence.

03

Grading

Author explicit per-point grade rules using authoritative style-size sequence.

04

Assisted Marker

Human-controlled placement with geometry constraints, grainline and fabric-width rules.

05

Consumption

Capture finalized marker consumption with units and provenance.

06

Costing Integration

Pull finalized marker consumption into the existing costing snapshot.

Consumption is a fact with provenance.

When CAD-derived consumption enters costing, WEFAS snapshots the value and source at costing time. Historical costing does not silently change when a later marker changes.

One path from pattern to production.

CAD-derived facts remain versioned and traceable while the costing record remains the commercial source of truth.
