Adapx Offers Capturx for Autodesk Design Review
 SEATTLE,
WA, May 13, 2008 - Adapx, the company that is changing the way that teams
collaborate and collect data in the field, today announced the availability
of Capturx for Autodesk Design Review. Capturx is the only solution that
enables building design teams to print designs on ordinary paper, which can
be marked up with a digital pen that digitizes notes and sketches and
integrates them directly into Autodesk Design Review files. With Capturx,
architects, contractors and engineers can quickly get accurate data from the
field, collaborate better, and make faster, more well-informed design
decisions.
 HOK, a global architectural firm with 26 regional offices on 4
continents, has been evaluating Capturx for Autodesk Design Review to mark
up digital paper drawings for quality control and for commenting on digital
paper shop drawings. "Adapx is changing the architectural design space with
their new digital pen and paper solution and we’re very impressed with their
ground-breaking solution," Said Patrick MacLeamy, HOK CEO,
With Capturx for Autodesk Design Review, design teams can easily mark up
and collaborate with designs from AutoCAD and Revit-based products using
Autodesk’s DWF technology. Teams can download DWF–based designs from an
Autodesk Buzzsaw Standard or Professional application site, for example, and
then print them on normal paper in large sizes. Field teams can then mark
up, annotate, or redline the printed drawings with a digital pen, which
records pen strokes and stores the markups. When the pen is docked to their
PC with a USB connection, the handwritten markups are automatically
integrated directly into the original designs, available for immediate
sharing, updating or review in ADR, AutoCAD, Revit and other Autodesk
applications.
"Working with Adapx, we're helping Autodesk Design Review customers keep
it digital even with pen-and-paper based markups," said Jennifer Toton,
senior product marketing manager, Platform and AutoCAD Solutions, Autodesk.
“Capturx extends the benefits of DWF technology to pen and paper, making
it possible for engineers and designers to get the right information from
the field and share it with the right people at the right time to avoid
costly project delays due to lack of clarity or insight,”
Instantly Digitize Your Mark Ups, Annotations, and Redlines Capturx
matches the way that teams review designs today in the field. Designs are printed, often in large formats, marked up with pens, and
then sent to multiple stakeholders for review. Capturx enables teams to
continue using the natural pen-and-paper markup process while still keeping
all the data digital. With Capturx, markups no longer have to languish in
the field, wait to be scanned and faxed, or remain stacked on desks before
the master designs are updated.
Patented software from Adapx turns pen and paper into extensions of your
design desktop. By simply “checking” an icon on a printed legend called an
“action palette,” for example, ink strokes on printed designs turn into
formatted call outs or any of the predefined markup stamps available in
Autodesk Design Review. Capturx can also integrate freehand sketches and
handwriting into DWF files, with the option to convert handwriting into text
for editing and use in other Autodesk applications. Team members can
color-code their markups, enabling reviewers to clearly see different sets
of markups all in the same file. Since Capturx works with native DWF
technology, markups can be accepted, deleted, modified, or overlaid upon on
the original DWG files.
“We are thrilled with the real-world results that we are seeing from our
customers,” said Ken Schneider, President and CEO of Adapx. “Capturx for
Autodesk Design Review gives project teams a number of key advantages that
lead to an immediate return on investment -- namely cost savings in relation
to other field computing equipment, easy no-training deployment, enhanced
collaboration capabilities, quick information-sharing abilities, and reduced
time and errors associated with data entry.”
