Let’s be honest, AutoCAD is a complicated program to use. A lot of facilities management systems were designed as "visual databases," meaning they require the user to interact in the CAD system for nearly everything they need to update with regards to space. This is what we call the AutoCAD trap. We believe this is a mistake since the average person is used to inputting data in spreadsheet format (Access or Excel) or form format (i.e. Amazon.com). Top-notch Facilities Management software solutions present the user with familiar looking queues and forms to update information and store only polygons representing space within AutoCAD. To borrow a line from that famous office supply store, “Now that was easy!”
