S-MAN Advance Systems™

The Standard for AutoCAD Systems Development

S-MAN Advance is free. It is an all-inclusive standard of methodology and tools for AutoCAD systems development, implementation, and much more. 

Use of the S-MAN configuration helps to facilitate universal consensus in the development and re-use of CAD data. When AutoCAD users base their knowledge on a common set of assumptions -- such as S-MAN's integrated procedures for scaling, layout, detailing, and annotation -- then they can agree on universal industry standards for layers, colors, linetypes, lineweights, and plotstyles.

You can use an S-MAN Advance System immediately as a turnkey operating system to upgrade, document, manage, and implement consistent CAD standards.

For user's of vanilla AutoCAD, you can also implement pre-defined CAD data standards as a plugin to S-MAN Advance Systems. This means you can almost forget about upgrading your own standards for layer names, colors, linetypes, plotstyles, dimstyles, and textstyles. You can implement a turnkey industry standards package right away, and then easily make the modifications or upgrades necessary for your business application.

What S-MAN Advance Does

• Provides the standard of best practice for AutoCAD systems configuration necessary to make standardization of CAD data possible
• Helps you to learn more about how AutoCAD works
• Provides you with the framework to manage the mass of resources that make up your AutoCAD system
• Enables you to deploy a company standard system on your network for both single and multiple disciplines having the same common model for using and managing the systems
• Facilitates systems development that will not be affected by changes in technology because S-MAN standards are based on real world objects
• Enables easier conversion of drawings for re-use by jurisdictions not yet using object oriented systems
• Gives you standards and tools that reduce the costs of data exchange and help you to keep abreast with new technology

What You Get With S-MAN Advance

• Tutorials on how to develop and upgrade your AutoCAD systems
• A framework of folders for storing, developing, and managing templates, source files, customization, productivity tools, documentation
• CAD Manual templates
• More than 45 tools to implement CAD standards into your company's every day design work
• Easy access to implement useful accessories and plugin components
• A turnkey CAD management system that you can take to the next level

You can customize the S-MAN systems model to make it unique to your own business requirements and you can implement standards that are universal, industry wide.
