Even the most capable design teams can lose efficiency over time—standards loosen, data becomes harder to manage, and daily tasks start taking longer than they should. A CAD software health check acts like preventive maintenance for your design systems, helping uncover hidden issues before they turn into productivity losses.
According to a recent industry report, engineers waste up to 25% of their work week on low-level troubleshooting and administrative tasks, costing companies significant time and resources. For CAD users, these inefficiencies often stem from outdated templates, manual data management, or disorganized file structures—issues a health check is specifically designed to address.
Inconsistent drawing standards across projects: Title blocks, annotations, or layers vary by user or department.
Manual, repetitive tasks consuming significant time: Engineers manually enforce standards or recreate data that could be automated.
Frequent rework due to design errors: Mistakes slip through because processes aren’t fully standardized.
Underutilization of CAD features: Built-in tools, automations, or add-ons go unused.
Lack of documented workflows: Key steps depend on tribal knowledge instead of clear guidelines.
Performance issues with large assemblies: Slow load times or frequent crashes reduce efficiency.
Integration challenges: CAD data doesn’t flow cleanly into PLM, ERP, or other systems.
Slow adoption of new versions or features: Teams hesitate to upgrade or use new functionality.
If several of these sound familiar, it might be time for a system checkup. A CAD Software Health Check from Hagerman & Company helps teams identify performance gaps, streamline workflows, and regain time that’s lost to manual work—keeping your engineers focused on innovation instead of troubleshooting.
