Presenter -Raunak Randhawa
Join PROLIM and Teamcenter Application Engineer Raunak Randhawa for a deep dive into how Teamcenter Integration for AutoCAD (TCAA) streamlines engineering workflows, enhances collaboration, and strengthens design data management.
This session explores how TCAA enables engineers to manage and synchronize AutoCAD design data directly within Teamcenter—eliminating silos, reducing errors, and ensuring complete version control.
Whether you’re working in automotive, aerospace, construction, or industrial design, mastering TCAA will help your team increase productivity, data consistency, and design quality.
Topics To Be Covered
Understand how TCAA embeds Teamcenter directly into AutoCAD, allowing engineers to store, retrieve, and manage drawings without leaving the CAD environment.
Key Takeaway: Seamless integration means centralized design data, improved collaboration, and full traceability.
Explore how integration bridges the gap between design creation and product lifecycle management (PLM).
Key Takeaway: Centralized data storage ensures everyone works from the latest revision, improving accuracy and reducing rework.
Learn how TCAA enhances efficiency by automating tasks such as saving, version control, and approvals—all within AutoCAD.
Key Takeaway: Designers spend less time on administration and more time innovating.
Discover how TCAA’s server-side integration connects to Teamcenter’s data model, while the lightweight client layer embeds into AutoCAD’s UI.
Key Takeaway: The dual-layer setup ensures secure, fast, and reliable access to enterprise design data.
See how items, item revisions, and datasets work together to represent every drawing uniquely, ensuring controlled revisions and accurate file management.
Key Takeaway: Structured data management improves visibility and auditability across the organization.
Experience Teamcenter’s embedded Active Workspace Client within AutoCAD—where you can search, retrieve, open, and manage drawings in a single interface.
Key Takeaway: No switching between apps—everything is accessible directly from AutoCAD.
Learn how TCAA automatically creates and stores PDFs, DXFs, and DWFs whenever you save drawings to Teamcenter.
Key Takeaway: Automated file translation simplifies documentation and reduces manual steps.
Understand how external references (Xrefs) are linked and managed in Teamcenter, providing a full assembly structure view and revision traceability.
Key Takeaway: Linked drawings stay consistent and traceable across projects.
