The document discusses Aras's CAD integration platform and connectors. It provides an overview of Aras's approach to integrating multiple CAD systems through standardized connectors developed by partners. It then demonstrates the CAD integration workflow through a live hands-on process of a design engineer requesting a high pressure cleaner part be created in CATIA, with design reviews and a drawing exchange between engineers.
