  • 1.  CAFM System

    Posted 08-25-2015 11:29 AM

    Hello,
    I am new to my position here at Tufts University.  Currently, they are using Drawbase as a CAFM system but we're not sure that we are going to continue down that path.  Does anyone else out there use Drawbase or have any recommendations on a low-cost CAFM system to use with AutoCAD?  Also, we keep our drawings in both Revit and CAD.  I have CAD experience but I've always used it with the CAFM system, Tririga.  Is there a way to pull data directly from AutoCAD without using a CAFM system?  I didn't think that there was but I could be wrong.

    Thanks for your help.

    Melissa,
    Would be more than happy to assist! We work with different CAFM systems in Higher Education. I can share similar experience and any trends we are seeing.
    Don't hesitate to reach out! (I believe this site will reveal my contact information)
