Lisbon Municipal Council
“All our people who use drawings only for consultation or printing—and who are not familiar with design tools such as AutoCAD—now could fully participate in the design review cycle.”
—Henrique Saias, CAD Manager, Lisbon Municipal Council (CML)
DWF™ and Autodesk® Design Review provide historic Lisbon, Portugal, with standardized, cost-effective and easy-to-use tools to share design information and manage design review.
Project Summary
With around 10,000 employees and 2,000 contract workers, the Lisbon Municipal Council (CML) is a very large institution with responsibility for local governance and development oversight across Portugal’s capital city. As such, the CML has on staff hundreds of architects and engineers, as well as hundreds of administrative professionals who need to consult or print construction drawings in digital format. Needing an easy-to-use and cost-effective way for all these individuals to share design information, the CML has embraced the DWF technology and uses Autodesk Design Review to enable employees across the entire city to review, print, and archive planning designs digitally.
- Provide easy access to AutoCAD® drawing files without the costs or training requirements of full AutoCAD seats
- Facilitate email-based sharing of drawings and design files which previously had to be distributed on CD
- DWF provides a common reviewing format for departments or bodies using older versions of AutoCAD, or incompatible authoring software
