Compare Lunr with the systems asset owners already run.

Where the drawing record lives is a decision an asset owner keeps for the life of the asset, long after any one project closes. Most of the systems below were built for a project team, a design office, or the wider organisation, and each does that job well. These comparisons set out, tool by tool, where each one fits and where a record built for engineering drawings does something different.

fig. 02 · the field

Twelve systems, and where each one fits.

Start with the system you run today. Each comparison is written the same way: what the tool is good at, the specific points where a drawing set needs more, and how the two sit side by side.

  1. Document library · Microsoft 36501

    SharePoint

    Strong on Office documents and intranets. Read where a drawing set needs revision control a document library was never built to give.

  2. Project CDE · Oracle02

    Aconex

    A project-delivery collaboration platform. Read where the record has to outlast the project and stay with the owner.

  3. Design collaboration · Bentley03

    ProjectWise

    A design-team work-sharing environment. Read where the owner needs an operating record rather than a project workspace.

  4. Construction cloud · Autodesk04

    Autodesk Docs

    The common data environment inside Autodesk Construction Cloud. Read where the record has to hold every format, not one toolset's.

  8. Project collaboration · InEight Document08

    TeamBinder

    TeamBinder, now sold as InEight Document, runs delivery-side document control across the project team. Read where the owner needs a register that outlives the project archive.

  9. AEC data management · 12d Solutions09

    12d Synergy

    Worksharing and managed datasets for civil design offices. Read where an owner wants the finished set in a browser rather than a Windows client and a SQL Server.

    Read the comparison
  10. CAD data management · Autodesk10

    Autodesk Vault

    Check-in, check-out, and dependency tracking at the design desk. Read where the record has to reach operations staff who only need to open a sheet.

    Read the comparison
  11. Metadata-driven DMS · M-Files11

    M-Files

    One governed document platform for the whole business, organised by metadata. Read where drawing numbers, revisions, and scanned sheets need first-class handling.
