Many companies have swapped over to the new Industry Collections from the old Suites that Autodesk offered. These collections give access to much more software that was previously available, however when it comes to installation each product is treated individually, almost like a stand alone product. Although Autodesk allow deployments to be created for each product in the suite, there is no combined installer for all products. These in turn then need to be installed individually onto each client PC often in the right order ... a little bit time consuming I'm sure you agree.
Personally I find that once your over 10 seats this becomes a very tedious process. Each company and department is different and I regularly find there are several challenges that we face when deploying out CAD Software:
These challenges can make what should be a simple installation, complex and time consuming.
Here at Symetri we mitigate these challenges and the limitations in the Autodesk Collections Deployment methodology by using our CQI solution.
CQI is a solution that takes care of both installation, maintenance and configuration of CAD applications, other 3rd party applications and their customisations.
Our dedicated team have spent time packaging the collections ready for installation at client sites, making the installation of these collections as quick and straight forward as possible. CQI currently has more than 3000 users many of which have had this tailored to their environment to include Corporate and Departmental cad data as well as other tools used by the design teams. It can be directly installed or triggered via SCCM allowing it to be scaled from small to larger organisations.

The latest updates to Factory Design 2026 bring powerful improvements to connector class creation, workflow efficiency, and overall performance. From a brand-new Connector Class dialogue to enhanced 4K compatibility and stability upgrades, these changes are designed to make your design process faster, smoother, and more intuitive.
Efficiency, accuracy, and innovation are crucial for staying competitive in the industrial landscape of today. Manufacturing and engineering companies face increasing challenges in managing product development, ensuring design accuracy, and optimising workflows. That’s where Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) come into play.
Implementing a Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system can be transformative for any manufacturing or engineering organization, but success doesn’t happen by chance. It takes careful planning, collaboration, and the right tools. In this article, we’ll walk you through what PLM implementation involves, why it’s critical to your organization, the benefits it delivers, and the best practices to follow. We’ll also touch on common challenges to avoid, expected timelines, and how Sovelia Core can support your implementation journey.
