2 20-20 CAP STUDIO Bringing value to your business. The largest dealers and design firms in the country depend on CAP Studio. Why? Because it s a sound technology investment, decreasing operating costs, errors, and design time while increasing productivity and profits. Sound Technology CAP Studio has been the industry-standard for CADbased space planning for over 20 years. Building on that legacy, CAP Studio continues to develop revolutionary tools on this established platform. Decreased Operating Costs, and Errors CAP Studio s time-saving Design Automation tools and wizards reduce both design time and costly errors. And s professional Customer Solutions team helps reduce downtime with expert support and training CAP Studio is an integrated package of applications that automate the design and specification process. It contains two base applications, CAP Designer and CAP Worksheet. CAP Designer is a CAD-based design tool operated within AutoCAD. CAP Worksheet is a power specification tool used for product pricing, specification and estimating. Where CAP Studio Adds Value THE SALES PROCESS THE DESIGN PROCESS CAP Designer Manufacturer Data Manufacturer Catalog & Graphic Data Data Development Take-Off from CAP Designer CAP Custom Catalogs Manufacturer Data CAP Worksheet Speed quoting by quickly navigating manufacturer catalogs within CAP Worksheet to select, price and quote products and projects. Ease the hand-off process by enabling sales to electronically transfer all project information contained in CAP Studio, GIZA, and Office Sales to design using Project Exchange. Space plan directly inside AutoCAD combining the strength of AutoCAD with CAP Designer to handle large-scale projects with ease. Communicate files with A&D firms in the standard DWG format. Automate redundant error-prone tasks with Design Automation tools. Integrated Project Data Project Exchange, part of s new Integrated Dealer Solution, connects the sales and design roles within your business. Information built in GIZA or Office Sales during the sales process can be electronically passed to the design team using CAP Studio and vice versa. The bottom line: your efficiency and communication increase while your sales cycle shortens. FACILITIES MANAGEMENT INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY Import complete large-scale space plans and layouts into CAP Worksheet for full specification, discounting and order entry. Accelerate the specification process while accurately handling large-scale projects. Create an open link of communication between you, you re A&D firm, contractors and your furniture dealer using a common AutoCAD environment. Manage in-use and offsite inventory using CAP Compare for move management and reconfigurations. Depend on on-time, accurate data updates every month and clean, efficient installations.

3 20-20 CAP DESIGNER CAP Architectural Easily create building shells and place walls, doors and windows. Easy menu-driven visuals save time. CAP Standards Save time, reduce errors and eliminate repetitive tasks by setting up standards, quickly and easily. Panel Builder Assemble components and control properties of stackable panels by saving them in a single Custom Catalog; then drag-and-drop them into your drawing. Custom Catalogs Eliminate duplicate work and reduce errors by pulling standards from userdefined Custom Catalogs. CAP AutoConnectors Save time and reduce errors by automatically placing panel connectors and end trim. Automates rules-based placement and tracking of panel connectors, covers and caps for many furniture lines. CAPAutoBracketry Automatically analyzes designs and inserts all required mounting bracketry and leg columns into a drawing. CAP Frame Validation Tool Identifies common problems with panels or frames and their connectors, e.g., mirrored, duplicated or overlaid frames. Options in the Drawing Specify individual CAP parts within a drawing when it saves time or when needed. Capture critical options in the drawing like panel tiles, schemes and finishes. Block Preview Window Preview a plan-view or 3D symbol of your selected item before it goes into your drawing. Multiple Graphics Support When a single part number may be represented by many different possible graphics, CAP Studio automatically determines the best graphic to use in the drawing. Metric Functionality Recognizes drawings and symbols constructed in metric measurements and correctly calculates the scale. Design & Specification Wizards Use CAP Studio s wizards to assist and guide you throughout the design and specification process. Block Replace When changes must be made, swap selected areas or replace a block throughout an entire drawing to save time and reduce costs. CAPTile Tag frames with a Tile Configuration name, insert graphic blocks of the front and back elevations, and update elevations. Output CAPTile configurations to print and provide to installers on-site.

4 20-20 CAP WORKSHEET Import/Export Export CAP Worksheet data as CAP SIF, SIF for order entry, CSV (EXCEL) or new OFDA XML. Discount Schedules Create discounts by criteria, then save and apply discount schedules as negotiated. CAP Compare Compare existing inventory against new configurations to determine reusable and excess product, and new requirements. Printing Print all worksheet levels outlines and standards in a single step. Customize cover pages, headers and footers. CAP Search Perform powerful searches by part number or description across manufacturer catalogs, custom catalogs or CAP Worksheet files. This shared tool works in both CAP Designer and CAP Worksheet. Subtotals You can subtotal at any place in the worksheet, subtotal by a selection set, or have Worksheet insert your subtotals for you as your items are sorted. Product Categorization Sort products by type of product such as seating, panels or filing to speed the optioning process and better track costs attached to these individual project elements. Worksheet Templates Standardize worksheet formats in your organizations and quickly organize columns and other worksheet data for various user needs. Task Pane New to CAP Studio, this new feature of the UI is a new kind of tool bar, where functionality is grouped into pages in a taskoriented nature.
