Notes on CAD intake, estimating and customer portals, for the people who run them.
An emailed DXF is a file, not a complete fabrication enquiry. Friction appears when material, thickness, quantity, revision and the next decision have to be reconstructed across separate messages.
An RFQ form collects an enquiry; a customer portal can preserve the project, files and decisions that follow it. Choose between them by examining what customers and estimators need to do after the first submission.
Explore customer workspaces, CAD intake and fabrication decisions in a managed portal.
