Perfect. We’re going to start then. First thing, we’re going to do a little genius solution introduction. For those of you who are used to the webinar, yes, I will introduce genius, mostly for the people that are new and doesn’t know our system. First thing we’re going to do is introduce genius solution, but then we’re going to look into what is Cat2bomb, how and why a cat integration with our ERP will be benefit. I’m going to do a demo of that, demo actually of Cat2bomb. Then we’re going to move on to how we can help with complex ETO project with Cat2bom, but also with genius and the feature that’s in genius. Then we’re going to go at the end for a question periods. Like I mentioned, if you want to ask anything into the Q&A, I might talk to you right away, but I’m probably going to wait the question time. First thing here, we’re going to look into who are we, basically. So, genius has been around for around 30 years working with manufacturers. The Our first year of Genius life was mostly consulting. With the engineering consultation, that was the main focus, but it moved on to ERPs and software.

That’s where we are now, 30 years later. We are more around 120 employees right now, and we have thousands of users. As you can see into the map, so everything in red, so every state and province that are in red, those are where we have users. We are covering a lot of Canada and United States for our user. We also have a 96% customer retention, which we are very proud of. We really try to have partnership with our customer, make sure that they’re comfortable with the software and that it actually helps them in their day-to-day life. We are welcoming feedbacks, and that’s why we have all of that customer retention. It’s very important for us. Finally, we are still growing as we go in around annual growth of 25% each year. So Here we got a little bit of a review ranking and certification. What I really want to show you here, it’s mostly where we are placed into that Gartner chart. We can see customer satisfaction and us to usability. Basically, how easy it is to use our software and how customers are satisfied with it. We are ranking pretty well, so we are proud of that also.

I just wanted to introduce that a little bit. And what makes us unique? We are really built for custom manufacturing, so engineer, configure, and make to order. Those are very much our type customer. We’re really good at that and managing that. And that’s all of our featuring to the software really build around it. And that’s an example of that is that cat2bomb feature that I’m going to talk about and that we’re going to see today. I’m not going to go more into detail here. Something else that we do have, though, we have industry leading scheduling. We have DBR tool, which we have a webinar around it. If you want to learn more about it, my colleague Frank actually did a webinar on that. We also think business intelligence is very important. We have accessible dashboard to guide you with your decision. Basically, dashboard that you can create on your own that you are able to do very easily. That’s what we call genius analytics. Once again, I think we do have a webinar on it also on genius analytics. If you’re interested to know more. Another thing here, I just wanted to mention that we do have a full functional coverage.

We manage coding to engineering, production, scheduling, purchasing to final invoicing and actual accounting suites. It’s an all-on-one ERP with all of those functional need from quote to cash project. Another thing that I wanted to mention on that slide is basically the latest release. Just so you know that we always are trying to keep up to date, trying to create new content into our software, new feature, and always updating our software. We’re not just going to let it stay the same. We are constantly evolving. Those are the delivery mode, so how you can have genius. You could buy it, rent it, or have it in a cloud. If you don’t have genius right now, you can just talk to your seller Those wrap on this to have more context. If not, you know that there’s other delivery modes that you might have. Last thing I want to talk about, a differentiator that we do have This is genius Academy. So genius Academy is a training platform that allows you to have videos, exercise, and so on. So a lot of information on how you can use genius. It’s Very interesting too, because every time there’s a new feature, every time there’s a new version of Genius, all of those videos will be updated.

You’re going to have the information and you can keep up with all of those information. It’s going to be all in Genius Academy. It’s also very used for implementation, but you can also keep it later on and when there’s a new person coming in. It’s a new role that they’re doing. They can go into the platform and actually do all of the videos for that specific role. It really helps also for new onboarding of new employee. With genius Academy, there’s also something called Canteen, which is basically ask the expert type of meeting. It’s one hour. There’s someone with you, and you can go. They’re going to have multiple person, and you can all go in and ask your question. You can learn about how the people are using the software, but also you can ask specific question for your needs. It’s three times a week, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. If you’re interested in the afternoon, that’s where you can talk to someone to help you with genius. That’s it for my introduction. We’re going to go into the actual subject of today, and we’re going to talk about CAD to BOM. First thing, what is CAD to BOM?

We’re going to refer to Cat2 Computer-assisted Design and BOM, which is Bill of Manufacturing. Now, BOM could be referring to Bill of Material sometime, but in our case, in our language, ingenious. It’s it’s going to be referring to bill of manufacturing because it’s not only going to consider material, but also routing, subcontracting, and more. So all in one. As you can see here, if it’s the first time you see InGenius, that’s how a bill of manufacturing will look like. So the recipe of how are you going to make that product. So basically, the CAD 2 BOM feature allows you to take the information from your CAD software, which need to be solidworks or Inventor. There’s a partnership with those two. So it needs to be solidworks and Inventor for the CAD 2 BOM feature to be used. But basically, we’re going to take that information of how that design is made, and we’re going to push it back, push it into genius. Not only are we going to push it into genius, but it’s also possible to bring some information back into your CAD, like let’s say, description, name, some parameters, some type We have information like that that we can bring back into the CAD to have one version.

Lastly, just wanted to tell you that CAD to BOM feature is a plugin into SolidWorks. You’re going to see it, but it’s really a plugin. You open up solidworks or Inventory, and you’re going to see a Cat2bomb that’s going to be there. It’s a partnership, so it’s not on the site integration. It’s part of the product. Good. So now why would you need, why would you want genius Cat 2. 1? First, we’re going to go into the From engineering to ERP. So from your cat to genius, why would you want to have that? First thing is mostly the one that everyone could have thought of. Basically, we wanted to stop with the double entry and data type thing. So we don’t want to… There’s no a lot of plus value of just typing that information that already exists somewhere, and we don’t want to retype that. We don’t want to take some time to have a ton of retyping and take times on your day, which doesn’t have a plus value since we can just push it into the system. If you are currently typing all of that information, we want to make it easier for you, and that’s where Cat2bomb come in.

Another thing is duplication of the same product. Let’s say you’re using an in Excel for now. Every time you need to create, you’re creating the same code number every time. If on one Excel, there’s could have different description in another Excel, another description or other parameters. Basically, the same item that you’re just retyping or redoing without the same information. We want to take that out. With genius, when we’re going to push it into genius, we’re going to be able to see that that item already exists. Don’t need to create it in double, triple, or so on. Another thing that could be interesting is into a complex ETO universe, basically, you’re probably going to have to manage multiple versions and multiple changes. Since it’s a custom product, you don’t necessarily know everything. Every time, how you’re going to make it, there might be a mistake, back and forth, and stuff like that. We’re going to want to keep track of all of those versions, push them into the system, and push them to production. All of that managing progressive release and current engineering, multiple versions, all of that can be managed. It’s easier to use get to bomb because we’re going to just push the right information from the drawing.

The last version of the drawing, we’re going to push it into the system and we can keep track of all of those version and modification and so on. I’ve just seen someone ask a good question, so what version of Inventor are supported? It depends on your version of genius. That’s a good thing to take in consideration. If you’re migrating to a new version of Genius, you need to give us some time to make sure that we are compatible with Inventor. But typically, it’s around a couple of months just to make sure, and we are keeping it up to date. It’s really depending on your version of Genius, what will be the version of Inventor or SolidWorks that could be supported. It’s mostly on a case-by-case, but you can ask for specific application sheet on our end so you know which version we are up to date at. Perfect. Then the other way around. Why wouldn’t you need genius from the ERP to engineering? The information that’s in ERP. Let’s say we don’t want to have two versions the same product, basically on mostly terminology and information like I did mention. Let’s say engineering sometime could have a different terminology than purchasing or production.

Let’s say that they’re using a certain description information that purchasing and production don’t understand. Production and purchasing will then change it. We want that feedback to come back into the CAD so that next time we’re using that product, we’re not going to do that back and forth every time. We just can correct those type of descriptions, some type of parameters, and different information that we’re going to see, what we can bring back on parameters of the linked betweenGenius and the CAD software. Sorry, I just saw a question. Yes, so if you You have a vault, so it will work. The question was, will it work with a vault? Basically, yes, we can manage it. If you don’t have one, it’s still going to work for the push. But if you have a vault, it will work also. So yes, with or without. We’re going to go and do a little demo of how we can actually use it. I’m going to go into genius here, and what you are currently seeing is genius. If it’s the first time that you’re seeing genius, we are into genius. More precisely, we are into the BOM library. The BOM library is basically where I can have the list of all of the parts that I’m going to make and how am I going to make them.

It’s a bit of a standard part list. We’re going to see later on that we have something for less standard and more custom and revision, like I I didn’t mention. But here we are into that library of everything, parts that I could… Standard parts, basically. Why am I here? I just wanted to show you that I’m going to use that item, which is the pallet cards, and that we’re going to see into solidworks in a minute. But just wanted to show you that there’s nothing underneath. For now, that part doesn’t have a bum. I don’t have routing, I don’t have material. I don’t know how am I supposed to make that pallet card. And engineering knows they designed it, there’s a drawing, and I’m going to push it into a genius so we can actually make it later on. So I’m going to use SolidWorks for today. I could have used Inventor. Just keep in mind, if you’re using Inventor, still possible. I’m just going to use SolidWorks for the demo for today. It’s going to look exactly the same for the push, if you’re using one or the other. It’s just on the setting of how you’re going to actually design it.

It’s going to be your own software. That’s my Palette Cards. That’s what I want to make, and I’m going to use and try to push it into genius. First thing I’m going to do is I’m going to do the push between the CAD to genius, and later after that, I’m going to explain to you how did that work in the the background, so the mapping and properties and everything that works in the background for it to work. I’m just going to start with how it should look like. I’m just going to open that up. That specific pages right now that I’m showing to you, that will be the same if you’re in Solvents or Inventor, like I mentioned. First thing you can see here, well, I’m going to make it smaller a little bit. First thing you can see here, that’s the representation of your drawing. We have sub-assembly, you have sub-assemblies, you have parts and material, parts and material are there. It’s really connected. You’re going to see what you’ve actually designed. That’s how it gets pulled in. The other thing here is I can define Do I want to push everything? You don’t have to push everything if your design is not completed.

Let’s say this part here is not exactly complete. I know how it’s going to be named, but I don’t really know the routing or material that’s going to be in yet, it’s not complete. I can still say, Hey, no, I don’t want to push that. And you can define what you’re going to actually push into genius and do multiple pushes as you go and as your drawing is actually completed. It’s going to take everything for now for the sake of the presentation. We have everything and you’re going to be able to see the whole push. First thing you can see what’s in the CAD and what’s in genius. And so far, right now, there is nothing in genius as we’ve seen before. Another thing here that I want to show you, just going to zoom in a little bit, is the logo here. So first thing you see, those Well, you might not see properly, but here, those little hammer. The hammer means that it’s something that you’re going to make. It could be a sub-assembly, basically, it’s something that you’re going to make internally. The little daughter sign here, that could be your a raw material or something that you’re going to purchase from a vendor.

You see there’s also plus. So everywhere you see a plus, that’s something that doesn’t exist in the system It’s not going to exist. It doesn’t exist in the system yet. So cat to bomb will not only allow me to create my bomb, so my recipe, it’s also going to create the parts if they don’t exist already into the system. If they do exist, I’m going to know right away, and I’m also going to be able to see if there’s a discrepancy between the information from my CAD and from genius. Like here, you see that little triangle with an exclamation animation point, there’s something here that’s different. And I know right away it’s the description because it’s yellow. So what I know here is that my description was Cart or Palette Cart. So Palette Cart, that’s the description that I gave into my CAD. And Cart is the description that’s actually into genius. Why do I know that? I also know because I said that by default, I want to use the CAD. I just realized right now that it’s in French, and I’m so sorry. Yeah, I’m very sorry. I just realized that that’s in French.

Can you understand it in a way? Tell me Should I switch right away? I feel really bad. I’m sorry. I just thought that this was in French. Okay. No one is telling me if… Please, wait. Yeah. Thanks. Okay. Thank you. I’m going to switch. We’re going to switch right away. I’m very sorry. It was in this one. It’s in English, right? I’m not thinking. Yeah, that’s in English. We’re good. We’re going to Oh, okay. Yes, I’m switching. Very sorry. Glad I’ve saw that before. If you see other French or something, you let me know. I’m very, very sorry about that. So we’re switching. Okay, the rest is in, yeah, the rest is in English. So it works in English. So that was the only thing here. All right. Should make more sense. Yeah. All right. Perfect. Better? It’s in English. Okay, good. What I was saying here is I can see there’s difference. You can see here, description one is my difference. If I open that up, description1, once again, could have selected the right one. Like I mentioned here, by default, I use value from CAD when there’s a discrepancy. But I could say the other way around, I want to prioritize the information that’s ingenious.

Here, as you can see, well, the information ingenious, that’s my card. We can see that We can also say, Hey, I want to update it. I don’t want to update my CAD. So you can have a final say on those update. If, for example, turns out it was a one-time thing and you don’t want to correct the information in genius, you want it to be just a one time thing push and with a different description for some reason, you can still manage if you want to update or not your CAD. Basically, once we are okay with all of those changes, we’re going to see all All of those parts that needs to be created are going to be created, and it’s going to be pushed into the right places into my bomb. If I look here, you can see I have my bomb. If I go back into genius, just going to refresh that, and now I have my final bomb. All right. Another thing. I’m going to go back into my CAD. Another thing that we can see here is my BOM. But I also have routing. In that specific case, I know that I also did have routing onto my final operation.

My card needed to be a symbol, I open that up. It needed to be assembled and shipped. That’s because I put a template. So I’m going to show you how we map in everything, but you can add template of routing. That will be That will be there by default. What I did is I have a template that’s called assembly and shipping and associated to my final product, my card. That’s how I can see that I have those two operation that needs to be done. It’s a template. By default, there’s already rate. It’s already, in that case, 20 hours for assembly, 2 hours for shipping. What you can do here, if it’s a template, you can have general time and then update them before doing your final push. What we also see a lot is that product scheduling, I know, and comes in a on to modify those times. What sometimes people will do is engineering will push the routing, so assembly and shipping, with a rate of zero. Then later on, scheduling and planning will come in and put in the right time. That’s something that you can also manage and do a step-by-step process, and you don’t have to push all of that information right away if engineering doesn’t know it yet.

Good. Now, well, I’m okay with that information. I’m going to save it in. We’re going to add those to operation, assembly, and shipping here. If I go once again back into your genius, refresh it again, and we’re going to see those two operation. That’s something that I didn’t really talk about, but that little person logo here. I’m going to try to zoom in so you can see it properly. That means there’s an operation And so that’s my routing. Perfect. Last thing that I wanted to show you here is the destination. Production. You’ve seen, I have always pushed into my BOM library, but I could have selected something else, which we call engineering document. Now I’m going to talk about a little bit later on. But that’s where you could go in and define the right version and to which item it’s related to, and you can push and have multiple push on multiple version and push it back to production, which is the other demo that I’m going to do later on. But just so you know, that’s where you can define if you want to push into your BOM library or your engineering document.

Perfect. Last thing here. I told you that I’m going to explain a little bit how it works for the mapping and the sitting. How does genius know what will be the description, what will be the information, part number, and so on? That information comes from the property. In Inventor, it’s going to be the high property that you’re going to use. In that case, I in solidworks, or I’m in SolidWorks, so I’m going to use SolidWorks property. You can use the custom one, configuration, and so on. You can create those property, which let’s say, description number 3, what will be the description? Description number 1, what will be the value that you wanted to be pushed into genius? I also said that I have a routing template here. That’s the name that I gave to it, our template for routing template. That’s the value of my template template that already exists in genius. You can define all of those templates in genius. Then you just associate the right one to it. Once those property exist, we also have a mapping. The mapping is basically the information from genius, which is the field that we see here, and the source, that is the name that you gave it into your properties.

You can see there’s a lot of field that could be mapped. You don’t have to map all of those as you As you saw, I pushed it with just that information. You don’t have to map all of those. But if you need more information, you need to push more to genius, it’s possible to do so. Here, as you can see, my description That’s description1. That’s how I know it was supposed to be named PaletteCart. Lastly, like I mentioned, you don’t need to have all of those information. The only field that you really need It will be your family, which allow when you use a family, it’s a way to regroup type of product, and it will then fill out all of the information that genius need by default, based on the default value of that family. It’s just an easier way. You don’t have to map everything. You can just use the information from the family to push it to be able to create those new products in genius easily. The mapping just needs to be done one. Once the mapping is done, it’s saved, it’s a setup by default. All of your next and last and design that already exist will be mapped the same way.

You don’t have to do that every time. But that’s basically how genius cat 2. 1 works. I’m going to go back into here. Just want to make sure I did have some question here. I did have some questions. Before I move on, I’m just going to answer some of those. I have someone who asked me what drives the item create C’est unequivé, so family type, et cetera. I think I insert it. I just want to make sure. Just tell me if yes or no, and if you need more specification on that subject. Once again, I’ll do a map from Inventor Balloon number to the Balloon in genius. Same thing, we’re going to use the R property and we’re going to map it like I’ve just mentioned. So hopefully, I think I already answered it, but those information are there in genius and also into your CAD. Someone asked me if the engineer and the inventor set the operation in time. Like I mentioned, yes, it is possible. You don’t have to if the engineer doesn’t know. You can later on come in and manually import those operation if production knows them, but engineering doesn’t. It’s just a feature that we do have.

If engineering know, easier, we can just push it, but you can wait later on after engineering has completed their bill of manufacturing if you don’t know the routing and operation step. Perfect. So next section of this webinar, I just wanted to talk a little bit more about complex ETO project and a little bit about conquering engineering and how we can help you deal with this with ingenius. So first thing here, we’ll A little bit about concurring engineering, which is also known as a simultaneous engineering. It’s a method of designing and developing product in which different stage run simultaneously. Basically, what it do is it’s going to integrate product team. Well, to do so, an integrated product team, sorry, approaches. Approach is using to… So that everyone that needs to be involved into the product lifecycle will be involved at the beginning. Let’s say production, engineering, purchasing, everyone will be involved at the beginning and throughout the whole project. What it will do, the goal is to decrease product development time, but also to be able to start production even if the drawing are not completed. In that way, what we want to do is actually try to produce, try to push it to production even if drawing are not complete.

That’s exactly That’s basically what genius allows you to do. Another reason why we want to use Conquering Engineering is basically to try to have a lower cost, have a faster product development timeline, reduce lead time, have a better product the product and mostly improve customer satisfaction in total. To do so, by the way, we do have a webinar just on Conquering engineering, you want to go into more detail of that, but I’m just going to explain here how we can manage it with genius here. I’ve just mentioned to you BOM library, which we can push in from cat to BOM to the BOM library into genius. But we also have something called engineering lifecycle, which allows you to create multiple BOM version. Having multiple versions, multiple revision, and be able to track all of that throughout the lifecycle of production. But not only to track all of those versions, it’s also going to be able to push it to the production and release and adjust and add all of those modifications. You’re going to be able to add all of those into production as you go in, as you create and release more parts. Engineering life cycle is typically We’re going to use from the start.

From the sales order, from the quote, there is a new project. First time you’re doing a new product, very custom. We’re going to start it from sales and we’re going to create that engineering life cycle. And live throughout the whole project and be able to push and modify it as the project evolves. Obviously, we’re going to be able to push that cat to bomb, so that final design into the engineering go. That’s how we’re going to be able to have ongoing production. So I’m just going to do a little demonstration of that multiple revision, multiple version, and that push into production as you go. I’m going to go into Genies here and to that engineering life cycle. If you look here, you’re going to see it’s similar to what we saw in the BOM library. What we do have here is managing all of those different versions. In that scenario, let’s say, what we did here is that we have a sales order. First thing, the first version is my estimated version. Engineering It hasn’t come yet. I have a basic idea of what I’m going to make, so I’m able to estimate it, have a price, and have a general idea of what am I supposed to do.

Later on, engineering actually comes in, create a new version, push it through from cat to bomb, and have all of those other parts that just come in and has been modified. And that has been pushed into production. Production start working on it. The job it started. But then it turns out that we haven’t completed the design yet, but that’s okay because we just want to do a new version and we’re going to push. We push that new part that didn’t exist before, but now it’s just been added. It could be because the drawing was not complete, could be because there’s a change and you ask from your customer, so on. Whatever the reason, we’re going to be able to manage it. So now there’s a difference. So now I have that product and I wanted to make sure that production knows that this specific product has been add into the BOM. I’m going to go into the job of genius. Here, the first time again that you’ve seen genius, we are into the work order management, which is the job where we can see here the job and all of the work order in the operation that needs to be made into that job.

What I want to do is add from my engineering document. If I click on this, you’re going to see really quickly that I have something different. We do have here a legend. When you can see, if it’s in green, that means it’s the same. So from my engineering document to the job is the same thing. There’s no discrepancy. Here in blue, we can see, well, hey, it’s been added into your estimating document, so into your engineering document, but it’s not into the job yet. Basically, I need to add that into the job. There are multiple ways I can add it. I can reserve it, produce it, or produce it, which is going to explain that. Reserve basically means, well, I don’t want to make it because I know it’s in stock and I just want someone to know that they need to use it. I’m going to reserve it. If I want to make it, produce it, basically, I’m going to make it. There There is nothing in stock. I need to make it. First time we made that part, it doesn’t exist. So I need a work order because people need to work on it.

The last one here, the system will tell me. The system will look and say, Hey, do we have it in stock. If yes, we’re not going to make it. If we don’t have it in stock, then you should make it. We can let the system tell us what we should or should not do. In my case, I want to make it, so I’m going to actually reduce I’m going to confirm or I can confirm in review. If I confirm your review, it’s going to be add, and I’m just going to make sure that everything was made the way I wanted. It’s going to pop back in and I’ll say, Hey, yes, it’s been add. Everything in green is the same from those two scenarios. And so I’m going to go and look into that job, and that item has been add with a work order. Now someone needs to work on it. Perfect. One last thing I wanted to show you. I’m just going to go back into that engineering lifecycle just because I want to talk to you about preliminary purchases and production. Those two things here allows you to basically purchase something even though your BOM is not complete, your drawing is not complete.

So let’s say you’re doing a new product, new custom product, but you know that you need a specific motor to be purchased, but you know it takes you six months to have it. It could be a preliminary purchase. So we’re going to purchase, we’re going to be able to purchase it in time, even though the drawing are not even done, but we know it’s going to be there somewhere. What it’s going to do is once the push will be made, the two will be related to one another and we’ll know that this purchase has been made for that specific part and where it is into your bond. Basically, what it allows you to do is purchase in time, but also not purchase in double because the linked will be there. So you’re not going to purchase too much or not enough, and you’re going to purchase on time. Same thing with production. If you have something that you need to push to production, you need to start working on it, but you don’t know where is it going to be exactly, but you know it needs to be made, you can do the same and use our primary production.

I think that’s it. That’s what I wanted to show you for that demo. I’m going to go back here And very last thing here, I just wanted to show you a little bit of a dashboard of what we can do with Genius to help you manage all of those current engineering needs and all all of those changes, where you are into your production lifecycle, different status. If you have multiple engineer working on the same project, you’re going to be able to manage where they are, what’s been pushed to production, what hasn’t. Those type of things that you can deal, you can have with genius. And that’s something that we did with genius analytics to just show you what you can do with genius for conquering engineering management. Just so you know, again, there’s a webinar that I actually talked a bit more in detail about that. But I see that there’s a lot of questions, so I’m going to go right away to the question section then. There are some already. All right. Someone asked me if I can sort by balloon number, and Yeah, the information is into the software. If you want to have that information, it was into the bill of manufacturing actually.

Maybe I can go. I click somewhere. You see we have that Balun reference, so it’s something that you can push. I didn’t. I personally didn’t push it, but it’s there. So if the field is there, you can search from it and find whatever you want to find. I had another one, is sketch a bomb, including We’re going to go into the base license costs. If not, what is the additional license cost? I’m going to go into this specific information here for the costs. I will not have it. It depends on a different aspect like user and so on. If you want to know for the cost, yes, it’s additional cost. It’s not with the original license. It’s an add-on. But if you want to know more about the cost, you can either talk to yourself as a representative or you can also, if you have a customer success, talk to your customer success team. If you don’t know your customer success representative, you can go into that specific email. So customer successegenius. Com. Com. Another question. Here we have, in Inventor, when you push apart to genius, how does the raw material get tied to approachable material?

I don’t know if you remember, but we have that little and that little daughter sign, it will be exactly the same in Inventor. That’s basically a property. It could come up from the family. You could have two family, let’s say, purchase an item or a manufactured item. That could be two type of family, or you can just map it every time. Let’s say every time you want to say it’s something that I’ve purchased, something that I’m going to make. Just so you know, if sometime you’re making something, sometime you’re purchasing it, that’s still okay. We can manage it into the system, you can change that probably and be able to make it sometime or not purchase other times. Basically, it’s going to be managed the same way it’s a property or a high property in the inventors case or into the family that you’re going to use. Finally, the last one I have here is, can you get attachment into genius? Can you get attachment into genius? The part file ends up a linked attachment. Yes. Yes, Kelly. Basically, You can link it. There’s an attachment in Genius, so you can link the drawing. By default, Genius will use the solidworks link.

If you have like eViewer or something like that, you’re going to be able to open up and see the drawing. If you If you prefer something more like a PDF or something, you can just save your PDF into a file, then we can go into the background and attach it automatically, just depending on what type of attachment you want. But yeah, no problem to attach those files. I Are there any plans, possibility to expand Cat2bomb to work with AutoCAD? Good question for now. I don’t think so. I just don’t want to say something that I’m not aware of. I’m going to go back to you on this and make sure that it’s not in the roadmap as I’m aware of. I don’t think so. We do have the integration possible, though. Let’s say import and export with Excel or integration that can be done if that’s something that I’m interested in too. It won’t be CAD to BOM, but we can mimic a little bit the replica of how it works, and there’s integration possible to be able to work with AutoCAD. Okay, question are still coming in. I think that’s it. We have one other question Sorry.

That’ll be my last one. By the way, if I didn’t answer correctly to your question, you can write to me directly, paubegeniuserp. Com. I’m going to answer your question, or you can, once again, talk to your your sales representative and customer success for it. Lastly, I have, if the part number is incorrect in solid work, can you correct this by selecting the correct one like I show with the description before I push? The item number would really come from your drawing in that specific case. You can always, once you put it, though, you can always modify anything. Anything that’s in your bum or anything you can modify, and you’re going to be able to see it. But it’s not going to be a drop down like this because it really comes from exactly what you’ve selected into how you’ve drawn it, basically.
