<Pause>
[Own Experience…] CAD… hard work…No ready solution…Create own
Not Easy… < Humour..Lst H >
….. Others – wanted to use my solutions .…. Mech-Q Started….
The Raw CAD software alone – NOT sufficient for
the CAD Pro
Other Tools –> to be efficient & profitable.
AIM:
To Offer you a solution that will significantly
Expand your design & drafting profitability.

2. CADian Welcome to the world of… CADian Plant drafting CAD easier… P&ID
What is Mech-Q… ?
Add-on applications/vertical utilities
Added to base CAD like: AutoCAD, LT or IntelliCAD
Recently questionnaire…. One of the Question
“Rate the time saving power of Mech-Q”
Overwhelming Conclusion…
“Mech-Q save you at least 50% compared to using AutoCAD/LT on its own”…. MQ works
MQ makes design/drafting work
Easier, more accurate -> More Profitable.
Example
We recently added a new feature to Mech-Q Ducting
A customer told us that this new feature alone saved
him 250 hours on a single job…
