Questions and answers
Start with the question behind your next decision.
Can I license customer engineering drawings?
Possession alone is insufficient. Identify the design owner and the permissions covering the proposed AI use before including them.
Are DWG files always more useful than PDFs?
No. The intended task determines the useful representation. An approved drawing image may suit one evaluation, while geometry and dependencies matter for another.
Does the inventory tool inspect files?
No. You enter high-level descriptions. It neither uploads files nor validates legal rights or file integrity.
