Adept CAD Integration Workstation Requirements

CAD workstations have the most extensive hardware and software requirements because they require all available Adept applications, in addition to your design software.

Hardware Synergis supports the simultaneous installation and operation of the Adept Desktop Client and CAD Integrations on the same workstation. Provision workstations based on your CAD application’s requirements, as these will generally supersede Adept requirements.
