Manufacturers enrolling in the Weblink program can embed custom data within the symbols that represent their products across the range of Stardraw design and documentation applications, including Stardraw.net, the world's first online CAD application. The custom links can point to simple web pages, or retrieve sophisticated parameter-driven information. Using Weblink, manufacturers can deliver any kind of resource to customers using Stardraw in response to a single click of the mouse; web pages, PDF documents, file downloads, records from databases - any information relating to physical products can now be accessed from the Stardraw platform via Weblink. Where products support control over TCP/IP, Stardraw Weblink can even give users access to browser-based control interfaces used by the latest generation of AV and networking equipment for total control of your AV system.
Subscription to the Stardraw Weblink program costs just $500 per brand per year and includes custom online administration tools for the management of Weblink data. Links can be added globally to entire ranges (for example, the manufacturer's website homepage), or on a product by product basis (e.g. product marketing and technical documentation, or even suggested pricing). Stardraw can manage data entry for those manufacturers who do not wish to administer their own Weblinks.
