If you have purchased a third-party CAD integration tool, you can use it to attach a native CAD File to a Part, using the CAD authoring tool, for viewing and working in Aras Innovator. Once the integration license is used, and files are imported into Aras Innovator, the viewers will appear in a sidebar on the left-hand side of the Part view, allowing you to view and work with the CAD Files and images attached to the Part.
